I know you're still thinking about a harmonised version, but I decided it's been 8 months since we last had a video; we deserve something. So this is officially a first draft of the Prison Duet video, but I'm not planning to change the visuals. It should be pretty easy to replace the audio if and when we have a new version.

Which means, unless I'm mistaken, that we now have a complete first-pass run of the first 19 songs! It is literally only the three finale songs to go.

I have really been dragging my feet... Sorry

I have finally made a sung version. It is not great, but I didn't have another day to get another pass at it. It shows me four things. Firstly, the harmony is a bonus but definitely not a must, and can be easy or complicated; I would say this is medium. Secondly, for the final "doom fell", I sung it the way it felt natural to me, and then just faded out the excess music to match the singing. I think this works better than trying to force the singing onto the music. Third, my mic is dying. I don't know what I did with it. I used it for Aria, and it was amazing. Then I used it for Luthien & Feanorians, and it was already giving poor quality. And now this - it's absolutely unpresentable. I would get better quality from phone. It's good to know before I do any actual recordings, but it's a real shame. And finally, listening to both recordings, I really really like the lyrics we settled on for the last stanzas.

I have been thinking about how to best get a "sketch" for the harmonies to you, and figured it would probably work best if I just sent you a separate Audacity file with my sketches and my recording for reference. So look out for an email. ^.^
