REIVES'S PROFILE

Hiya folks! Recorded a little something for Dr. Horrible fans. It's actually pretty bad in terms of music since I'm not much of a singer, but just hopefully entertaining for fans of the show/movie (hope there are some ya around here). c: Cheers~

I gave an attempt at writing a short electronic BGM earlier, and figured it wouldn't hurt to post it here in case someone'd find some use for it - I haven't posted any new songs in a while anyway. It's experimental and I'm still trying to get familiar with the genre, but here it is:

The short demo can be played via either mouse-only or keyboard-only. Playing with mouse-only is recommended, but please keep the game at full-screen only (or read the .txt heads up in the folder). Cheers, and hope you enjoy.

(click to listen: Lyra's Melody main theme)


When Ralle Peregrine was a child, he began to hear a mysterious melody in his head. Around the same time, his childhood sweetheart, Lyra Shire, began to lose her hearing.

As they grew up, Ralle became a guitarist to accompany the strange melody that only he hears whenever he closes his eyes. By then, Lyra had gone completely deaf.

He wrote many songs for her, but she could hear none of them.




One day, while Ralle was playing that particular tune at his usual spot, a wagon came by and stopped. Out came a man; a wanderer named Traviston Estel, with a piece of rye hanging out of his mouth.

That of which he soon spat out, as he took out a music box, echoing the very melody that Ralle has been hearing all these years.

Bewildered, Ralle questioned him of the origin of the song - but the man did not know. In fact, it has been something that has been stuck in his head ever since he was a child as well, so he had the music box custom-made to keep it inside.





Upon hearing about Lyra's deafness as they conversed, the man spoke of the possibility for means to cure her in the big cities far, far away. For the sake of the common song of unknown origin they shared, Traviston offered to take them with him, as he was heading there himself.

Thrilled at even the remotest possibility of curing her, the couple took up the offer. And so began a journey, filled with obstacles, that uncovered a mysterious past that spanned centuries.


But they only had one wish,
For that one day, Lyra would finally be able to hear the songs Ralle wrote for her.





<Lyra's Melody - The Song She Whispered to Me> is a light, fairytale "RPG", with an aim of creating an interactive cinematic experience through a focus on story, atmosphere and music.

The main characters are obviously Ralle and Lyra. Here are their WIP portraits:

Lyra Shire:


Ralle Peregrine:


As Ralle, Lyra and co. travel through their journey, Ralle would try to write a song whenever they stop by at a town or notable locations, as a "journal" to capture their experiences from their travel - In hope of when Lyra is cured one day, she'd listen to them and be reminded of them in a way that she has never been before. Each of these locations will not have any BGM upon first arrival; but after Ralle finishes writing a song for the occasion, it'd then become that location's BGM.





P.S. Here is a little piano recording of its main theme, "Lyra's Melody": Click Me (Youtube link)


P.P.S.
I was originally going to release this as part of the Release Something event, but ended up being late. :-\ I understand that my projects don't exactly fit like a glove around here; but hopefully you guys could take a quick moment and give it a spin, as I do find the feedback from this side very helpful.

Thanks in advance, I really appreciate it.

One that I wrote while passionately singing in the shower last night / at 4 in the morning. I would like to share it with you all.

Its name is "Fly away to taco island". Hope you enjoy

Lyrics:

Every day I wish that someday I could just fly away ~Whoa whoa~

To an island with just you

...

...and an unlimited supply of tacos

(and burritos)


That way I don't have to pay for taco after taco after taco
~Whoa whoa~

(and burritos)

And with the money we save, we'd go to Wal-Mart and buy some nachos

~Sweet sweet nachos~


...But we can't,

'Cause we'd be on that island with just you and I

and tacos

(and burritos)

whatever

Just some character sketch progresses for Ralle and Lyra from Lyra's Melody and Quintessence as I struggle through them. I'm still pretty early into the stages though, so not much is done. :x
