Music Claim: "Marketplace"

I need a piece of music composed for the City of Riften. This will play during the day while the player is in the city. It will be a fast paced, upbeat piece of music, that would fit in a bustling marketplace. It should sound kind of "twangy", kind of like something you would hear at a medieval fair/carnival/tournament/festival. If anyone ever played the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the tune should set the same "mood" as what played in the Marketplace below Hyrule Castle.

I'm a mandolin player, which should be able to provide you with the style of music you're looking for. I'll see if I can get any of my friends interested in recording some music for you guys.

Cool, it would be great if you could get a group of guys together to work on the piece. If you can get them together that would be good, maybe start expirementing on your own first though so we can give eachother an idea of what you want and what the team is looking for. Also the piece should be 4+ minutes to avoid becoming repetetive, because that is all that will play in Riften during the day time.

And BTW welcome to Skyrim for Oblivion and the Beyond Cyrodiil Mod Community!!! Jump

Thanks,
I've been following this for awhile... looking very much forward to your first release...
I'm glad to help, I don't know enough about modding to really help you guys out too much
I think a guitar and a mandolin together should be enough, but depending on what you guys are looking for, I might be able to throw in a banjo and a fiddle...
I'm just concerned about figuring out a way to get a high quality sound recordings, so I'll work on that.

Once I manage to figure out how to record it.... I'll post some solo work of mine so you can get a taste of what the mandolin is like... since most people rarely hear a mandolin in their life.

Well, I'm not Siegfried (the leader of the Skyrim project) but I don't think there's any big rush, so come up with a good product, and the Skyrim team will do the rest. Have fun! Dancing Banana

Ok, my main concern right now is
A) Finding a method of recording my music
B) Finding some music TO play at all (I'd like to avoid writing it if I have to, but if I can't find any music which will fit, I'll write it myself)
But once I figure everything out, I should have it done in not too long, just a month or two... depending on how many people I can get into this....
I can't gurantee anything though

You could do each instrument seperately then mix it all together with a sound editor. That HAS been done before. May be difficult though.

Here http://www.homerpalooza.net/zelda.html listen to "lein 1" under Replacement on the far left side of the screen (you don't want the "lein 1" under Realm". Its to lighthearted and cartoony sounding for Skyrim, but the mood it sets and the general sound and beat are what I'd like to go for for the "Marketplace" piece.

Thanks a lot for the link, that helped me a lot...
The mandolin will actually fit the role a lot better for this than I thought... might actually be good solo with just a drum or a bass giving the beat instead of messing with chords and stuff...
Ok, I started writing this tonight... should be done eventually...

Glad it was useful, about what I said before though, I screwed up with the location, it should be "lein 1" found under the column on the far right of the screen under replacement, the one in the grey column titled realm in the center right of the screen is not the one you want to listen to.

Yeah, I figured you had given me the wrong one...
Well anyway, I was thinking, the tune is going to have to be a bit more dynamic than just the same feel all through...
For example, do you want it to be very very dramatic with a dramatic start that moves into what you're looking for....
or do you want it to be a bit more subdued and just generally cheerful?

What exactly do you mean by dramatic, like have the piece start out very loud and fast paced?

I have some marketplace kind of music in the works, we can use that in some other town or not

I believe Brunswicks Mandolin will do the job much better for Riften!! And welcome to Skyrim, I?m looking forward to hearing your stuff!!!

RE: [Skyrim] Music Claim: "Marketplace"

Ok, I've been fooling around with recording my mandolin, and since I'm getting high speed internet this Friday, I should be able to start giving examples of the mandolin's many acousitc features....
Well, anyway, I've been wondering, how is the progress for Skyrim going?

Here's an unfinished little ditty I've been trying out my new sound library with. It probably wouldn't work since it has a strong martial element but starting around 1:08 it gets more lively and "marketplacey".

I like the first part of it... It might actually be good as an exploration theme for Elsweyr... Did you write the music?

Yeah, it's all original. What culture type is Elsweyr exactly?

A bit Egyptian, a bit Middle Eastern, you could have a look at our forum if you're interested. Yes

We're planning a trailer sometime soon, so we could use any help we can get, and I personnally would like to see some new music.

We just got the heightmap for Elsweyr-Valenwood, so we'll be getting the project off the ground hopefully sometime soon

I would love to do some trailer music for you as well as contribute to the project. I'll certainly check out the forums.

Have you thought about using the Daggerfall shop theme as marketplace music? Here's my version of it which would probably need a different ending to work properly.

Wow!!

The "TES demo 4" is awesome, it?d fit Elsweyr very well I think as an exploration tune.
The theme to shop by is very good but it gets too romantic for a general town song I think, it sounds very folkly and nordish and alittle mideival english. Would suit a tavern better I think.

Keep up the good work!! Good job!
