Archduck's Small Song Compiledom: Volume 4
6Year 4 of the Archduck, and I couldn't be happier about it. Out of the dusty hatches of the secret stash come this year's set of songs that didn't quite get to be their own video. Descriptions and the why below.
1) Medieval Bard Song 0:00 - I wrote this to be part of a video where I ran around in Dark and Darker playing music to random strangers. Whenever I tried nobody was using their mics, so this never manifested. If Dark and Darker ever comes out maybe you'll be hearing this again.
2) New Super Mario Bros Unswung 0:38 - An unswung remix I couldn't get to work the way I wanted to, the baseline just sounds unworkable with unswung.
3) Sparks of War 0:45 - "Your turn took so long my civilization invented music". I wrote this song while playing a game with my friends and it took forever to get to my turn.
4) Valentine Response Piano Draft 1:12 - My rough draft of Valentine's Response. I took this very seriously, writing out this basic outline before making the complex song that's out now. I wanted to share the original draft.
5) Trouble in Tuba Town 1:53 - This was supposed to be the tuba boss theme to go with the Tuba Town theme I made a while ago. I actually tried to write it this year but could never get it done or something I was really happy with, maybe some day. I like the title a lot so hopefully some day.
6) Battle off the Starboard Bow Piano Draft 2:34 - I forgot I did a piano draft for this song as well, might as well include it too, I think drafts are fun to get to hear, you get to see what became the song off the initial idea.
7) Crypt Title 3:23 - The sparse title theme for Crypt, the fake video game soundtrack I've been working on. I think it's too sparse to be the title theme, but maybe. It's too short and I don't know how I'd increase its length if I were to ever finish it, so it's being delegated to the small song compiledom with the others.
8) SAD SONG :( 3:47 - I wrote this in a bit of a slump, and I intended to finish it by adding a lot of instrumentation. This is what should've been the piano draft. I've just been too happy to want to work on something that is so sad sounding.
To another year of greatness with the Archduck.
