New Ambience: Cutpurse Pursuit

Added 2021-12-22 19:14:27 +0000 UTC

Greetings Patrons,

I had the hardest time coming up with a title for this track. I knew it was going to be set in a medium-sized medieval city, and I knew that the instrumentation was going to be a mix of hurdy-gurdy, viola da gamba, guitar, and modern orchestral instruments. But that was about it.

As the piece began to take shape I started thinking that it was about a character wandering through neighborhoods, much in the way that I do, here in Brooklyn. After more passes and too many edits, I began to see my character as a bit of a scamp, possibly no more than a child. The word 'cutpurse' came after I felt that 'thief' was a bit harsh.

There's a bit of action, a bit of skulking about, and a bit of loneliness here. I've included ambience-only, and music-only versions of the track here for patrons. The ambience track is a medieval city, so that should be useful in a lot of stories. The mixed version is also included here as it won't be on the website for a few days.

The holidays are just around the corner, so I'm not sure if I'll be able to fit in a final track for 2021, If my family will allow it, I will!

One final thing, the Cthulhu SoundPad is now live, and all the sounds have been added to the Custom SoundPad. Foundry users should also see the new Cthulhu content there.

Thank you all, as always, for your continuing support. I couldn't do any of this without your help.

Best,

Tim
