#{ Melodies of Nature - Music }

[gemsalive]

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!!

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

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

John’s second demo of Whatever Gets You Through the Night ends with him recalling his 1968 India song, Child of Nature (On the Road to Marrakesh):

I was dreaming of the past

And my heart was beating fast

This was the song that became Jealous Guy.

In the third demo of WGYTtN, the lines are recalled again.

In the fifth one, it’s recalled a third time. With the slower tempo, it’s more noticable that the melody of the two songs match.

Work sucked absolute balls but I spent all afternoon playing the game so none of that matters anymore. Work is a distant memory now.

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
