                Wanderer's Tale (5:50)

        by Eterman in 30.11.2000 for the Merregnon compo


        With this tune, and the yet unreleased "Knights of Whispers", I'm
 getting back to my older habits of 4/4 with three accents in each.
 Lately, my music has rather been almost precisely 3/4 (sometime 6/8 and
 such as well) quite a lot due to the way I play piano. I find it easier
 to compose music using a very familiar bass structure. (of which some
 glimpses are seen in the way I handle cello in Northern Shimmer, for
 instance and also plainly seen in Midnight Tempest Concerto; the piano
 work I play myself, apart from the most difficult ones, of course)
        Here, however, it is evidently 4/4 (or 12/8, of course). This
 rhythm you find here I learned in the early phases of my tracking
 from some Skaven's songs, especially "War in the Middle Earth". Now, what
 a great track that one still is!

        Whoa, I made it in time! I knew I could do it! And not a lousy
 track at all, I suppose. I even think there are some of the very best
 harmonies here I've ever created and as to the enjoyability angle, I
 can't tell you reasonably well how stunnignly inspiring it is to me,
 listening to this song, that is. I doubt anyone could enjoy this piece as
 much as I do, but feel free to try anyhow. :)


        "On that hard, cold pier this wanderer lay motionless, giving the
 last breaths of his long joyrney. I knew his name. Darom seemed to
 know his person. Yet only our beloved King had admitted knowing his soul.
 The expression in his so often stern face, was now an uncertain battle
 between grief and delight, something none of us could fully
 understand. I still wonder, if I ever will.
        "Nevertheless, the old man had not yet departed from our presence,
 but opening his eyes he silently began to talk. Although his voice
 was weak in volume, it intruded my very mind in an instant. It felt
 certain that he did not only speak to our ears, but he spake into our
 minds in a power, nobility and authority both scarcely less in power than
 those of the King himself.
        "So powerful was the impression, that not only did I listen to the
 words spoken, but I could also see in my mind what the Wanderer was
 telling us all. In the next moment the images were not in my mind
 anymore, but I beheld them even with my very eyes, not making a
 difference between that which was part of the tale, and that which was
 happening at the moment, for all my senses had ascended from the present
 occurences into observing those from the past.
        "Both sorrow and joy were represented in the narration, as the old
 man, much older than we all had though first, it now seemed, took us all
 into this long journey of his, which, as we soon noticed, was not only a
 story of one man's life, but was closely linked with the recent history
 of this very continent we inhabitate. Verily, this was a story of a force
 drawing peoples towards the paths of peace, and as this all became
 clear to me, I swiftly gained a better understanding of the grievous
 manner the story was told in.
        "Then, as I was in the verge of weeping myself in this sudden
 burst of sympathy, we were all presented with acts of great nobility and
 a tremendous delight that was brought within in the heart of the
 Wanderer, who, although clearly possessed a strong feeling of longing,
 enjoyed greatly in his recollections of the souls once proving such noble
 qualities and strength in their devotions.
        "However, this nobility, a quality I only recently had learned to
 value, was soon somewhat overshadowed in the narrative voice by another
 kind of emerging tone, which brought immense emotional warmth into us
 trying to help us understand the most precious feelings the Wanderer had
 carried with him during the long journey. It was nothing else than a pure
 love that had given strength for this honorable old man to carry on with
 his task. This experience was instructing chiefly for myself, who never
 before had quite conceived any love based on honor.
        "The nature of many those things present, was somewhat
 incredible to the natural mind of humankind, not less due to many actions
 our written history had never provided the least indication to. Still,
 despite all the new knowledge that was rather difficult to accept, I can
 not recall one moment of uncertainty in my mind, as the confining
 manner by which the narration was brought before us, was in all senses
 undeniable for any honest soul not apt to deceiving oneself. For one
 thing I have learned in this world of deception and distrust, is that
 although people usually believe in what they are willing to believe, the
 scant number of people that have a frank intention to believe in the
 truth because of it's relieving nature, tend not to be deceived.
        "However, one must not be distracted by the delusion, that
 this new information we were given, was the most precious gift the
 Wanderer delivered us that very moment. Nay! Surely none of us ever
 valued any of the knowledge, as far as sheer historical events are
 considered, for the gift we were granted in addition was truly much
 greater indeed.
        "For as we were allowed to follow on his trail, we experienced the
 very feelings the Wanderer himself went through, and that was something
 none of us could ever forget. Verily, in those moments I learned more
 than I had learned before during all my years that far. We were truly
 allowed to taste something that clarified our glances, purified our
 minds, and made our hearts burn in delight, and this is the thing I will
 forever be grateful for.
        "The story drew nigher to its end, and we saw the steps that
 brought both armies into this battle, this sorrowful event we had
 considered so victorious just some moments ago. Now we saw - in the
 eyes of the Wanderer, whose narrative voice grew ever weaker bringing
 us smoothly back to the present - the true nature of nobility: the true
 nature of commitment and devotion. Then, in a swift moment, he was gone,
 and we, with our shattered, hollow honors, were left standing alone
 with but one clear thought in our minds: this old man, this commonly
 unknown wanderer, had with his recent actions saved us all from an
 evident perdition. A true kind of peace was now established, which was a
 glorious thing itself, but more momentous for my knowledge and further
 growth was to become aware of this fundamental truth: The Wanderer's
 mission was not abolished by his departure in any way.
        "These things I often discuss with my King, as we go on with
 our lives now, as far as such term is appropriate here, for our lives
 were not comparable to those we had lived before this wonderful
 experience took place. These discussions are mostly to my own account, as
 the King had met the Wanderer before and appeared to understand
 something I was yet to learn. I have still many miles afore me until I
 can completely perceive his world, a world which I was not born in, but
 which I have a flaming desire to explore.
        "Darom, however, I saw never since, but as I have studied these
 recent occurences and also those from the farther past, I have grown most
 certain, that he has finally found a just, true devotion for himself,
 following which he incessantly wanders throughout the land."

