Kate Shilonova’s latest album was created using Found Sound Nation’s Broken Orchestra sample pack (a catalogue of over one thousand dilapidated instruments sourced from Philadelphia public schools). Check it out, some very interesting sounds there. You can also listen to what people like Daedelus have done w/ them. The Broken Orchestra typewriter is fun too.
You have to send an e-mail first to get the links to the sounds but here they are anyway:

Kate NV & Fire-Toolz Live Show Review: 4/6, Sleeping Village, Chicago
BY JORDAN MAINZER
On her latest album WOW (RVNG Intl.), Russian pop singer Kate NV--the same person who once called her bicycle her best friend--eschews surefire humanism in favor of dropping us into a world of digitized inanimate objects. The sounds she presents, sometimes from Found Sound Nation’s Broken Orchestra sample pack, others field recordings, are inviting because they’re familiar, yet not 100% recognizable. Orchestral instruments rub elbows with video game music and clanging silverware on “confessions at the dinner table”, while goofy sitcom motif slap basslines pop up in “oni (they)” and “d d don’t”. The record’s title appropriately reflects the sense of wonder you get from listening to the record, and clearly the mindset Kate Shilonosova occupied when constructing it.
During her Chicago live debut Thursday night at Sleeping Village, Shilonosova actually played mostly songs from 2020′s Room for the Moon, her planned tours for that album cancelled due to the pandemic. She brought the same joyousness that pervades WOW into the minimalist dance of its predecessor. Her robotic, yet aerobic dance moves from the opening notes of “Not Not Not”, through the funky bass and rubbery synths of “Sayonara”, and for the rest of the set fit alongside the roomy beats of the music, even as swirling saxophone, orchestral synth, and blissful arpeggios filled the spaces in between. As jubilant as the music itself, Shilonosova was grateful to be in the room, and for the night, it felt like we were here best friends.
It’s perhaps strange to find Kate NV’s music minimal, but it certainly was compared to the brilliant maximalism of her opener, Chicago mastermind Fire-Toolz. Angel Marcloid’s trademark mix of disparate influences and sounds, everything from smooth jazz saxophone to arena rock guitars and death metal blastbeats and vocals, is far from throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Even though Marcloid, at the end of the set, displayed the announcement that the new Fire-Toolz album, I am upset because I see something that is not there. (Hausu Mountain), would be out the next day “on the Internet where I live,” Fire-Toolz’ music is far more carefully curated than a lot of internet-brained hyperpop. Sure, F-T songs are sometimes like New Age-meets-screamo vignettes, presented in front of visuals that range from deer antlers to uncanny alien people to bootleg-looking Pixar creatures. On paper, it sounds unfiltered, but that it seems straight from the mind of Marcloid to the audience is what makes the music honest and interesting. Marcloid’s choice on I am upset to sing clean vocals makes tracks like “Mantra-ing & Golgotha: Double-Bind (Prequel)” affecting, and the same emotive performance style elevated old tracks like “Soda Lake With Game Genie”, a stadium-sized piano ballad. Kate NV and Fire-Toolz may not be headlining stadiums, but their ideas could fill a million universes.

help i'm listening to an orchestral arrangement of holiday by green day and i can't deal with it
#it's so disgustingly high up. the melody. that it sounds like pirates of the carribean#like. do you not get the memo to give the melody to anyone but the violins?? give it to the cellos or the trombones smh#other than that musically it's really good. BUT the reason i'm on here#is because i need someone less sleep deprived than me to queue up holiday and then more (by 5sos) and tell me is it the same chord#that holiday ends on and more (and bobd) start on??#if so. you know what i'm gonna do#i'm gonna fix this#and i'm tired enough that i feel like i can do better than anything i hear right now#was singing along to my cd in the car on the way back from orchestra and just. singing high harmonies like i'm delta goodrem#because apparently i learned everything i know from her? checks out#but the point is. that's not the main melody#in holiday. or it straight up sounds like pirates or some video game soundtrack#anyway the video is by epic orchestra. you can look it up#they didn't get the memo on how to write bass parts for orchestra apparently. fuck off i learned on teeth (song)#green day#holiday#boulevard of broken dreams#5 seconds of summer#more#silver arranges 5sos#thinking of making it some choose your own adventure between easier/more and holiday/bobd where they can swap next songs#and musically it works perfectly#help i'm listening to their bobd arrangement now and i swear it sounds like on of the triumphant end scenes from pirates#i don't watch enough movies bc it sounds generic movie soundtrack happy. which is stupid. it's boulevard of broken dreams#it's meant to be SAD. just cause it's in a major key ffs#sorry i should shut up and go to sleep#you can ask me about this later#i will post any demos that i make. you might not remember by then#because if i had the word 'soon' in my vocabulary...#just as well no one is relying on me

i can't sleep...
#you know how waw ego cost like 35 sp#which is well too huge of a cost especially if the ego and the id is positive coin#you know how the Bind ego only cost 10 sp but it consume 10-8 sp for the next 3 turn#so that waw ego are more usable by lowering its sp cost on use but in total it still cost more or less the same#wtihout having to make another waw ego with sp heal#imagine that the aleph ego sp cost are so high that 45 sp sinner get instantly corroded just from overclocking it#which isn't really ideal#so what i want to say is for limbus' first aleph must have some drawback to justify lower sp cost however utterly broken enough that it#deserve its aleph risk level#some shit like mosb that would drain every unit including ally's health#melting love that would mark one ally and continuously drain sp from them#blue star that would drive everyone mad#fucking silent orchestra that will have different effect based on number of turn since the ego was started#and on the very last act it will set everyone's sp to -45

also if you make us do a Second encore piece, after we've already done one, and some guy has done the closing remarks already, and i've put my damn instrument away, already, i am not fucking playing it LOL! sorry!
#this is not how you run an orchestra lol.#there are so many conventions being broken here#and yeah like. conventions aren't set in stone or Required or whatever#but they do exist for a reason...#like the concertmistress who doesn't look at me like At All when tuning. girl.#ugh. whatever#one more day with these fools and then i never have to play with them ever again!#sasha speaks#i wanna talk about me

I don’t know which I love more:
Björn’s lyrics for Som en sprucken mandolin or Helen’s performance of it.
Probably Helen. But the lyrics for the song are gorgeous.
also - lagt kort ligger is the same. Oohhhh it’s so good. Good in a different way than Som en sprucken mandolin but just as amazing
#personal#BAO#like a broken man#som en sprucken mandolin#Helen sjöholm#Benny Andersson’s orchestra#lagt kort ligger

remembered this video today and it still fucking rules
#youtube symphony orchestra#including highlights such as#musical saw wiggles#brass for a broken arm#blue sweater's fierce intensity clashing the cymbals#all the harpists getting to do that one trill#and of course the imperial stormtrumpeter#not me getting emotional about the human need to create music together#AGAIN#cheer up tag
