The thing that i love about MS first party games its that they always do this behind the music for the games, as i musician its fascinating and i love it

So he can't even play the instruments and either used auto tune or stretched the sound. Okay I'm sure every musician is impressed 😂😂😂😂👍👍👍👏👏😂😂😂

[@falcongamer58]

Killing Stars overreaction won't work, he's a genius, if the stretched sound doesn't work he tries another one or composes his own sound, and there are musicians in the studio he doesn't do everything on his own

[@thatsteampunkguy6528]

Interesting enough. Yes the Hurdy Gurdy was played durring the Pirate age it was made possibly durring the Medieval age or even before that. So that inatrument has made a long journey without evolving into something better than that which is interesting because when you look at piano there is also the keyboard and other types of pianos. Hurdy Gurdy is not crazy in numbers of variations.

[@leaffaerie]

the hurdy gurdy actually originated in France during the 14th century if i remember correctly ! towards the end of the middle ages, perfectly timed to get some good pirate tunes :)
