#oud playing

After a long ass thyme, trials tribulations and new instruments, I'm finally back into making musical shenanigans posts!! Now, musical shenanigans are when i imagine IF characters as music, I compose it and I play it.

Now this time I'm back with something exciting, I play oud now!! If you don't know what oud is check the description out right here. Music-wise a oud doesn't have frets and has quarter notes, for between a natural note and a flat. playing notes you cannot play on most stringed instruments, that being said might redo some of the characters I covered before just because oud opened up a lot of experimental space.

Now onto the important stuffs, if you don't know what project hadea is you're missing out big time, go check it out right here!

Without any further ado, here's the mess I came up with:

Nash:

"some of their tactical brilliance has probably rubbed off on you - and some of your impulsiveness on them"

I decided to use/highlight the element of impulsiveness and decided to compose as my hand plays the oud, without much planning, and this is what my brain came up with, I'm honestly very happy with it, would defo play that progression again.

Imxa:

"you’ll have to work hard to impress her"

I decided to play the first thing I ever composed on the oud, since (for me at least) it symbolizes just that, working hard to impress (myself, if no one else) and starting at some point, we all started somewhere after all.
