Recently started playing a new instrument, the bowed psaltery, so of course one of the first songs I learn to play on it is The Iron Hills For Me!  Composed by the ever lovely @determamfidd and myself, for dets’s magnificent story Sansûkh.

WHOA that is so – whoa, that is so beautiful and melancholy and eerie and clear and crystalline – WOW, I LOVE IT OMFG 

Dang, Nota! You Magic Musician you! That is so awesome, gaaaah – I gotta learn more about the bowed psaltery now, I gotta write something for it!

Hey, do you know if the Sansukh orchestra is still a thing?

determamfidd:

not so much, I don’t think! It was a Thing, but now it’s not. I’m up for playing violin if anyone else would like to crack open their instrument case and have a bash?

The Choir is still most definitely a Thing, though! @notanightlight is our fab musical director for the podfic, and she’s the person to contact if you’re into playing/singing stuff for Sansukh!

(also omfg that made my heart kerflop and kerthud, just writing that – EEEE!)

Whenever there is a song for the podfic that requires an ensemble, i will send out the word on the Sansûkh Podfic tumblr with the voice parts and instructions for either sending in a recording for a large group piece, or audition for smaller ensembles.

And I’m so excited! The first song featuring the Sansûkh Choir is coming out in Chapter 5!!!

aaaaah ty Nota – here you go, Nonnie!

(fyi also, I have already written a purely instrumental piece and recorded it on my violin. It appears in Chapter 42 – yep, the very next one! IT V BOUNCY.)

notanightlight:

My Gimrís tea came today! (Based off of the character from @determamfidd’s story Sansûkh and purchased from Adagio teas).

I am so excited to taste a tea based on a character I voice! I’ll let you know how it goes!

!!! I BOUGHT ALL OF THEM THEY HAVEN’T ARRIVED YET BC I AM ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DIRTBALL

I AM SO EXCITED YOU GOT NO IDEA, I HOPE IT IS AS LOVELY AND SWEET AND BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE

I was driving around yesterday and this song popped into my head. So I’m going to share it again.

Lead vocals: @notanightlight (who also wrote the original melody & lyrics!)

Alto harmony: @flukeoffate

Cello: @the-dragongirl

Soprano descant: @aviva0017

Clarinet: me

Violin: @determamfidd

Please enjoy the music, and if you’re inclined, add your own bit.

A dwarfsona commission for the lovely @notanightlight, who I cannot thank enough for being so patient with me.

Nota, I gotta say (and please don’t think this is weird) you have a-MAY-zing lips. They were so fun to draw. I also thought I might experiment a bit and gave you a fish-tail braid. I think it gives you a very unique look; I think it looks pretty damn dandy.

I also included a Singer’s Stud in your lip, which is a headcanon that I borrowed from the awesome @determamfidd (though you probably know that already) that denotes a Master Singer (which, you are).

I really hope you like this, and thank you so much for commissioning me!

AHHH SO BOOTIFUL

So, this is a thing initially composed by the lovely @notanightlight! It is a traveling song. Everyone adds a thing to it!

So far it has passed through the talented hands of @aviva0017, @the-dragongirl, @flukeoffate and @lisafer… and now it is my turn! I am the fiddle player 🙂 I hope you enjoy, it is a gorgeous tune!
