Hi, anyone knows whether or not there's a sheet music for Dram's tracks used for dominions?- If indeed there is one then I'd like to try playing and improvising on it :jam:

I'm playing for fun and as of late starting to branch out of classical music into folk & medieval (aka modes). From the sound of it I'd bet it's on dorian or mixolydian scale which should be really cool to try. I can try to figure it out by ear but I'm not that good at this and would prefer to avoid the tedium.

BTW, just out of curiosity. Are there any musicians (of any skill level) in the house?

TIA,
WL

Well I have recently started to learn the concertina. :) But my playing is the kind of thing to make you go to the next room! (although the sound is quite piercing so that doesn't help much, as my housemates are learning to their cost)

I sort of muddle with guitar, but I'm erratic. I used to play saxophone and my daughter is starting it so I'm helping her practice. That's about. I do sing a lot.

I've played piano since middle school, but never above an amateur level. I haven't played much recently due to ergonomic issues (ugh). And my synth just broke. I'm looking at getting one of the modern digital pianos they have now, with the fully-weighted hammer action. Nice.

I was 12 years a percushionist. Most of school and abit after.
(drums for those that wonder)

Should we put together a crazy band and necro the Dominions Songs thread?

Nice skill variety. Indeed we could have formed a band. That is, if we weren't scattered on the four corners of the earth :)

llamabeast, I think I saw the concertina being used a lot in Argentina for all those tango acts. There they make sensual music with it.

Oh and djo, I also have some ergonomic issues, that's one of the reasons I didn't go for the weighted hammer action, I prefer the touch sensitive mechanism that requires much less finger exertion.

I've been a professional Kazoo player for 12 years. I also dabble with the triangle ;).

Played the Piano since I was 10. I'm 32 now. Picked up the guitar 6 years ago, it's easier to have with you then a piano ;)

Guitar has it's ups and downs vs. Piano/Keyboard. It's very neat to control both. For me, what with being busy at work there's simply no time to learn to play guitar. Well, more accurately, if I am to learn I prefer advanced topics like music theory and different styles rather than learn the technique all over again.

I guess that there are no sheet music for dominion tracks. Well, hopefully I'd be able to muster the patience to write it down myself from ear. Not going to happen soon that's for sure...

It's nice to hear about all the different things dominions players play. I didn't thought there would be that many and so diverse. I didn't even know what a Kazoo is :o

You'll have to learn it by ear... :)

Or use the simple bass tab... (the simple ones never sound right)

I have played instruments for a while (bass guitar 2 years, guitar for about 6 years, and violin for about 4 years). Could figure the tunes out, but I'm way too lazy, and I have a lot going on. Really do like Dram's music though.

Searched for Trilltrall.... don't know, this is actually pretty strange.

Yeah, I could use the practice though I was always a lazy listener.

Anyway, found a sheet music for it - http://sites.google.com/site/dennissherman/music. Very basic, just gives the general outline.

Also found a midi here - http://www.kunstderfuge.com/medieval.htm

They are not in the same key though.

Impressive :)

Perhaps when I get some respite from work and RL I'll set down to record and share something classic.

Oh, and you could try to form your own "Dram" :up:

Nice selections, I like Arkansas Traveler and Tchaikovsky is my favorite classical composer. Just out of recommendation, you should really check out the soundtracks for Final Fantasy 7 and Arcanum, very well done. There's a good bit of game music here: http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/view-all
