Stories
9"Cruise's Sweetheart"
An outfit prepared for female musicians of the "Free Breeze" crew. Due to the outstanding solo performance of the interviewee, the crew prepared her a unique uniform befitting her role as the ship's music star.
"A Glimpse of the Nebula"
A little cap that adds the perfect touch to the interviewee's smile.
The star-like ornaments strung along the star rail can slide freely, producing a crisp, pleasant chime when they collide. The interviewee admits that even if the audience can't hear them clearly over the noise, to her, those soft dings are still part of an improvised symphony.
"Crackling Box"
A composite instrument combining features of the violin, flute, euphonium, and other instruments through the "Astrictus" incantation. Known as "a most captivating gadget," "the eternal pearl of the 'Free Breeze'," and "the maestro of music" ... the interviewee used it for solos and gained numerous accolades.
It is rumored that this incantation originated from a renowned luthier family in Cremona, the birthplace of the violin. This background sheds light on the performer's extraordinary musical talents.
"Comet Trail"
The train of a gown specially tailored to enhance the stage effect.
Flawless performance is about more than musical skill—the interviewee knows this well. During the show, a streak of blue whizzes over the audience's heads, joining the fireworks and music to create a truly breathtaking moment.
"Free Breeze" Hair Ornament
A souvenir in the shape of a ship's wheel, accentuated by silk ribbons in oceanic colors, given to every guest boarding the "Free Breeze."
The rules state that crew members should not ordinarily purchase or wear items intended for passengers. However, as part of a promotional stunt, the previous captain gifted this special item to the interviewee, in recognition of her role in the ship's publicity efforts.
"Crackling Box: Northern Theme"
A "Crackling Box" infused with circus flair.
The interviewee eagerly asks if we noticed the changes to this curious contraption. After a long discussion about its decorative exterior, she abruptly shifts the topic to what's inside. According to her, its tone now suits both the tundra and the sky above it.
Home, Music, Rebellion
Cremona is a world-famous haven for violins. Every day, its streets are filled with pilgrims who eagerly discuss music theory and gather to perform out of their deep devotion to artistry and craft of the violin.
Yes, the violin can be magnificent—until its sound saturates every day, every place, every room, and every dining table discussion. The child who once adored the violin began to lose her passion, her eyes drifting toward the broader world of musical instruments. However, to parents who were famed luthiers and players, anything else was only a distraction.
The family's arcane skill brought them accolades and opened doors with their innovations. But their rebellious child used that very skill to combine all the instruments she had secretly collected, creating something strange, beautiful and new. With this creation, she boarded a cruise ship bound for destinations unknown. Just like countless other children who ventured far from home, she left without looking back.
To this day, the girl from Cremona who boarded the "Free Breeze" continues to sail across the oceans of the world.
Instruments of the World (WIP)
Bagpipe
Musicians from Scotland define it as a reed aerophone, capable of producing a brilliant and resonant sound by inflating its bag. I think it's perfect for a grand, high-pitched entrance! However, its tone is rather pitched and can easily become monotonous.
Irish Tin Whistle
A six-holed flute with a fipple mouthpiece, known for its continuous sound that produces rich overtones. Its unique and complex timbre is fascinating. But it suffers from a limited range and volume, leaving it unsuitable for performances on a cruise ship.
Euphonium
A quintessential low-register instrument! It boasts an impressive lower range, and I adore its deep, mellow tone. Unfortunately, it can't reach higher notes, causing it to occasionally blend into the background during performances.
Violin
With its wide range and beautiful tone, the violin is a captivating instrument. Its rich variety of sound is delightful to all who hear it—unless, of course, you've been forced to play it since childhood.
Continuation of the Past
Barcarola: A talking mouth?! Where did you come from? I'd love to hear your story!
Pandora Wilson: I believe it would be best to keep our interview focused on you, Ms. Barcarola. You're the one that people want to know.
Pandora Wilson: I was hoping you might share your experiences as a musician on the "Free Breeze."
Barcarola: Oh, right! Of course! Well, it was a wonderful experience. I still think of my time aboard fondly. During the day, I'd spend my time listening to our guests' stories, and if there happened to be a luncheon or tea party, then I would join them as we savored new dishes from around the world together.
Barcarola: And in the evenings, I would perform brand-new compositions based on their requests and experiences of the day, I admit I miss basking in their applause.
Pandora Wilson: That sounds absolutely sublime, what a shame that your ship is gone.
Barcarola: The "Free Breeze" may be gone but I'll never stop performing. In fact, we could even play together!
Pandora Wilson: I'm afraid I'm not much of a musician.
Barcarola: Don't worry, even the sound of a whistle or melodica can become part of a wonderful performance. I'll help you!
Pandora Wilson: I appreciate the encouragement, although I must insist against it.
Barcarola: ... Oh, scusami! I didn't mean to be too forward, I just love sharing music!
