How To Improve Salem's Music? (Also, Poll)
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2015 4:47 amFor the last five(?) months I've been working to create music for Salem, as I offered my services to John for free (mainly because I'm an egomaniac and hearing my own stuff in the game makes me happy). Still, I've read a lot of feedback on the forums involving a lot of people getting annoyed at the current violin players (you damned monsters). I'm kidding of course and sympathize, cus even I use a custom client to mute the violin players in town, partially because it gets old and partially because, having composed the songs, I'm well aware of anything slightly off about them - mistakes and crap I could have done better, that kind of thing. So two points:
1. I kind of feel guilty as it seems like I'm hogging the music composition scene. If you yourself have a few songs you think would fit, send them to JC. Seriously, they're likely to be put in the game. He's a little picky, and that's perfectly understandable since this game isn't just some video game mod, but a professional production. Just listen to his preferences and you can get involved too. However, not everyone has access to high-tech equipment used for digital music making but perhaps have musical ability anyway. If you feel you can contribute to Salem's music, throw me a PM and we'll talk it over. If you have a microphone, this could mean singing, which I could easily write accompanying parts for, or any other acoustic music you can play the lead for. Hell, even drums work. JC's requirements are fairly simple for Salem's music: no digital or electronic instruments in compositions (electric guitars or synthesizers). That still leaves plenty of ways to go.
2. What could be done to make the music in Salem less of a pain in the ass and more awesome? Poll above!
