Carl Larsson - Wake - MIDI Edition
Channel: Chris Xiong
Date: 2021-10-09

This is "Wake" by Carl Larsson (aka Nightbeat), originally an Impulse Tracker file, converted to MIDI with it2midi.cpp.

Yet another beautiful Celtic folk piece. Short and sweet. The melody is very simple yet still super catchy. I might be addicted to these. I wish I could have the talent to compose such pieces.

This one is very rhythmic, so rhythmic that it makes me twitch to the music without me noticing. I tried to add some modern elements to it. I might have overdone it.

Other than that I did not add a whole lot this time. However I did add some harmonics and slides here and there to the guitar. I find occasional slides and harmonics cute.

Yeah, I know that's not the correct percussion instrument. But all bodhran presets I have sounds like crap. Fight me.
