Here’s the latest version of Shipwrecks and Demons!

Current synopsis:  Your character has just been shipwrecked into a woodsy area, you start exploring your surroundings, find a small clearing to a cave perhaps, then the monsters come out!  Then, you find the camps of a volcano-worshiping tribe (I need to add some volcano sound effects hehe), then perhaps venture to a cave at the base of a mountain deeper in the forest to find inside it is a large empty dwarven hall or throne room.  Next thing you know you are hiding behind darkened columns in a corner observing some sort of party…

PS: The new part is at the end around 6:54  Oh,  and if you can figure out where that percentage comes from..   you get…  to pat yourself on the back!  Good Job!

Added a new verse to the beginning of the soundtrack.  I’m having a lot of fun with this thing.  I had to plug a 2nd MIDI cable into the XV-5080 so I could use the 2nd set of MIDI channels as the single group of 16 channels was not enough, now I have all 32!  Now I just have to watch the accursed polyphony limit.

Have I mentioned that I am really starting to love the XV-5080 now?  I still need to get some more SRX expansion boards, I really want to get SRX-04 (Symphonique Strings) and SRX-10 (Big Brass Ensemble), perhaps later on maybe SRX-03 (Studio) also. 🙂

Current synopsis:  It starts on a pirate or maybe viking ship, then you get shipwrecked into a woodsy area, you start exploring your surroundings, find a small clearing to a cave perhaps, then the monsters come out!  Then, you find the camps of a volcano-worshiping tribe (I need to add some volcano sound effects hehe), then perhaps venture a cave at the base of a mountain deeper in the forest to find inside it is a large empty dwarven hall or throne room.

Good title?  Either way, here is the latest revision to the track I am working on.

Synopsis:
Some ambient background music I guess, I picture the situation being as follows:  Your character has just been shipwrecked into a woodsy area, you start exploring your surroundings, find a small clearing to a cave perhaps, then the monster(s?) come out!  Maybe you wake up? 🙂
