Hi, fellow Linux Musicians,

I produced a piano ballad with Ardour using mostly stock General MIDI synth and a beautiful vocal samples from https://librivox.org.

It sets an Edgar Allan Poe poem to music:

I even made a music video for it with footage from a recent trip to windy Denmark:

Awesome, I really like the music and the video, they work very well together.

Thanks @LAM for the very kind feedback!
I got so much into the flow during production, so that I am glad that somebody finds it also

Very nice! I think the music fits the poem very well and the reader has a very nice accent.

Thanks @Basslint Appreciate your feedback!

Great work with the declaration. Being a sound fetishist, even I didn't particularly take umbridge at the GM sounds. If that doesn't spell excellent composition, I don't know what does. Simple, but expressive, spartan yet powerful! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much @jeanette_c
Your feedback is really very encouraging!

I tweak the velocities of the GM sounds quite a bit to make them sound less sterile.
Also putting the midi notes slightly off grid helps a bit. And of course the usual portion of reverb and delay ...

But of course, nothing is better than a real instrument.

Best

Very beautiful, and dramatic.

Great composition.
