Pamtseo nìNa'vi ni'aw CD

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 04, 2011, 11:46:36 AM

Oel ayngati kameie, ma tsmukan sì tsmuke!

I'm no good singer, so I decided to compile some of the best songs here, normalize and enhance them, and then put them on a CD. Do you have any suggestions for songs NOT on the LN member created song list? Here is the front cover:

The list of songs:
1. Txon Amawey
2. Fpoma Samsiyu
3. Tutan Akoak
4. Song about the Story of "Avatar"
5. Oeru Ngal Polawm
6. Steyki
7. Tìyawnìl Tìsraw Seyki

Any suggestions?

Wow, sounds like a good idea!

If I understood correctly, you're proposing the idea of a "real" CD (in the sense of a palpable object), with a cover page and all? If so, how do you plan on achieving this?

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 04, 2011, 08:20:46 PM

I'm designing the cover pages with GIMP and am compiling the Audio CD. I'll eventually get the disc itself a cover. These songs here sound like they deserve a good round CD

Ftxavanga Txe′lan · August 04, 2011, 09:45:12 PM

Oh I see!

I do agree with you on that.

Tirea Aean · August 04, 2011, 10:47:11 PM

the word Na'vi has a special glyph stack that never made it into the font package...

I have a feeling that nìNa'vi also would have such a special glyph stack.

also, why did you separate nì from Na'vi? there's some space there between nì Na'vi

just nitpicky Eoio-font stuff.

I otherwise really like what you did there.

Säfpìl asìltsan! I was thinking about the same, however as I know nothing about audio processing, it was only nice idea. Completely agree, I'd add these songs:
Tewti ma utral
Lora syulang in this thread

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 05, 2011, 04:27:22 AM

Tewti ma utral sounds a bit bad because of the lack of accompaniment.

By the way, I'll prioritize original songs over adaptations of existing songs. Original means that the tune is either original or some EXTREMELY well-known tune (like the alphabet song).

Txon amawey and Tewti ma utral are both available with and without accompanient, I think. But I prefer version without accompanient, as it IMO doesn't fit to these songs.

Kamean · August 05, 2011, 02:21:06 PM

Tewti! Good idea.

Tirea Aean · August 05, 2011, 02:57:21 PM

no comment on glyphstacking?

Spoiler: okay

Also, I assume the tracklist is pretty much based off the list of all Na'vi songs thread, those of which have mp3 downloads.

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 05, 2011, 07:25:10 PM

Sorry

The glyphstack and space is already fixed on this end. I'm only trying to see whether there are songs NOT on the list. Additionally, the songs are processed more or less so they will sound better. I might be releasing a bin/cue file after I finish.

Tirea Aean · August 05, 2011, 08:20:13 PM

Oh cool. I think there may or may not be more, but off the top of my head, you didn't miss anything.

Yayo · August 06, 2011, 02:03:06 AM

I decided to compile of all of Na'vi songs into one album and used this album cover. It is quite cool.

1. Txon Amawey
3. Tutan Akoak
5. Oeru Ngal Polawm

Hmm, this is kinda the other way around...
Txon Amawey is as known as Tewti ma Utral.
Tutan Akoak is also based on/translated from a known song: "The Islander - Nightwish"
Oeru Ngal Polawm is as translation of a known song as well: "Du Hasst - Rammstein"

Some songs that deserve a place on this CD:
Maria kxamlä na'rìng kä and Fkewa Tsamsiyu (both from Talis)

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 06, 2011, 09:06:31 AM

Ohh? So tutan akoak is not original

Sorry I'm not a pop song freak so I don't know the song The Islander. Anyway...it sounds great and the melody sounds very Na'vi to me. What I mean is that Oeyä Hi'ia Pa'li and Oeru polawm* et cetera won't be making it in since it will be extremely obvious that the tune is a ripoff and oeru polawm sounds way to gangster-ish.

Does anybody know where can I find a version of maria kxamlä na'rìng kä that has accompaniment? And fkewa tsamsiyu doesn't seem to be a song, at least the Youtube version. It seems to be a narration of a story accompanied by the AVTR soundtrack

*yeah I know I have it in the list, but it's gonna be deleted when there's a better song to fit in the space on the CD...

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 06, 2011, 10:34:48 AM

Sorry for my mepostxe but I somehow find that Talis singing Tutan Akoak sounds way more melodic and good-sounding than the original The Islander song, which isn't as good. Is it because of Na'vi phonology and word order makes it just more asevin? The Islander doesn't rhyme well and has pretty weird meter, while TUtan Akoak does not.

eejmensenikbenhet · August 06, 2011, 11:00:50 AM

Yeah, my point was that not all songs based on excisting songs should be counted as unoriginal, because the lyrics and the voice are definitely original.

Well, Fkewa Tsamsiyu is not really a story, but not a song as well. $:-\$
It's more of an addition to the background music in my eyes/ears. However, it has such a beautiful meaning that I think it deserves a place between the others.

I don't believe there's a version of Maria kxamlä na'rìng kä with accompaniment because of the... Well... "negative" reactions of the accompaniment placed on Txon aMawey and Tewti ma Utral by a third person who uploaded them to Youtube. (Talis and Plumps did not upload them or put accompaniment on them.)

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 06, 2011, 11:05:01 AM

Anyway tutan akoak is a terrific tirol. However I actually think that the accompaniment for Txon aMawey is pretty good, though I do agree that Tewti ma Utral's bad accompaniment is a pain to the memikyun.

I'm actually considering putting Pum-ti-a-ta and the row-row-row-your-boat from AN's Seattle meetup recording if nothing goes to fit the 80 minutes

Irtaviš Ačankif · August 06, 2011, 11:09:44 AM

Since I'm going to be putting a little info booklet into the jewel case I think that the inglisi translations for steyki and fpoma samsiyu are really in need...thanks.

By the way, if I don't understand wrong Steyki is about Tirea Aean bidding kìyevame to the entire Avatar community and declaring himself a non-Na'vi and the "LeL-NeN" people "akawng"?

Probably oeyä lì'fya leNa'vi akawng nìtxan lu, so I don't think that I got the gist correctly?

He indeed says Kiyevame to the community, but not in a bad way I think... The first line, as far as I can understand, isn't that "hatefull": Lu yawne oer ayngay.

Oh, what about Das Lied über die Geschichte von Avatar?
That one is about 8 minutes long...
