Re: Orcs - they kinda tend to hang out mostly around Mordor, Isengard and the mines of Moria, as far as I can tell….so I’m not sure we can say they’re everywhere… dB Quote ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polychrest Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Seriously (not a good word to inject into this thread), if you really want to get into the etymology of orcs and their perseverance in popular culture, this might be a useful starting point: https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-are-ukrainians-calling-russian-invaders-orcs/ Quote In Russia, Kirill Eskov published a retelling of Tolkien’s work in 1999 under the title ‘The Last Ringbearer’. Eskov’s novel is a mirror-image of Tolkien’s. It follows a group of elves, led by Gandalf, who wage unremitting war on the peaceful realm of Sauron; eventually Sauron succeeds in defeating them and destroys their treacherous magic, ushering in a new age of progress and prosperity.

Iconoclast Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 At first I didn't want to like Orcs. It seemed really trendy. But then I realized how easy Orcs were to get along with, and they just get the job done. They sure do seem overpriced though. Quote You want me to start this song too slow or too fast?

Adam Burgess Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I like doing easy gigs with orc-hestras. Play less notes than in a jazzy duo. As for orcs, can they transpose at sight or do they have to press that button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
