So I went to Ireland over the summer. It was a really great experience and one I’ll remember fondly for a long time.<\/p>\n
While I was travelling on a bus tour through the mountains, this simple melody came to my mind, so I spent a while working on it. I mulled it over for several months, though, because no matter what I tried to do with it, it just didn’t sound right. I simply don’t have MIDI soundfonts that are good enough to capture the sound I was going for. It’s also compositionally lacking, but I gotta tell you, I got nothin’.<\/p>\n
So I’m just gonna release it as-is, and if I figure out a way of updating it later on I’ll let you know. It’s called “An Sl\u00e9ibhte na h\u00c9ireann” which literally means “the mountains of Ireland.”<\/p>\n
Fun fact, though, those of you that listened to “Searching for Sight” will recognize the main motif. I quoted it in “Searching” as one of the related “themes” I was mashing together. (I wrote this before Searching for Sight.)<\/p>\n
