Ogre & gobelin

By LeCroqueMonsieur on April 12, 2026 2:04 pm

Welcome to my home dungeon! You’ve just opened a door and a gobelin and an ogre sleep. What do you do? (Roll for perception?)

In your left ear you’ll hear my daughter snore and in the right my dog on the first few beats. Both continue throughout the song.

The song then will evolve with melody echoing each side, layering the perfect slumber of my little goblin and my gentle ogre, mixed with guitar and a crescendo for a light finish.

This is yet another creation of iPhone, where all my project was lost (including the midi drum track…) by Thursday and I had to rush it afterwards, including a last sprint with the elusive guitar that I couldn’t nail until Sunday 4pm on my recorder (rocky setup with no monitoring). Mixing and mastering on iPhone is no piece of cake, but I found the perfect trick for the drums. Happy about them so far!

It lacks in some areas but I’m happy about it.

Caution, pretty sure ogres and gobelins eats Croque Monsieur for breakfast.

It did take me a second listen to detect the snore. Nicely done. Like the harp. What do you use to make music on the iPad? I rarely make music on the iPad, mostly  on long train rides a few times a year. I have used iMPC, Pure Acid and a few synths but never got to a finished track, a few loops and patterns is as much as I ever got.

Wow, you're adding more electronic

Very cool vibes, reminds me of my psy-trance "listening sessions" big_smile

Most definitely! I try to be careful especially at night (they like to eat my sleep apparently!)

Thanks a lot, so it’s actually not a harp, but a guitar and I record on my iPhone! It’s definitely a challenge. It’s mostly GarageBand and a bit of Synth One. Honestly the setup is very very barebone but fun.

Ahaha, thanks dude, yeah I have never written much electro before, so I’m trying stuff!

And that's all that counts smile

I'm kind of flabbergasted that these are all iphone recordings. I've gotten good sounds out of mine but never thought of using as a the only mic. You're just using the on-board mic?

Awesome track btw I dig it!

Those are some clean synths. I love the "dungeon garage" genre as a mix of dungeon synth and garage rock/folk. Would love to hear more in that style.

And, as always, absolute mad lad to do it all on iPhone.

(very enjoyable snare sound, snappy but not overwhelming)

Good job!
