It is done, all two previews of it; the next and surely final project of Eirynhart Studios, [TITLE_REMOVED]. While the album is not complete in a span of five days, the next project is now available to be announced for the coincidence of my current (but not yet announced) project.

[TITLE_REMOVED] is a sequel to [ENTRY_REMOVED], released earlier this year. Since two versions of that album were not enough, I needed a third. [TITLE_REMOVED] mixes both orchestral and synthetic versions of [ENTRY_REMOVED] into one amazing album with no new content but full intended price; much like current pop music.

All jokes aside, the actual album to be announced is New Folder, an electronic album with far too many synths and other such effects, such as dance-beat drums. This album will have 10-12 tracks using a large variety of synthetic instruments and effects. The expected runtime of the album is 1759-2401 seconds (29 minutes and 59 seconds to 40 minutes and 1 second). This is not to be taken with a grain of sand, salt, or other small grainy substances, as only three tracks for the album are complete as of this time (and have a run time of roughly twelve minutes).

New Folder will be much more lighthearted than a secret project not yet announced, and the darkness of Laughter. However, as stated earlier, it will use a very, very different style than anything else I have made thus far. Well, it might be similar to [ENTRY_REMOVED], in a sense, but it will still be different enough. It will not, under any circumstances, reference any other part of popular culture through any intentional means.

That concludes this article, since little else can be said on the subject as so little has been determined about it.

(30-10-2013) – Thirteen

What’s this? What’s this? There’s an unannounced album appearing in the newspaper! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!

Alright, sarcasm.exe has been temporarily suspended. But yes, this is another Halloween/Horror themed musical album, so if you are looking for your ponies and unicorns, turn back now; this is Halloween, and all such manners of bright fun are suspended in exchange for dark humor and twisted laughs.

Thirteen is the unannounced project that sends the nightfall of fright back through the chords of stringed instruments, distorted to have an “old timey” sound effect on occasion. I have moved away from the use of “scare sounds” such as high-reverb laughter and weather effects (although lightning may still be utilized in some pieces), and focused more on the unnerving sounds created by the instruments, their effects, and their melodies. This album, as any album created by me, does not reflect the opinions of the Knightly Scroll. They don’t want to be associated with “darkness”, and I can see why, although this album is really just made in celebration of Halloween, so I think it’s justified.

So, without further description, the following section discusses each track in a bit more detail.

1. Deciduous Street: For those of you who do not know, Elm trees are a form of deciduous tree, so the title is a disguised reference to the Nightmare on Elm Street. Piano arpeggios are used to provide pace to this piece, while cellos, violins, and clarinets clash to create rising tension.
2. Friday: It’s Friday, Friday, and we’re all going to find that one fool wearing a Hockey mask and wielding a machete. Anyway, that explains the title. The rising tension of echoing drums, a Piano with deep reverb, and eventually the additions of an Organ and Cello cause this piece to be unnerving. It might, shock you, or disturb you. Which would be perfect since this was still made for the fun of Halloween. It is certainly a fitting background piece for any twisted intentions you may have on Halloween…
3. In The Hall: Last year we had holes in the walls, and creepy hallways. This year, we have halls ruled by the power of darkness. This is a bit more “grand” than the other tracks in this album, as it utilizes some brass and larger choirs, but it still uses a good combination of notes to keep the piece dark and, for lack of a better word, menacing.
4. A Walk at Night: Imagine the atmosphere; a faint mist settling in the near pitch-black night as you walk through a forest. Every sound has you on edge, you almost feel as though you’re being followed. That, my friends, is the intended setting for this piece. Led by slow repetitions of a simple piano melody that gradually rises in pitch, aided by deep strings and faint noises, this piece is sure to set a dark atmosphere for any day. Well, except maybe on Christmas Eve.
5. Surrender: In all seriousness, this piece intends for you to surrender to the might of shadows, rather than defy them. This is of course not meant to advocate any acts that I would personally deem “stupid”, but it is simply to describe the scene in which this piece of music would be well suited. The piece uses, as always here, a Piano, Cello, and Violin. A Brass section and orchestral chimes also aid this.
6. No Respite: Another dark, ambient piece. This one, however, chooses to start off more peacefully, and then descend into a more chaotic melody led by the might of an Organ, thunderbolts (and lightning), staccato violence (I mean Violins), and a Piano, of course. Still using this instrument set, which is fine since it is highly versatile.
7. All Will Be One: I am not, contrary to popular belief, Halcon. Nor am I quoting Optimus Prime incorrectly. I am neither part of the crew nor part of the ship, and I am not one of you. However, all ridiculous cults require some form of chant, so this is a form of “parody” or “tribute” to cultist chants. No, there are not any lyrics. You are just hearing things, since I do not possess an $800 choir generator that actually lets you give it lyrics (in some form).
8. Fate: Fate, it would seem, finds its darn way into everything, despite having no scientific evidence for its existence. Anyhow, it would be appropriate to assume that the individual whom this piece is about has a relatively dark fate, and that it would suit a horror movie well. This piece uses strings, choir, an organ, and a piano as primary instruments, and a gunshot noise to end.
9. Abyss: Just stare into it a little longer; I promise you’ll see it… Or maybe you won’t. Maybe the abyss will just absorb your soul, and leave you as a lifeless shell. This piece is, again, an ambient track designed to unease the listener. However, it is done differently than the others, since it uses orchestral crescendos as scare sounds, rather than drums, lightening, or laughter.
10. Silence:  Well, if it was actually silence, there wouldn’t be much of a reason for me to make it a published piece of music, now would there? However, just play this this very ambient track when you’re alone at night with the lights off. I promise it’s not too scary. While the piece does feature pretty much the same instrument set as any other song in the album, this piece focuses a little more on the use of bells and chimes rather than a piano.
11. Cursed Canvas: Also called CC, or Crowd Control, this track is best listened to while looking at creepy paintings in an art gallery. You could also listen to it while painting a picture, but that may result in the creation of a Cursed Canvas. Regardless of various jokes about the title, this piece does a good job of creating a large buildup to a rather suspenseful ending, mostly through use of a piano melody, rising note progression, and other similar mechanics.
12. Twelve Chimes: This references nothing, but has a distinct sound that only occurs twelve times in the total run time of this piece. Between each distinct sound is a melody that gradually increases in intensity and complexity with each distinct sound. Most of the complexity added to the melody is done through layering of different parts. However, after the twelfth distinct sound, the piece fades out led by strings continuing the melody from the start. This piece is not as creepy as some of the others.
13. Thirteen: “No, I am not getting out of bed today. Not on Monday the 13^th.” – Garfield. This track is actually made to reference the “unlucky” number “13”, and possibly a movie with the same number in its title. Anyhow, this track is amazing, since it has a Piano, Cello, Violin, and Organ. So go listen to it. Now.

Unfortunately for you, I decided to hold this album back and only release part of it for free. This means that I intend to make a small profit from this album, although I will give you half of my favorites from the album, coupled with my least favorite tracks, for free on my drive folder. The rest of the album has to be purchased, for some odd reason or another. Look at it this way: the free portion has the same number of tracks as my previous Halloween album, made with much higher quality and a different overall sound.
