"And My Runeaxe" is a solo musician project, creating heroic dwarf metal music. All the instrumentals in "And My Runeaxe" are synthesized with Propellerheads Reason 4 software. In this blog, new tracks and tips on metal synthesis are published. Current musical influences are from folk/death metal, the Warhammer Fantasy Battle Dwarf army and lore, and Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning.
Here is a sample of what I've been working on in Reason 4 so far, let me know what everyone thinks :)
I know theres some mixing, EQ, and compression I need to fix, but it will hopefully be fixed in the next revision.
Drop.io looks like a sick way of letting me embed audio for blog format. The only thing that bugs me about it now is that it auto-loads itself, using up unnecessary bandwidth if a reader decides not to play it.
As my first post, I really want to share my first track in the work. As of yet, I need to find a suitable location to store these files. In the near future, I also want to share my synthesized heavy electric guitar patches I use in Reason 4. Right now, just dealing with bass drum compression/EQ headaches for the track, but I might as well skip them for now :p
For those who need to hear something in the meantime, my old works are available in a lighter genres http://pirate.deftvibe.com/
I want to assure you all, that "And My Runeaxe" will be more heavier and darker in sound than my older "Legendary Pirate" works.
Stay posted for the first track's updates and synth patches!
The composer behind the Legendary Pirate, Crusader Shield and And My Runeaxe aliases, has produced audio works of varying genres. Currently working on the And My Runeaxe project. The main tools of trade are Propellerheads Reason 4, a Line 6 TonePort KB37, and a Roland AX-7 keytar.
