//these are kind of random but out of some of the instrumentals I have, I think of Mal every time I hear “Gather the Faithful” by Cain’s Offering; “Arabesque” (Nightwish) for Inara; and “Last of the Wilds” (Also Nightwish) for maybe River? just some.
// I think it's a bit too heavy on electric guitar for Mal? What do I have for him... All I have for his playlist rn is "Rob Roy Crosses the Minch" (performed by Fraser and Haas). Admittedly, I didn't work so much on his yet. But that's more what I'm looking for, I just don't have much in that way. And it can't all be fiddle and cello?
// The tempo and rhythm of "Arabesque" is a bit too quick for what I'm looking for. A little too action-y? I'm constructing Inara's around "Hanabusa" (Michiru Oshima) and "Erhu" off the Anna Karenina soundtrack, so "Arabesque" doesn't quite fit unfortunately.
// "Last of the Wilds" is a bit heavy on the set and guitar for the sound I was working around for River. I'm working less toward River the trained assassin and more toward River the girl. (Though maybe I need to shift the balance a bit now that I think about it.) I think have River's pretty set already though.
