The Message
Liner Notes
#oraclechallenge #choir
From @writeandwrong's thread here: https://write.fawm.org/forums/2895
I got card 45, "Message".
I auditioned a couple of my choir sample libraries and settled on this one from 8dio, the Silka Choir. The rest was just staring at the card while letting my fingers decide where to go on the keys.

Soft and gentle work, pairs with the image as the wings take flight.

Sounds like a choir in a large cathedral during some solemn church service, but missing the choirboys! A lovely piece of orchestral spaciousness.

There is something both beautiful and haunting about this song. I enjoyed every second of this, and I'm curious about your process after hearing this one. Big fan of this song, I love almost everything with a choir. Message received! 🐸

Gorgeous. No more words needed.

Wow!! This is fantastic!! I can almost picture the scene in a movie with the image above and the haunting Old-Earth music/message coming through strongly. Awesome job with the challenge! Thank you for participating!

Both a spooky and serene message, it seems to me. Love it.

What’s that bird reading? Is he a pirate? A politician? Freaky a$$ bird.
You’re such a talent, dude. This was a very stirring piece. I’m hanging on every note !

That's a rather lovely sound. And whatever the message is, it doesn't sound like it's going to be good news...

Ooh, that sounds lush. Are you reversing the samples at the 1:00 and 2:00 mark or so? That, and some nice dissonance as this develops, makes me think that the titular message might not be everything the recipient hopes it's going to be. Indeed, that it might be rather more... eldritch.
Splendid stuff!
