  • GET THE PIECE HERE: colmmcguinness...
    ...... no it's not a Life Is Strange piece.
    This piece was written and recorded in under 2 days during 'Storm Emma', hence the title. It's also my biggest use of production to date, I'm trying to get more into filming outdoors and this was difficult for a number of reasons... namely filming in -2C is not good for your or your violin's health.

    I had thought of a story where a town must prepare for a once in a lifetime destructive storm that may raze their entire town to the ground, and only their teamwork and their tolerance with each others can help them survive. This song helped make that story easier to convey

    Music makes me fall back to stories so to this peice here we go.
    The trail over the mountain side was rough and covered in snow. Something they were growing ever familiar with as they had scaled the treacherous cliff side, but they knew the hardships they had faced to get this far were worth it. The trees split and the sky gave way as they crested the end of the trail and oh the world that opened infront of their eyes. The clouds moved slow over the painted white terrain the air ao cold not even the wind moved across this vast white plane, and small little lights dotted the scene. They gazed out from their mountain top and upon the town that laid ahead, for it had been maybe a decade or so since their eyes had graced this land. Be it nostalgia or something more they couldn't fight the smile that had worked its way onto their face, and as they took in the veiw a tear rolled down their check. "Welcome home weary traveler it's been quite some time, but I knew it would be worth even that climb" the poetic verse came from their lips as they straightened their pack, grabbed their hiking poles and began to work down the mountain side to the place they call home

    Wonderful. A curious question though: What is it about northern music that always makes it sound like there is a wide landscape that is hiding a mysterious and ancient secret that when discovered reveals something bittersweet? Is this an essential part of northern imagination or is it just me? This feeling just seems more predominant than in music of other hemispheres.

    • @l.k.3966
      @l.k.3966 Před 3 lety +7

      well it is something regional.. yes, it may come from the fact that we still have those wild landscapes with some mysterys hiding here and there ;D
      But yeah it is basically a commonly shared national, and regional perception, we grow up with fairytales,stories, lullabies and sayings that all feature similar Motives. so it is widely percepted.

      It could very well be that this is just because we've seen this music used so often with slow camera glides over exactly that sort of landscape, in exactly that sort of story. (And with either a woman with wind-blown hair somewhere to the side, or nine companions on a quest making their way through the landscape.)

      @principal18 Před 2 lety +1

      @@Julia-lk8jn I understand what you mean, that our imagination is guided by suggestion and association and at least part of that is true - but I think there is a more poetic component involved as well - that musical perception is an intersensual expression from our subconscious which is guided not only by cultural association but by nature - even to a level that sounds can express deeper and more complex feelings hidden from our logic but very similar in everyones experience making them very present in certain situations or even landscapes
