Melotober - Day 18 - Vintage
The music was simply made for older instruments!
#Melotober#I wish I could describe the debate that went into this as Frank and I talked at LENGTH about my stretching of a prompts#Rune Factory#Rune Factory 2#RF2#Rune Factory Rosalind#RF Rosalind#Rune Factory Max#RF Max#Best Coquilles Best Coquilles. Or at least my favorite. Always.#But YEAH Frank was /certain/ that if I went with a music focus then right right word is 'classic'#he insisted I should play on rf1's Rollabouti wine. Easy 'vintage.' But I wanted to draw a piano. And I'm not fond of alcohol.#And it's my pen. So! There! The debate went on SO long and was hilarious. All positive banter#What is an art prompt list except a reason to stretch the prompts as far as you can??#I like to imagine Max is VERY adamant about playing time music pieces on instruments from the composition's era#All his talking about pianos makes me want to hear a niche rant about them#I don't understand music at all but I'd listen and learn!#Margot's RF Art

sometimes i think about daigo interacting with the mundane and thinking about mine and i throw up a little bit ngl
#snap chats#yk what i mean. By Design the first thought that should come to mind with mine is money and expensive things#but instead of seeing expensive watches or flashy cars and thinking of mine i hope daigo thinks about how he liked his coffee#maybe daigo sees an interesting piece of art and wonders what mine wouldve thought of it#maybe daigo tries to read a little more on his downtime- what if mine always had a book on his desk when he'd visit#does daigo listen to classical music more nowadays ? maybe he stares at pianos a little too long now when he spots them#just. remembering the human aspects of mine instead of him being just a piggy bank#it's easy to do when he was/is also in a position where he was only valued for his money or authority/relation to authority#he's haunted! allegedly. in my opinion. haunted by anything and everything that reminds him of him#theres a time and place to be haunted but work hours is not it. until a mfer come into your room and be like#'lol remember that clan.that went under after its patriarch killed himself' and then you have fight the demons not to kill someone#anyway. im gonna sit on a fic of this for nine years while i work good bye everyone#i love it when daigos haunted its so rude#i try not to imagine daigo as solely a grieving widow for until the end of time. however he can have his moments#i think he's allowed to be melancholy about losing his ''''''''best friend''''''' sometimes

trying to restrain myself from hating on this dude in a music production server i'm in for sharing his AI music. dawg your work is soulless and sounds like it was made in a trash compactor
#and i am really open-minded about music especially as an amateur creator myself#but it is literally so easy to make your own music#midi software makes it so you don't even need a physical instrument#i literally only use my piano to make shit and just plug it into my computer#and you absolutely do not even need that#shit you don't even need a computer. just download FL or soundtrap to your phone and go crazy#sorry for the rant but like art is dying in real time

In the world of rock, Queen stands out as a good example of the clash between guitar and piano in songwriting. I think that’s where you stumble across those more unusual arrangements and chord structures.
In my heart I want to do more hard rock music, but at the same time, I’m much more attracted to the piano. I think that automatically causes something unusual to happen.
Also Smashing Pumpkins, even though they’re not piano-based. I always found their arrangements interesting, like on the album, Siamese Dream. In terms of guitar, I also like Rage Against the Machine and Jimi Hendrix.
But in terms of piano, I love Ben Folds, but to me, that’s a very different style of music. I love the low, heavy piano bit in “Jackson Cannery.” It made me realise if you want to get heavy, you have to get down there and hit some large chord.
Matt Bellamy on his influences and making a big sound | "Innocence And Absolution", Keyboard Magazine, June 2005
#Muse band#Matt Bellamy#the uniquely Muse sound#muse#muse interviews#2005#Keyboard Magazine#Absolution era#muse quotes#on songwriting#pianos#Queen band#Smashing Pumpkins#RATM#Jimi Hendrix#Ben Folds#the duality of this man#all this just makes me sit and think about how important it is to give people the time to grow and develop you know?#Matt wasn't born knowing how to make a unique sound. That develops over time you're allowed to just tinker away and tweak.#I don't know if musicians now are getting that space and chance. And of course it affects the quality of music being released.#You want fresh non-derivative music? Give artists the space to create! Smh. And I don't even mean uni programs and classrooms.#Just like the Irish artist UBI thing; grants; rehearsal spaces; that kind of thing. It's not easy! (esp not if you play a louder instrument

