Calcined and Cauterized – Caleb Widogast’s Theme
Hi! This is my attempt at an orchestral theme for Caleb Widogast from Critical Role!
If you're new here, hi!! I'm Elle, and I make music sometimes. Most of the other videos on my channel are related to an animated show called RWBY that you may or may not have heard of - but if you're mostly into CR content, don't worry! It's a miracle that I posted twice in one year, so if you subscribe I won't over-fill your subscription box haha. I plan on releasing more of these types of scores, and am currently attempting to brainstorm ideas for themes and leitmotifs of the other members of the Mighty Nein. Right now I'm trying to figure out how to emulate a bone flute for Cad.
If you aren't new here, sorry for the not RWBY related post, but I couldn't help myself - Critical Role is my other favorite thing in existence and I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it! I'll *try* to put out some more RWBY related stuff soon, but I can't make any promises because life is life.

For Penny - An Original RWBY Composition
Переглядів 4353 роки тому
Hi! I’ve upgraded from using garageband on my phone (which was used for... literally every other video on this channel) to logic pro, so that’s good! I can actually change the tempo without combining two different projects :’)... I still don’t have a midi keyboard though. pain This is a short original piece I wrote the other day because I was in my feels about Penny; it’s based around a combina...

This was just a little thing that I made over the course of today! I heard the song and as a total geek for leitmotifs totally loved it- it’s based off of the Jaune/Pyrrha love theme that you hear in the score! I’ll definitely be doing a full cover of this when the soundtrack comes out- all piano songs are definitely excessively easier to cover. Artist Credit: mojojoj27827860/status...

    Knew you since years without even knowing, I've always loved your Path to Isolation instrumental I forgot about RWBY for a while so I didn't heard this one sooner, but I love it as much And while I'm here, may I ask if you could make an instrumental version of Home ? I'm seeking for once since years but I can't find anything really good, so it would made my day (Yeah it's to sing, but only in my room for now) So uh, thanks in advance whatever the answer is

    I admit, I've always wanted to hear This Life Is Mine without the vocals, but I was always frustrated that every video I found was basically just the OG, but basically distorted as Hell due to trying to muffle out said vocals or some crap. At the very least, I love the work you put into making your own instrumental cover! This is very well done, and I love listening to this whenever I want to fantasize Weiss Schnee becoming a collaborative kind of skin for Fiora or someone else in League of Legends' roster of playable characters. Like, fr, if Riot Games made special skins where characters from other IPs filled the shoes of their champs, I admittedly would eat that up that like a delicious luxury dinner I don't need, but want anyways because I saw it.

    Deutsche Übersetzung des Lied Textes (German Translation of the Lyrics) Es beginnt Mit dem unerwarteten Verlust Von etwas Wichtigem Die Wärme Die getröstet und gewiegt hat Verschwindet einfach Und an ihrer Stelle ist nichts Nur ein endloses leeres Loch Das Licht, das den Weg zeigte, verschwand Und die Dunkelheit nahm Kontrolle Bitterkeit und Wut füllen schnell die Leere Der Weg in die Isolation Ist übersät mit zerstörten Träumen Die Kälte Scheint in meiner Seele zu wachsen Sie verschlingt mich Verwirrt Und ich verliere mich In dem Sturm werde Abgestumpft Geschubst und gezogen Ich entwirre Kann mich nicht finden,wenn ich Ständig gezwungen bin mich anzupassen Feinde umgeben mich aber Die Schlimmsten erscheinen als Freunde Lügner und Heuchler Versuchen nur, ihre Ziele zu erreichen Alles zerbricht Direkt vor meinen Augen Ich schaue in den Spiegel Und sehe jemanden, den ich nicht kenne Die Freude Die mein Herz kannte sie Entzieht sich mir Entfernt Und das Einzige, was ich fühle, ist allein Das Lächeln verblasst Und ich drehe und sinke werde schwächer Eingefroren in Einsamkeit Es friert bis auf die Knochen Erinnerungen entfliehen Als mein Herz sich entleert Narben, die Wunden bedecken verbergen nicht selbst zugefügten Schmerz Alles was mein Verstand will Im Konflikt mit meinem Herz Kämpfe um weiter zu leben Doch jeden Tag zerbreche ich noch mehr Spiegel, was ist das was ich seh? Wer starrt mir entgegen? Ein Fremder zu meinem Herzen füllt meinen Verstand Spiegel hilf mir, wer bin ich?

    Mirror Can you hear me? Do I reach you? Are you even listening? Can I get through? There's a part of me that's desperate for changes Tired of being treated like a pawn But there's a part of me that stares back From inside the mirror Part of me that's scared I might be wrong That I can't be strong I've been afraid Never standing on my own I let you be the keeper of my pride Believed you when you told me I was nothing on my own Listen when I say I swear it here today I will not surrender This life is mine! Amazing how you conquered me Chained me in servility And made me see The world the way you told me to But I was young, and didn't have a Way to know the truth Born to live your legacy Existing just to fill your needs A casualty of this so-called "family" That you have turned into a travesty But I don't intend to suffer any longer Here's where your dominion falls apart I'm shattering the mirror That kept me split in pieces That stood between my mind and my heart This is where I'll start I'm not your pet Not another thing you own I was not born guilty of your crimes Your riches and your influence Can't hold me anymore I won't be possessed Burdened by your royal test I will not surrender This life is mine! Shame that it took so long To rescue me From the guilt you used To tie me to your family tree I guess your training failed You're not in charge, I'm free Your patriarchal prison won't hold me Now this conversation's finally over Mirror Mirror, now we're done I've pulled myself together now My mind and heart are one Finally one! I'm not your pet Not another thing you own I was not born guilty of your crimes Your riches and your influence Can't hold me anymore I won't be possessed Burdened by your royal test I will not surrender This life is mine!

    oh also fun title facts if something is calcined, it is exposed to flame or heat in a process that purifies or desiccates it. if something is cauterized, it is typically organic matter burned for the purpose of long-term recovery and healing.

    Really excellent work. The harmony in particular, the use of upper structure while still remaining within the A minor diatonic framework, gives it that sense of simultaneous emotional complexity and innocent simplicity. I hope you find it in yourself to do more of these sorts of compositions, because you’re obviously quite skilled at this.

    Heh, I suppose we've all got to get "in our feels" for Penny sooner or later. I absolutely loved this btw! During this entire run through, I got chilling flashbacks to V7E7 (after the massacre, and before Robyn and the others had their heist). I loved your usage of pianos and strings, to really give that "Alex A. charm". We need more content like this, and while I've tried to capture that very essence myself, it seems like you nailed it! Id love to see you tackle an Oscar track, or maybe even one for Cinder (considering they both got a lot of score development in Volume 8, as far as leitmotifs and ideas). Wonderful work!

      @@cr1ticalfailure well, the Cello vst is the Tina Guo Legato bundle (which I warn, is pretty expensive). The other orchestral VST's I use range from Spitfire's Labs, Original's, and BBC Symphony Orchestra. The choir patches (which, if you haven't seen Alex's vids on it), come from VOXOS (a choir vst that comes with a built-in phrase builder). On another note, since you seem rather in tune with the show's score and leitmotifs, I'd like to perhaps share some ideas/ collaborate with you on some new stuff, if you're willing, of course. 😁😊
