hellooo isat instrumentalists this one’s for u 🎼
my pal @dasnercaret was looking to play the ISAT title theme on piano last night and lamenting the lack of single-instrument sheet music, so: i come bearing offerings of sheets created specifically with piano playability in mind!
the solo version does make some compromises to ensure it's playable by one person, as unfortunately the accurate transcription spans two too many octaves for that, but still retains the key features of the OST!
for the more accurate duets, i've got two formats:
the duet version is explicitly split into a single-line melody and piano accompaniment; the melody retains some chords at the end but the lower notes are easily ignorable if you need (winds gang rise up <3)
finally, the "2hands" version is just everything smushed together onto one staff in case you prefer it that way. or like. have rachmaninoff hands. as with the duet, you can easily play this by sitting side-by-side with your star-headed buddy of choice at the same keyboard and having one person take the low voice while the other takes the high!
additional notes under the cut:
incidentally, i did find out from the isat discord after finishing these that there was a really great direct multi-instrument transcription on musescore already, but unfortunately none floating around yet designed for actually learning and playing. so again, this is especially for folks who want to sit down at your Instrument Of Choice and play the theme yourself or with a buddy, but if you want to hear a truly faithful version, i believe it is thanks to @sketchz that you're covered here! (hope the ping is okay!)
also for the record, i said We Ball and used 32nd notes for the "echo" nearing the end of the track since it's Musically Significant but if that's terrifying you can absolutely just ignore every other note and play them as 16ths. go forth and make music freely and do whatever you want forever <33
enjoy!!
#(affirmation) i will not overthink the fact that the isat theme is impossible for one pianist but perfect for two sharing the same keyboard#(affirmation) i will be normal and regular about this normal regular composition choice that almost certainly means nothing#that is just the natural consequence of being a song with a high melody and A Bassline its FINE#in stars and time#isat#isat music#in stars and time music#isat sheet music#atlasisms

my nephew was playing some Roblox music on his phone as background during game night, and I know we've talked a bit about Homestuck's influence on comics and storytelling but I don't think we talk enough about how the Homesuck music team had a real tangible effect on indie game music. maybe even music in general. it's not uncommon for me to be listening to some musical thing and think 'is that homestuck??'
#either that or i just really don't know what internet music composers were doing in the 00s and 10s#and what i'm hearing is a natural evolution of that but my only touchstone is homestuck lmao#but like. its not specific melodies or anything its just the way the music sounds? which might just be the instruments used#or the loop effect libraries or something#in the same way someone in a cartoon makes a joke and youre like 'oh haha this writer was a homestuck'#i'll hear some piece of music and think 'huh was this writer a homestuck?'#LMAO just remembered i was in the car with a friend and her husband was playing an album he liked#some rock or metal or something album not even game music or anything#and something about the way the introductory measures sounded made me really think '........is this punk singer a homestuck???'#anyway just spent like an hour looking up all the old homestuck composer's current bandcamps and socials so#i know what im listening to this weekend

Thinking about how hozier is so Irish and Noah Kahan is so American ya know
#like with hozier u can see that influence in like the songs about nature and the catholic church and the references to irish authors#u can also hear it in his music a bit with the biting melodies and the synocopated parts underneath#and noah kahan....#u can hear that influence of folk and country music that runs through a lot of american singers#like the need to tell a story in that kind of way#and how politics are interwoven seemlessly into those songs#but what do they have in common...#just wailing about how theyll do anything for their love#even if it destroys them#lets not think too hard about why that impacts me so much#anyways thats it#hozier#noah kahan#take me to church#stick season

Cringe warning: very bad Esperanto.
Mi povas mergi min en Esperanto čar mi ne faris multe da progreso ekde 2019. Mi kredas mi komencis lerni en 2019, sed mi rezignis dum (por?) unua jaro. Mi rezignis la hispana, la franca, la japana kaj la irlandano čar… nu, estas evidente kial. Tro da lingvoj lerni (por lerni? Lerni sentas malgxuste.)
Sed, mi restis kun la Esperanto(n?) čar gxi estas facila. Mi volas lerni lingvon por la sakeo (that’s… is that seriously the word? Sakeo? I joked once that Esperanto is 80% English words with -o and the end and 15% other languages with o- at the end, but I digress) de lerni lingvon. Homoj diras ke tio estas malbono kialo, sed, kial? Estas amuza… ne estas krimo amuziĝi.
Honeste, mi estis (estis for ‘have been?’ doesn’t feel right…) uzi Google Translate por helpi min, sed ne por lambastono. nur por kontroli se mia gramatiko estas bona. Ne estas, evidente, sed… mi estas nesekura pri gramatiko. Mi scias ke gxi ne estas bona, sed gxi estas probable pli bona ol mi sed mi ne uzis gxin.
Cxiuokaze… mi havas punkton kun ĉi tio; estas malfacila mergi en konlang! Jes, mi povus aligxi servilo de Discord, sed… la embaraso. Mi estus kiel, “Bonvolu… mi estas…” kaj havas furzo de cerba! Cerba furzo? (Googling how to stutter in Esperanto. Great.) (also I’m realising I said bonvolu instead of… oh my god? Am I seriously forgetting hello? Oh, Saluton!)
Cxu mi probable lernu la lingvon de miaj lando, la irlandano? Probable, sed honeste? Neniu parolas la irlandano en la nordo. Ili apenaŭ en la sudo. (Ne estas sude, mi ne zorgas se Google translate diras alie… ne sentas gxusta.)
Cxu mi havas punkto kun cxi tio? Ne. Sed, hej, diras al mi kiel CLAPPED mia Esperanto estas. Kaj, jes, mi eĉ ne provis traduki clapped cxar gxi estas pli amuza al ne.
Mi estas tiel malbona pri Esperanto. Mi devas fidi al tradukistoj por helpo. Mi uzas Google Translate por helpi kun tempoj kaj gramatikoj, sed la vortoj estas plejparte el mia cerbo, se tio havas sencon.
Mi ne havas kialon pri ĉi tio. Mi supozas, ke ĉi tio estas testo de miaj kapabloj. La rezultoj? Tre malbona, sed, hej, mi afiŝos ĉi tio, ĉiuokaze.
Edit: after writing this post, I got an easy, actually video about languages recommended… lol
#lemons random rants#Esperanto#conlang#conlangblr#did I mention I want to learn Toki Pona too#anyway- point is with this post- it’s hard to immerse yourself in a conlang#because podcasts in Esperanto tend to be about Esperanto- for example#I dunno.#4-5 years and I still suck#yeah I know doing one duolingo lesson a day is probably why- but you’d think I’d be somewhat good after 4-5 years#I can read basic paragraphs in Esperanto but some words fly over my head.#I could probably read and understand ‘there was a fruit that was very yellow and juicy’ but could I write that sentence? er… unlikely#I also get tio/tiu and all that jazz mixed up#same with mia/miaj/miajn and all that.#I guess it’s kinda intuitive. sometimes I look at something and think ‘this doesn’t feel right.’#I have the same problem with art where I got really discouraged because people assume I’m a beginner#I’ve done art on and off since 2018. even before that I drew a lot in 2017 and 2016.#I’m just not that good.#same with languages.#sometimes I wanna learn music too.#but I make something super generic and repetitive. and give up. because I don’t know how to structure a song.#my instinct is to just add more and more but never change the er- core… melody?#this post took 20 minutes I could’ve been working on my writing or something.#it’s not laziness. I work really hard at my writing. I just struggle to invest time in anything else because… I’m not a natural at it. also#it strangely feels like slacking off when I do anything other than write#edit or proofreading#also I’ve technically cleared the entire Esperanto course on duolingo like five times#I like skipping to all the ‘big tests’ sometimes where they don’t give hints and they’re very long#as for my Toki Pona? Even worse! I know a lot of the words but not how to structure it. suli. laso. mi. jan. a. awesi(?). kulupu. Soweli#Soweli my beloved creature. insa? look point is I know some words but not how to structure things

one thing they don't tell you about song writing is you WILL get hit with inspiration at 1 am and you WILL have to write down the whole thing before you forget and you WILL find a tune for it while typing and now you gotta actually finish it so you can record a draft so you don't forget it and- oh look it's 2:22 am
#:(#BUT the draft slaps. imo. the singing's Not Great it's purely to save the melody somehow#also some parts def need to be polished lol when i sing along on my phone in bed I'm too lazy to go back and do retakes#(in part bc it can delete stuff i don't want deleted so.) so if there's a line I'm not sure about well. i have to wing it lol#anyway. this one exists in the same cinematic universe as loveless. aka fun upbeat pop songs about how i can't feel love#i like it! i like how my brain immediately went to a fun pop tune while writing. it's perfect. i love the irony of it so so much ♡#it's also kinda funny to call it pop when there isn't any music ajdkflglh but i can hear it clearly in my head so 🧐 yeah.#yknow I'm surprised by how naturally this sort of thing comes to me now#and i find myself writing to match the tune rather than forcing a tune to match the lyrics#it also just. makes them better. sound more natural imo. less pretentious too :P#idk I'm excited that i managed to create smth sorry for the ramble 🙏#i need to wake up at around 9:45 so wish me luck with that 🥲 bc i doubt I'll be able to sleep soon lol

i was trying to remember which artist introduced me to the jazz standard "these foolish things" (a song i sing to myself often) so i was clicking through various versions on spotify and what i love is like. obviously every artist is going to have their own style. but you will NEVER mistake etta james for a different singer. the way she's able to carry her voice. like, man. she really had pipes
#but yeah when i sing it it's very like quiet and melancholy and subdued but she's bringing such an energy to it. totally different song#this is complementary by the way. i'm impressed by the transformative nature#and like with any talented jazz artist she doesn't feel the need to stick 100% to the established melody. she throws curveballs#ough. music.#anyway i'm still not 100% certain but i believe the version i was trying to find was ella fitzgerald's

music(als) (screaming)
falsettos specifically (screaming louder)
#fucking unlikely lovers aaaaehahaaaaaaa#the ending the fucking ending it’s such an unresolved chord like i’m not sure what cadence but it’s sure not perfect#and its fucking heartbreaking the the the#same musicals with the words ‘hepa hepa hepatitis hepatitis hepatitis?’ makes me feel such emotions#(and doesn’t ever leave me alone ever i swear to god)#this is why you don’t put music on shuffle because there’s no way i’m getting through dracula anymore#i’ll be normal later but right now william finn is literally exploding my brain#music is wild how can a fucking cadence make me tear up like that’s actually fascinating it’s just frequencies n that but it’s so complex#how is music what even is music?? music is pretty natural everything has rhythms and pitches and then we combine them to make melodies and#more specific pieces of music and it’s beautiful that we do that that there is literally music everywhere ever#there always has been there always will be it’s so important and can tell you so many things about so many things#sorry got a bit sidetracked from falsettos there but yeah. music i love music i like it a lot i really really do believe it or not

I feel like this is missing the forest for the trees. You keep decrying “virtue” when art that is made in a certain way is often different categorically from art that is made with other tools. People are getting caught up in the metaphors here so let me try my best; this ain’t “digital music” vs trained musicians using analogue instruments, this is a painting of food vs a website for a restaurant. The way you create something often separates it categorically within artistic persuits not just from analysis but from experience.
Human history can be simplified to be just us “finding the easier way with better and better tools” but that reaches oversimplification here cause that has more to do with tech broadly, not with art or politics/culture I’d argue. With music people ain’t just reacting to the sound, we are always conscious of many layers of context. That’s true of all art. Knowing someone wrote their own lyrics can enhance a song for people, knowing that the sounds were created using live instruments can help a listener feel the feeling they want from the sound better because their ideas of what music is come from an idea that it is “primal.” People ain’t wrong to say they prefer someone who’s more than just a parrot for the words, especially with genres where half the point is this idea. And live recordings exist to help further a “primal” feeling for people who prefer their music mostly analogue.
But in all these analogies the common thread ain’t “human uses tool” it’s “human uses tool but in a way that has to have some work to it because that work is a prerequisite for it to be the art we agree meets this definition.” A person dancing, however subjectively good or bad, is very different than a person rendering a 3D subject doing the same dance. We can all argue over which we like better but both are a kind of art.
‘machine learning art’ is a person asking Siri to render a 3D model dancing for them. That ain’t art, that’s fundamentally different than the digital counterpart in the dance example because at a certain point sufficiently advanced tools change the category of art and machine learning art is sophisticated enough it’s essentially just making a DJ request to the universe. There can be uses for people obviously, but those uses don’t change the fundamental nature of the thing. Not everyone can draw or play guitar or sing well or dance well or take a sample and change it enough to meet a know it when you hear it level of effort be their own, and all of that can be deemed still whack by someone with different tastes. Machine learning art is actually not art because it is both theft and even in hypotheticals where it’s fed all things given willingly the lack of anything other than guidelines means no one created it, it’s shapes in the cloud that haven’t been photographed or painted yet.
Your turning on a light analogy worked perfect except for where you landed with it. When we say we turn on a light we don’t think about how this is shorthand for “I manipulated one switch that only helps bring light because of work someone else did installing the wiring and etc.” But turning on a light is using FL studio to make an instrumental, machine learning art is a CEO giving parameters to RandD about making a product they envision but don’t have the skills to tackle even a piece of the creation on their own.
My god my girlies
MY GIRLIES. I am still crying, I am still crying about this. Every day I cry about this.
You bitched so hard about being forced to read 1984 in school when it’s so problematic (tm)
Maybe you should have actually paid attention when you read it
Because all these AI fics
You are LITERALLY MAKING THE GARBAGE NOVELS FROM 1984 that are written by machines
You have literally recreated the worthless soulless machine-made books
Literally,
Literally. Every once in a while it hits me in a fresh wave of disbelief and anger. You have literally created the dystopian book from the dystopian story about why dystopia is bad, and you are passing it around like it’s this amazing thing. I’m crying, I’m crying.
#Machine learning#machine learning stealing art#Machine learning art ain’t art#The narrative of work as pejorative when it comes to art is a too far pendulum swing#It’s trying to correct for things like using digital drawing interface short cuts and digital music producing being called not art#When in reality these things do change the nature of the art#But the skill involved mediates this#Good illustrators can partially save their hands with the brushes and selection tools#And great producers are doing less than artists who had to also manage physical instruments but this is mitigated by emphasis on lyrics#Or knowing how to take the preset sounds and toggle them almost like you would with physical extra attachments to an instrument#or people recognize something sounds good but it can’t be ���good music” to then because the context is all wrong to what makes good music fo#Them which involves a harder messier kind of creation#Use machine learning to automate the limited work it is meant for#It can only hurt if we treat the visuals and melodies it spits out as art#From a jobs perspective and a cultural perspective

Lau, 'The Bell That Never Rang'
#it's just so pretty#there's also a 3min radio edit of this song but i just love the instrumental harmonies at the beginning#and the melody movement from and to cacophonies sounds like waves the strings at one point are like bubbles underwater#and then you walk up the rocks after a little swim#the crescendo is gorgeous it makes me feel like joanna newsom's 'kingfisher' and you know i adore joanna#it's just magic#i think this is like 'ponyo' (2008) for me haha#anyway#enjoy this gorgeous tune and happy swimming#lau#the bell that never rang#music#(and if you like this they also have a song where they make the percussion sound like waves crashing so naturally i LOVE that too haha#actually i like all their music lol
