THE CLONE WARS STRING QUARTET PROJECT

Hello there!

So I'm doing this very much on a whim (like I thought about this literally an hour ago akfkljsakdfjlasd), but I figured I might as well give this a try and I think it would be fun.

So, as some of you know, I'm a violinist and violist. I participate in a GSO, or a community orchestra that performs video game music that's arranged by our members. From my experience over there for the past few years, I really wanted to try arranging on my own. I'm still very much a baby arranger and am really only comfortable with chamber music with a heavy emphasis on strings so uh.

Anyways.

I arranged a few string quartets over the past few months/years, and one of my absolute favorite ones I've done recently is a little medley for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I adore it so much that I want to try to bring it to life.

So that's what I'm going to do.

I AM LOOKING FOR...

Musicians! More specifically, anyone in the TCW fandom who plays violin, viola, or cello who is comfortable with recording to a click track and sharing that back with me.

People familiar with audio mixing! I admittedly know pretty much nothing about this. Since this is a string quartet, I'm imagining this part won't be extremely complicated, but again, I know nothing about this and would rather get someone involved in the project who is familiar with it.

Maybe even someone who wants to make visuals to go with it? That's more optional but. YEAH. THE MORE THE MERRIER.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE

Reach out to me either here on tumblr or on Discord (I have the same username there). Let me know how you're interested in participating, and I'll send you the necessary materials.

I need to emphasize how much of this I'm doing on a whim. Like I don't know for sure that it'll work out, but I really wanna try and I think it would be a lot of fun to do something fandom-related that's exploring a different side of my creativity :)

Thank you, and MTFBWY!

Not certain yet if this will end up in the game, but here's a contemporary classical-style waltz I wrote!

[sheepsweep]

My first couple of songs made in Beepbox :} just short little string quartet arrangements because I wanted to stick to an ensemble I'm comfortable with!

The first one is more to demonstrate the motive, and the second is more of a waltz arrangement in three. It was so fun to think about what I like playing myself and to imagine how the quartet members would communicate phrases and etc. with each other :)

I found the beepbox string quartet timbres to be a bit bright for my taste. I'd love to try messing with them later to get a warmer sound, and also maybe practice mixing/mastering a bit at some point? There's lots to learn that's for sure!

je serre ton cher souvenir dans cette image où je te sens nous dire adieu

ta perte qui n’a pas encore trouvé sa terre

here's some old work for funsies..like 4 years old... but it still goes. moltke and his all goth all transgender string quartet :^) they mostly play funerals

the fun part is that they're all monsters except for him and he doesn't know it. he seems to attract them.....

thanh is a merperson, chrys is a moth creature (my idea is that mothman is actually a mothwoman and has many many children), and marsailidh is a ghost light (a helpful one. she will lead you AWAY from your death not towards it)
