Fool's Court

Fool's Court

Submitted By Christian Cosas (csquared)

Description

(Formerly Symphonic Variations, No. 2 and Variations Simplified)

This is actually a pair of similarly composed soundsets. Fool's Court Symphonic is an orchestral soundset, while Fool's Court Simplified strips the melodies down to their bare essentials in a vibraphone arrangement. Each one used to be available under its own separate heading, but I decided to combine them since they're encoded with AAC (128 kbps) and small enough to fit into one archive.

The melodic motif I used is built around the musical interval of a 9th, and it's got kind of a playful sound.

This soundset collection, like my others, is a compositional experiment for me. I've designed this set to express a unified musical idea while also remaining simple and functional. Many other soundsets (including the official AIM and MSN alerts) merely resort to using basic major triads and consonant intervals like a perfect fifth or fourth. I wanted to develop something with a little more sophisticated music theory, incorporating dissonances and suspensions.

The sounds activate on the following events: Connect, Disconnect, Contact Sign On, Contact Sign Off, New Message Received, Message Sent, Message Received, and Error.
