Simon Swerwer - Kobold March

[@midgetdwarf3001]

I was listening to the soundsense playlist while playing dwarf fortress, and my fortress was being slaughtered by a necrowizard vampire, I felt so inspired to die when this came on

[@aspectradient9567]

Great stuff! So very very underrated, I need to share this with my friends. "Where my Kobold bards at??"

[@Sarimaximus]

This is the exact song I think of whenever I think of playing modded Dwarf Fortress. it's such an iconic and memorable song, and I freaking love it!

[@void-1632]

The kobolds do be marching though

[@grantaum9677]

@Qimodis that's a bit insensitive no?

[@fawn4348]

@Qimodis 'Twas a tad bit fucking rude of you, my good sir.

[@ianshorter2712]

normie is normie

[@ostlandr]

"The Kobolds march on two by two, haroon, haroon. . ."

[@commanderboreal1343]

I think this is my favorite song from Simon Swerver... it’s hard to choose but if I’ve got to put my finger on one definitively it’s got to be Kobold March. That whistling always gets me.. I love it!!

[@killingfeveronline_archives]

Hoping the steam release gets more of your legacy tracks, or at least the mod support for custom music gets expanded so we can add your legacy tracks as mods! I love his track a lot😁 it accompanied a lot of my adventure mode travels

[@namvart]

this song is a damn banger

[@newtnuke9054]

A stalwart march to a fate unknown to many, but maybe salvation to few.

[@beanny39]

Thanks for the uploads.

[@RobustTheoryGaming]

Great to hear you may be releasing new tracks this year, looking forward to hearing them!

[@underarmbowlingincidentof1981]

oh the whistling is so magical in this one !!

[@caffeinefueledraccoon5687]

Damn.. they be marching quite damn nice!!

[@entropic-decay]

Currently playing a fort using Intro's Kobold Civ mod, can't help but imagine this playing when I send my soldiers off to fight the nearby goblins edit: I also have another mod of my own making active that allows for the full taming of giant cave spiders, as well as their use as mounts and training for use in war. So it's accurate to imagine some of my kobolds riding into battle on the backs of those

[@borakaan5864]

Absolutely this is my favourite song from your album.

[@Cernunnas]

Boy oh boy, I love this stuff. So good omg!!!

[@MikoGot]

THANK YOU! You sir, are amazing!

[@lazrustosadow5880]

I love listening to your music while studying

[@rachdarastrix5251]

The top of that hill will be a great place to put a garden.

[@uppindown8466]

This sounds so grand and mysterious I love it

[@Kwazzaaap]

Yours is the type of music that makes me wish I had better headphones

[@kenshinbenshin1471]

Love this song, recently one of my faves of yours :D

[@xenu4life]

More tracks? Awesome!

[@nicholaswhitman4620]

Anyone know what genre Simon is playing I love the like bluegrass without the twanginess of it

[@murrmakesstuff9269]

I'd say this one is sort of flamenco combined with cowboy type music

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

I'd say it's medieval folk, with touches of spanish folk (spanish guitar strumming is very recognizable, and I'm spanish so I know what I'm talking about) and american folk/bluegrass.

[@HBon111]

This is my favourite one of yours. :)

[@lukemacinnes5124]

Are there tabs any where?

[@YumiS4iR4]

we really need a midi version of this

[@korkad_]

Damnit youtube, I didn't even see this in my sub feed >:[

[@doopydoopz1737]

Not gonna lie, this sounds like it could fit right into Rimworld

[@Victus_Mortuus]

It's in a music mod for it, it fits great.

[@doopydoopz1737]

@@Victus_Mortuus shoot, I might install that then

[@enriquejoseantequerasanche6180]

Rimworld was, after all, inspired by Dwarf Fortress. Of course they share a similar vibe.

[@juanandresmendezmartinez8024]

Just a dumb thought, but the fact of the kobolds speaking in only utterances and how there's just whistling and a "Hugh!" in the song is just too much for me...

[@doomderp]

where they going? doesnt matter

[@DragDenDFO]

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought it was a Dragon :)

[@pantognost]

It'd be interesting to know how the compositional inspiration for this came along. It has oriental progressions but it mostly inspires (chords only, not the orchestration) Asia minor folk music of early 20th century. There are "rebetiko" songs of Asia minor that include a lot of your fills but they do it with buzuki or with lute. You go back to your blues, bluegrass roots in the main spirit of the composition but it is interesting how much you shift to the traditional/folk eastern roads. Interesting to know if you have any experience with these things.

[@SimonSwerwer]

Hehe, not sure what to tell you tbh. I incidentally found my playlist from around that time the other day and there's a lot of The Shadows, The Beatles, Steeleye Span and Ralph Vaughan Williams' A Sea Symphony (??) - all quite western. I guess I've always liked to listen wide, but I'm not familiar with rebetiko songs or any specific oriental progressions.

BY JOVE

[@HalfBakedHeroes]

not a single dislike for 3 years. Wow.

[@ProfessorLemur]

Well done.

[@redivaekizdeh1479]

There are no longer dislikes. So is sadly fixed.

[@MouseFGC]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@VryeStudent]

EK WIL JOU KINDERS HÊ!

[@LunaMoonwing]

nee fok man

[@voxlknight2155]

I don't know about you, but kobolds usually don't march in my worlds. Scamper, scadaddle and skulk, yes, but not march... Goblins, on the other hand... Yeah, might be case of mistranslation or something, sounds more gobliny to me.

[@GalileoAV]

NICEEEEEEEE

[@Loromir17]

Sounds pretty Greek ...or Spanish

[@Wolf93]

Yeah, I agree on Spanish, probably because of the guitar.

[@infamedepatates2502]

Sounds to me more Western-inspired with the whistling and such

[@MrGman590]

It sounds more Viking to me, just going by the overall vibe it has.

[@ub3rfr3nzy94]

Sounds totally Greek to me. Other parts sound Spanish. It's like a mix of the two. I'm Greek and Spanish so I quite like it lol.