Did you guys know you can freestyle on the piano and it can sound good even if you don’t know shit about piano? Like you just put your fingers over five keys and hit them randomly it will sound good 100% of the time.
If you know six chords on ukulele you can write a song. Just grab a metronome and bust them out in random orders you like. It will sound good.
If you spend five minutes at a drum set you can figure out a decent simple beat.
And the best one yet is humming a song while you cook is free and you don’t even have to borrow and instrument.
Music is easy. You can create this, the most beautiful thing on this planet and you can do it.
#I knew so little about piano before I started practicing and like. Woah. You can just make music.#There isn’t some joke or some kind of secret irony here I mean all of this as genuinely as possible.#I am tired and full of love and joy. Music is easy.#ophidian lore

on the topic of music though i think theres something about it that just doesnt click with my brain? because i DID learn music theory, how to play instruments, i had a music instructor, etc. and frankly i still dont really get it.
(under readmore because this got long)
when i performed pieces on piano i was mainly sightreading, and the way i could tell i made a mistake was because my muscle memory got good enough that i would feel my hands being in the wrong position for the sheet music i was seeing before i processed that the note i was hearing myself play was incorrect.
(i CAN hear it! but my visual-spatial and proprioceptive processing are leagues faster. ex: if my left hand playing accompaniment was supposed to play notes 1 octave apart in succession and i hit a 6th interval instead, i can hear that its not quite right! HOWEVER whats more clearly and immediately evident to me is that my hand did not travel far enough across the keyboard to hit an octave.)
note or chord names do not connect to a specific note's sound to me, i can only read sheet notation, and if anything having the notes labelled on the staff (like how beginner books do) made it more difficult for me to understand. its like staff placement = finger placement. and the sound doesnt factor into that, it exists but it goes somewhere else or hits roadblocks before being properly processed.
i also could not for the life of me pass the part of the aural exams that had us listen to about a minute length excerpt of music (theyd play it twice, with the 2nd time upon request) and then identify the musical period, mood, when during the piece the dynamics or tempo changed (such as near the beginning, in the middle, or near the end), etc. "was it louder at the start or the end?" = impossible question. when new music starts playing nothing except for the sound in this exact current moment exists to my brain. once it stops playing its just gone. "did it get slower at any point?" bro what you just played does not even EXIST in my brain anymore.
like clearly my working memory is kind of trash here but i wonder if its something specific about auditory stuff that my brain doesnt get. because i can comment on like, an animation based on my first or second watch even if i dont get to pause/rewind/analyze it frame by frame. and i can learn a dance/choreo thats set to music. but music itself really feels like it goes in one ear and out the other. just slips through my fingers like it never existed.
#and forget about playing by ear!! idk how that shit works#you know how people say guitar is easy to learn? lmfaooooo Not Me#give me sheet music for anything on piano and i can figure it out. basic guitar chords? haha uhhhhhhh#'the chords are G sharp F sharp A and D sharp' Ill Kill You#idek if that sounds good. theyre just letters to me. i had to pretend to play those keys on a piano on my lap and judge based on feel#anyways if u read all that would love to hear ur thoughts. esp music people#because idk what any of this means if anything#.vxt#im also giftedly atrocious at learning how to speak new languages for someone who is already bilingual#in my later mandarin classes i would just write the answer. i could learn the characters. including the non cantonese ones#'correct! can you say this word out loud?' 'i know it in cantonese' 'can you say it in mandarin?' 'no'#ohh or 'japanese kana is easy its like learning an alphabet. just match the sounds to the symbols'#guess what. never happened. i can learn what kanji mean but i just cant figure out how to read the fuckin kana

Gonna try to arrange world's end valentine in beepbox. Will give up after 20 minutes. Wish me luck
#raey spam#one thing about me is that i can't read sheet music very well#so i do pretty much everything by ear#which is easy when you're singing and pretty hard when you're not.#although that might just be because i dont rlly play instruments#speaking of instruments zel and i are gonna learn final duet (<just picked violin back up like a week ago)#the biggest plot hole of omori is that sunny was playing final duet for his first recital With Vibrato after ~< 1 year of learning. smh#(this is actually probably possible considering sunny Used to play violin & mari was making him work v hard)#(but still. why are you learning vibrato at like 6 months go back to minuet 3 or whatever)#ngl i dont even know how hard final duet is i just took one look at the high notes and was like hey what the Fuck#WAIT IM ACTUALLY SO DUMB. THE HIGH NOTES R FOR THE PIANO.#its bc the violin is on the bottom line and im used to always reading the top#well. no there are still pretty high notes for the violin too#i was supposed to b talking about world's end valentine. woopsies

