Hey everyone. Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/group/PLMtRClgemu18WeuhMuxWRmeKj3NlT3-FP
As a kid, I barely even knew Montague. He never showed up in any of the episodes that aired. I remember some scenes from music videos and such, that barber scene in particular stood out in my mind. After seeing some of season 2 and beyond, it’s quite amazing how much he shows up! He really was basically a new cast member!
Percys basis is great meaning percy and duck are related meaning duck isn’t to great western to lose to percy meaning they are both great western to lose to each other
"Duck is very proud to be Great Western, he talks endlessly about it, but he works hard too and makes everything go like clockwork, it was a splendid day."
“There are two ways of doing things, the Great Western way or the wrong way!” Those recreations were sweet Ty! Get more your work! Duck’s Theme sounds sweet and lovely!
Duck has been my favorite character for the longest time. I love his work ethic, his design shows how powerful of a tank engine he is in such a small model, and his theme has always been my favorite to listen to. I even enjoy driving Pannier tank engines in Train Simulator.
Thank you so much Ty! I love this theme too! Duck is one of my all-time favorite characters! He's always helpful and hardworking, proud of his Great Western heritage, has a strong moral compass, knows how to stand up for himself, and even willing to put his life at risk to save others like in A Close Shave! Duck deserves more credit than most give him! Your prefect rendition of his theme does him proper justice! It's steady yet jaunty and has notes of determination and sagacity (sorry Oliver!) One day, I hope to meet a GWR Pannier tank engine like Duck one day! For now, let's give a cheer for the OG Great Western Engine Duck and Ty!
"What's your name?" Asked The Fat Controller "Montague, sir, But I'm usually called Duck! They say it's because I waddle! I don't really, sir, but I like Duck better than Montague!" "Duck it shall be!"
1:33 - Duck was tired out. The trucks had been cheeky and troublesome. He wanted a rest in the shed. *Enters the turntable, only to get blockaded by the 3 bigger engines*
I like how Duck’s tired theme and traveling theme are basically the same, the only difference is the pitch, his traveling theme is just a lower pitch version of his tired theme.
This was one of my favorite character theme songs as a kid! It really appeals to the classical music fan in me. The melody reminds me of the first part of "Minuet in G Major" by Bach.
VERY nicely done Ty. Always enjoyed hearing your recreations of Duck's theme as they (along with countless others) are always on point! Also, is it just me, or did I hear a bit of Mario 3 music tossed in right near the end?
There’s a sped up version of this theme, but I can’t remember what it’s called. It plays in the episode “All At Sea” when Duck is taking a man to the hospital after he’s injured, and in “Bowled Out” when he and Stepney have to take the express. (There might be more instances, but those are the two I can think of.) (Edited to include episode names.)
"He seems a simple sort of engine" "We'll have some fun and order him about" (makes Donald Duck noises) WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!!! Smoke billowed everywhere.
1:33 Duck was tired out. The cars had been cheeky and troublesome. He wanted a rest in the shed. But the three engines barred his way. HOOSH! James: Keep out!
I like Duck’s sad theme. It perfectly matches that mood when you’re tired and weary and despite your best efforts things didn’t turn out the way you hoped they would.
