FFXIV Community,
Final Fantasy fan as well as violinist here. When I'm not in-game I've been thinking about the wonderful music of this game and have arranged the music for the city of Ul'dah for solo violin. Check it out here:

Awesome! :) I love seeing musicians take on fan creations like this! If I were actually decent at making my reeds, I might even try to do it with my oboe... xD
Great rendition. -
10-31-2013, 11:35 PMRafeMacleodOboe is a wonderful instrument. If I had the time to pick up another kind of instrument it would be oboe. I love the tone. And I'm glad you like the music! I actually started this project toward the end of Beta phase 3 but hit some slowdowns nailing down the exact layout of the music and some details recording. My next one should be up much quicker now that I know the process better.Quote:

love it =D

11-01-2013, 01:50 PMRafeMacleodYeah, problem is there is so much great music to choose from. I'm definately going to make Limsa and Gridania a priority... But was actually thinking about the Garuda boss fight too. It's got an interesting fusion of Bach-style Toccata and rock elements with other themes. If anyone else has an opinion of what they would like to hear next I would love to hear it :)Quote:

Violin is my favorite instrument to listen to and you did a great job... however, you played it just a bit too fast. Slow it down a bit and you'll be golden.

11-21-2013, 07:08 AMRafeMacleodThanks for the feedback. Yeah, some musical phrases sound better faster and others slower. And there is a bit of a balancing act there and even choosing whether on not to change the tempo. I was going back and forth a little on this until this was the tempo that felt comfortable with me. And because the driving beat holds the music together changing tempo seemed like it would break the flow of the music.Quote:
