Satafinix, as always you create crazy mods that fully respond to my imagination regarding the various creatures and beasts of Skyrim. Kudos to your creative genius! I have been hoping for a long time that a mod dedicated to the Seekers will come out and I would like to suggest something, in all modesty and complete respect, as it is only my idea. If I remember correctly they produce a sound that is very similar to words: since, like the Lurkers, they are inspired by the world of Lovecraft, why not produce a very dark and low sound modulated on the famous chant: "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" replacing the word Cthulhu with Hermaeus Mora, or in short producing something that evokes that chant. I think it would be something spectacular!
an amazing idea but im gonna need someone to voice those lines XD, it's an idea straight out of my mind too, might mess around with AI voices and if it clicks to me i will do it, if not i will make something for the seekers :)
I have one or two Lovecraft games where you can hear the litany pronounced by human subjects.. could it be good as a basis on which to try some modulations?
As for permission to use parts of the game, I couldn't tell you, nor how to get it.. but do you think there are problems with using data as a basis? I mean maybe taking them from the Gameplay videos on Youtube? I found something, even a video made by some guy who repeats the phrase with different tones. After all, the idea would be to just use those phrases and then build a new audio, so their permission wouldn't be necessary. As for the phrase itself, there is no need for permission since Lovecraft's works are of public domain from several years in USA as such in almost 30 countries of Europe.
As for the vocal line, yes, I also thought of something fragmented, like a ritual prayer in which the adepts must each recite a part. So divide them into: 1. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh" 2. "Cthulhu R'lyeh" 3. "wgah'nagl fhtagn" with particular emphasis of anger on these last three words. Maybe even making them say other words, names from the Lovecraftian Pantheon like Nyarlathotep; Azathoth (Hermaesu Mora is based on Azathoth if I remember correctly, in the aspect it is); Yog-Sothoth; shub-niggurath (in this case the phrase should be the one often used in the books, an invocation: "ia! shub-niggurath".
As For the Audio it is already a great starting point! I Like it a lot as a base! I was thinking to adding to some parts a bit of deepest sounds, I have somethin in my mind but I can't bring what I have in my head to the keyboard at the moment, I need to find some examples or sources to make you understand well, but is like a deep vocal reverb, as like coming from another dimension. For the material, can I put the links of the Youtube videos here or do you think it's better if I send them to you with a DM?
EDIT: for example in you Lurker mods you have put a specific tone (seconds 3 to 5 of the first audio) that is quite what I intend. Something that makes you think of a sound transported by the depths of the ocean: dark, closed, low.. almost alien. Like not all the audio is modulated to this tone, but that every now and then, some verses are produced with a similar effect.
Dear Satafinix, i´m a great fan of your work. Your Compendium is like USSEP and SMIM a mod no modlist should miss. Is there any chance you will rework mods from other autors? I really like the chreature mods from MihailMods and 4thUnknown but there fokus is more on the visual than on the sound. I know it´s a matter of permission but it would be so cool if you rework Ogre or Skamp sounds some day. I have tryed Goblin Sound Restored but well ... listen yourself. I like the idea of Unique Werebear Sound manny new creature mods share there sound with vanilla creature and it would be cool if they have unique ones.
I made the mistake of having my headset on max volume when listening to the sample provided in the mod description and slammed my knee into my desk with immense force when it got loud suddenly XD

Edit: my idea is something like this because if the vocal is too long it will start cutting off ingame
