Vikings Of Valhalla  2019 by Helge Kvalheim aka HKvalhe
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vikings Of Valhalla is a 6-channel pure Amiga Viking influenced
track and the FIFTH for my Samplicity collection of 13 great Amiga
mods, all composed by me - Helge Kvalheim of Bergen City of Norway,
using my AmigaOne 500 aka SAM460ex and OctaMED SoundStudio v1.03c,
along with 16-bit stereo samples from Walkabout Music Samples collection.

This Amiga track is unique and interesting. It gives an impression of an
upcoming
Viking battle or rather the approach of the vikings to their homestead. which is
Valhalla.

Took me a couple of days to sit down and work through this special Amiga track.
As you should know, Viking music is not easy to make, and actually there was
next to
no proper information of what is typical of Viking music from the Viking era.

But what is known is that Viking music mostly steams from a mixture of a march
and
Nordic folk music. The motion of a Viking song can be everything from aggressive
to 
a happy folk dance, or a sad song. Typical instruments used for a Viking song is
deep
and heavy drums, similar to a march rhythm, and different flute organs, as I
understand.

This might not be the most interesting thing you've heard, but it gives a
realistic listening
of what a typical Viking track really is. I hope you'll might enjoy it. I myself
find it interesting.

Thank you all for your support. The track is a 6-channel one and should easily
be played on
any accelerated Amiga with some Fast Ram. The more powerful and modern your
Amiga is,
the better the quality it will be. I suppose that speaks for itself. A native
Classic Amiga can
do a lot of wonder only by using the 14-bit mode of the Paula chip, which I
recommend,
unless you have an AHI-compatible sound card. Enjoy!
