A Song on a Lute

This is a song without a long history, but it does have a history: it's from a 1990s video game called The Elder Scrolls: Arena, but was included in 2011's The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim as well. Skyrim, like the Conan movie of a few posts back, paid a real composer to produce a real score. This piece isn't part of that score, though, just an acoustic update of a tinny version written for early 1990s IBM PC sound cards. It's a surprisingly nice piece of music, considering.



The full soundtrack (which doesn't include this piece, but the true compositions) is here. Some of it is extraordinary.

I played a little of Morrowind and skyrim, although not to the extent of an internet meme.

The combat system was not as interesting as Dishonored and Kingdom Come.

The short film is available on youtube probably. It was good. Triggered a few pre sentiments of a memory.
