Hello everyone!

As many people have noticed, there isn't anything in the way of rock music in this world. So my friend Crow and I have been working on synthesizing the sound of rock music instruments using audio illusions using classical instruments and memory. And I'm happy to say, I think we've pulled off!

So I'm here to present the first rock style song in Aefenglom: Unfathomed Force!

Unfortunately, the process of creating a new song with audio illusions takes a long time, not everyone can learn how to do it, and honestly the quality will never be as good as having it played from a real band.

So I was wondering if there was any people out there interested in reverse engineering instruments that make rock music sound. I can help with giving isolated instrument sounds and tell you everything I know about specs, but I'll admit I'm not exactly an instrument maker. So I can't say it'll be easy. But...seeing how many worlds rock music has reached, I think it'd be a really worthwhile project.

Thanks everyone!

Oh! This sounds really cool! You guys did a great job!

That reminds me though— I met one of the other musicians at the Masquerade. His name was Wataru. He said that he crafts violins. I wonder if he might be able to help in some way.

Thanks Towa!

Oh yeah I remember Wataru! It was fun playing with him. I didn't know he made violins though. That's a serious skill!

[overworker]

As a fan, I’m seriously impressed with both of you. What you did takes a lot of skill too.

We kind of talked about it in passing, but I thought it might help. It’s not every day you meet someone who can do something like that after all.

Right on!!

Thanks again for all the help. There's no way I could've done this alone.

I look forward to the thrusting hip moves on stage, Elliot.

Huh?

[He don't get it. What is Elvis.]

[fordeath]

It's in the spirit of rock and roll to get up and move to the rhythm!

Oh, have you heard of headbanging?

That's... amazing. Very breath-taking. You and your friend have produced something incredible using magic.

[fiddlestick]

Thank you Wataru! I have to admit, I'm pretty proud.

Though...a little bird told me you make violins. Is that true?

[kivatteru]

That'd be correct. I craft and repair violins, though so far I don't have much material to carry on with myt work here.

Speaking of which, I would like to help you with your project if there's any way I can.

What instruments? They don’t sound like anything I’ve heard. Much less the type.

[Well he can pick up on those pleased feelings. It reminds him of when he first heard rock music]

Hehe, it's a really unique sound, right?

Rock uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, vocals, and sometimes keyboards. Violins can also be used to create a rock sound, but I admit that's not as common.

What do the first two look like?

I don't know how useful this is, but I can play and sing most of the Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks back catalogue on the cello. And I have one.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, well I can't say I'm familiar with Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks, but if they're popular rock artists ... maybe we can work on recreating and recording their music.

[trouvaille]

They straddled genres fairly uniquely. I can always do it on my own, if it's not really the style you're looking for, but teaching people to play modern music on classic instruments is kind of relevant to my background.

[Oh. Oh. Marie is ready for the mosh pit]

I cannot help with instrument making (you might ask Wataru but it looks like you have already contacted him) but I am already a fan of you and cannot wait to hear more!

[And maybe one day sing in your rock band]

[fiddlestick]

[Marie pls]

Yeah, I'm looking forward to working with him!

Thanks Marie! I'm glad you like it.

[Being from mostly fantasy land...Chandra, who is basically punk rock incarnate, has sadly never been exposed to anything like this.]

I've never heard anything like it. That's incredible.

[fiddlestick]

Thank you!

Rock really has its own special kind of energy to it. It's really good at getting your blood pumping.

[beariot]

This is really amazing! The fact you were able to create this sort of sound through magical synthesis shows a true skill in both music and magic! I can hardly believe what I'm hearing!

[fiddlestick]

Thanks Ursula! I'll admit it took some work to get the pitches and sounds right. I really hope we can find a way to build the instruments to make it...much easier to make.