 That story above is not ment to represent the song structure, but
 rather some of the feelings and insights brought to my consciousness
 during the tracking process. That's only one story from one angle ment
 to, to.. well I don't know what it is ment to do. I just wrote it. You,
 as a listener, may imagine whatever you wish.

 I'm not saying this program is totally wrong, but in this case its
 suggestions are getting frustrating. Song message too long?! Who does it
 think it is trying to tell me anything about thi

 Said this so many times,
 but it still applies:

 I really am more just
 a composer than a
 tracker. It's mostly
 about how long it
 usually takes for me
 to track anything.

 And with a deadline
 here, I wasn't sure if
 I was really going to
 make it. Usually
 pressure improves my
 working, but afterall
 my way of creating
 music depends so much
 on inspiration and all
 those little psychic
 things one can nothing
 about.
 So what I do, I give it
 time. It grows gradually
 and eventually all the
 details meet and music
 starts to live.

 Greetings to all you
 cool people I know.
 Listing things is often
 great fun, but now I
 decided not to.

 You may wonder, how
 I have time to write
 down all this stuff and
 still I should lament
 on the lack of time.

 Simple it is: Here in
 Finland it's soon
 midnight, but in the
 states the deadline will
 not be until some 7
 hours. That just didn't
 occur to me before.

 And please be exhausted
 and read further
 comments and a story
 in song message. :)


 I'd actually be glad
 to get any feedback on
 my english there.
 That means: after you're
 done with laughing,
 would you mind telling
 me which of the numerous
 errors was the most
 amusing one?

 Thank you.

 sample credits...
 hmmm...
 that's a tough one.

 Not me, to start with.

Nice samples alltogether,
I had no problems to work
with the sample packs.
 Perhaps I even could not
 have found better ones,
 were those sample packs
 not available.

 I mean, nothing much
 to complain on them
 16 bit, nice sound,
 it was easy and
 comfortable to work
 with them as soon as
 I picked the right
 samples, did some
 re-tuning on a few and
 built the loops.
