So I was listening to the new Warframe Isleweaver soundtrack, and this song in particular REALLY caught me.

We dont currently have any instances of violin/viola that I can think of in warframes sound track that are that prevalent, and I was like, hmm. It uses Duviri's/the drifter's theme, but not in the regular way, and other than that its all over the place, its Kinda... lacking in regulation. It's highs and lows and oh my god its Thrax, isnt it.

Anyway. Now there's an image in my head of Thrax playing what I'm currently thinking of as a 5 string violin/viola combo that'd cover the whole register here, and atm I'm oscillating btween violinthi and vilthiari

(Vinthiri? Vilitha? vilithis? Violiri? Viliri? Violara? its gotta sound similar to how it would sound to play, while keeping the vi bit.)

#I cannot get over the themes of Duviri getting slowly overrun/corrupted by the murmur's chanting/beats and only starting to get its foothold #back from the edge of straight up desperation and panic once the more electric thumping beat thats used for our main universe is brought in #Like #He was truly #truly desperate #and the only reason why all of duviri didn't fall/why thrax himself wasnt corrupted was because he had us to turn to for help #The music in this game never ceases to absolutely floor me #the use of themes and everything is so insanely purposeful and brilliant #every song makes me wanna listen because I have been proved right time and time again that my trust in being able to read into it #is actually warranted.#warframe #warframe isleweaver #Bandcamp #Also #for duviri naming conventions what I've found through a bit of surface analysis is that every word is made in line with duviri's music them #Hard syllables that are used like hard syllables are more or less reserved for beginnings and endings of words exclusively #and everything in the middle tends to shy away from more complex/long vowel sounds in favor of shorter #snappier #versions #And each simple vowel of either upwards or downwards tilt is mediated via more neutral consonants which creates the rhythm youll hear #If it doesnt bring the tone back to the middle its usually because the next vowel is of the same curve #in which case it sort of bridges those two like a cursive r might #Acrithis for example is a slight downwards #then two sharp upwards syllables not quite dragged back down to neutral due to the th letting one I's curve to lift the second up as well #Thrax is a bit of an exception which I find interesting #bombastine works perfectly #You can tell shawzins didnt come from duviri specifically because the use of the awz creates way too complex of a sound on the a #Duviri word segments are sharp and distinct in a way that doesnt weight any one part of the word #imo #its all evenly powerful across the sound
