Let me preface this by saying I am a huge fan of Tolkien. I play on online game called "Lord Of The Rings Online". In this game there is a complex but really cool music system. It allows for players to create and play music in the game.
Being a fan of Michael as well, I decided to mix the 2 loves. I created a Minstrel (Mcdermott Murphy), whose basic job in the game is the raise others morale thru songs (ballads).
I am a quite limited musically, but have managed to put together a couple songs so far. I'd like to share them with you all.
The first song Mcdermott performed was an old Irish folk tune, Whiskey in the Jar, (like The Dubliners youtu.be/46EXY4oP1Do) performed in the countryside somewhere outside The Shire: youtu.be/wufcu5gHnPk
Tonite he performed inside the Prancing Pony in Bree, a Springsteen cover (youtu.be/PnYVrfwa4MY) of Badlands: youtu.be/XBBkJxhQUB0 BTW, the title behind his name (Ballad Master) was earned doing various quests.
Both of my uploaded YouTube songs from the game are best viewed in 1080p, so change the quality if able.
Kinda corny I know, but done with my heart in the right place. I'd love nothing more than to do an actual Michael song. I have a crude work up of "Idler" but it need SERIOUS help! lol If any of you have the talent to make a MIDI of "Idler" on the keys, I'd be SO greatful! I could figure out adding the lyric notes as a second track and merging them. MIDI is the format I need to be able to convert into .abc for the game. I know it probably seems silly to most, but I have nothing but time usually to dream up projects.
