Miracle of Sound: His Father's Son (Assassin's Creed III)

[MiracleOfSound]

Ha, ha, ha...very funny. Listening to the song again there are two notes he sings. The one high and the one low. So, not a lot of variation. The indian-esque chanting is a gimmick, and not particularly well done. Listen, this is just my personal opinion: I just don't think this guy doing Miracle of Sound is very good. He is way too mechanical to make me want to listen to him more than occasionally. To me he sounds boring. There's no emotion, there are no high or low points. There's just...a little variation between a high and low note, which does not excite me enough to elicit an honest-to-God emotion. And without that his music is meaningless to me.

Well this is an interesting one.

Regarding the Native American (they're not actually called 'indians') chanting - a lot of research went into making sure it was authentic and not a gimmick. It's a Mohawk chant named 'Rabbit Dance' and is, in my opinion, fitting in a song about a Mohawk warrior with strong ideals about his culture and people.

Regarding the 'two notes'... the lowest note in this song is a low E and the highest is G an octave above. So technically the melody spans across 17 notes.

Regarding you not liking it... that's perfectly fine

I know a bunch of people have said this before already, but the chanting part was awesome. Love it!

Have to say Gav, you've really created something special here. I am so glad that of all the things you could make a song about this game, you made it about my favourite part: the relationship between Connor and Haytham. Not only that, but the song captured the feel of Connor's background perfectly, from the Indian chanting, the revolutionary war marching drums/ pipes, the British sailor feel with the rhythm and bagpipes, it all just melded together beautifully.

The reprisal of the Blood of the Creed section was great too, as it showed that, despite the conflict Connor feels earlier on in the song between his father's culture, his mother's culture, and the Revolutionary American Army, that his ultimate allegiances lie with the assassins, and that is what prevails at the end of the song.

Well done Gav, this was a hell of a great song.

I cannot tell you how glad it makes me when people have such a great grasp on the songs and how much work goes into the structures & why everything is where it is

Yeah Gav, this song was great! The Native American chanting, the sea shanty rhythm, and the military-style drumming all mixed perfectly to capture the sounds of those days, and that call-back to Brothers of the Creed was spot on! Furthermore, I noticed the bond between Haytham and Connor Kenway echoes down to William and Desmond Miles. I'm a little surprised you didn't include clips of them in the present. But otherwise, great job!