Playing music well takes a Lot of practice. I spend several hours a week practicing, and that's on top of my classes and homework.
...Except, I'm a musician for the sake of learning music. So I thought about what I would do if I were a musician for the sake of music magic.
I would learn one song. Memorization is a pain (admittedly, more for some instruments than others), so I would learn that one song really well, and then I would use it for everything. The party would get sick of that song so fast it's not even funny. They'd have that one song stuck in their heads for the end of time. They might snap and try to kill me.
The best way to preemptively stave off a murder attempt would be having a variety of songs prepared. Maybe just short excerpts, to lighten the effort needed to memorize each song. Mix them up often enough, maybe add new songs every once in a while, and it'll be fine.
Or, the bard can go full improv mode. Improvisation takes a solid understanding of music: with the melody so far, where's the natural place to go next? And, more importantly, what would be interesting?
Again, this would be more difficult on some instruments than others. But either way, the bard would have to be familiar with their instrument, and good at coming up with ideas on the fly. Both skills that can be improved with practice.
Not to say that (at least some) wizards wouldn't still hate bards. It'd be like med school students hating on humanity majors for having an 'easy' major.
Okay but can you imagine how frustrating being a wizard in dnd would be. Like. You spend so long, maybe even years, studying magic, reading books and working hard be well versed in magic and end up really smart.
Then you meet the other spellcasters and they’re just like
Cleric: I believe in God so I’m magic.
Warlock: I just had to ask cthulu for magic and they said yes.
Sorcerers: I was born with magic.
Druid: I just chilled in the forest and got magic.
Bard: I play the fiddle lmao
#as a classically trained pianist improvisation is. Not my strong suit.#only one voice on piano would sound empty. so it requires harmonization too.#singers would probably have the easiest time memorizing stuff#for obvious reasons#percussion could be easy to improvise because it's only rhythm#but i can tell you that string instruments take SO MUCH effort up front to get any degree of good#if a finger is a centimeter off people will Notice#i haven't actually met any premed students who hate humanities students#i've met one singular premed student. and they are double majoring in music. so.

tell me how I'm supposed to resist practicing until my fingers hurt when I'm deeply anxious and malagueña is in the back of my guitar book. i could hyperfixate all day
#i'm on a hot streak with guitar today too; some of the chord recognition practice is really starting to pay off#a lot of these practice excerpts are really pretty easy now that i can be like o yea its my friend the a minor chord#yea i know where my fingers go for this one! and the next one and the next one#i gotta practice to get smoother and pay attention to my musicality#and i still fall flat on my face trying to do rest strokes esp when the next note is on the next string#but maybe my teacher was right it's a good idea to go back to the exercises after awhile in the solo book#i'm curious to see what he has to say about position playing bc i think the way this book explains it is terrible#but it's easy to put into practice at least for a few phrases at a time like the example pieces#like. the notes stay put unless you change the tuning. so it's just a matter of moving your hands around so the reach isn't ridiculous#just like on piano we don't always have to have our thumb on middle c#anyway! i can't see myself playing fast enough for tremolo just yet but i LOVE malagueña and latin guitar in general so maybe i'll learn#maybe this will be the piece i learn it for#i love the cadenza with the melody in the bass note and the rising tension of the repeated notes in the treble it's so dramatic#love love love! to the extent that i have ignored everyone and everything in my life for an hour and a half#don't ask about that

Music teacher Eddie and student Steve.
Like, someone told Steve that marching band is easy credits, and he’s athletic. His parents made him take piano and clarinet lessons as a kid. Clarinet is a pretty easy instrument to march with; not too heavy, doesn’t have to hold it at a crazy straight angle like flutes or most of the brass instruments. He’s not a great musician or anything, but it doesn’t hurt his feelings if he ends up with 3rd or 4th part. The halftime shows are fun and he was never really into playing football so it’s not like he’s missing out on anything; this way, he still gets to watch the games. Sure, the trade off is having to sit in stupid concert band for the second half of the year, but only half; any other elective would be for the full haul. And it definitely doesn’t hurt that the new band director his senior year, Mr. Munson, is the youngest teacher on staff and brimming with infectious energy. The kind of guy you can tell used to be stick thin before his teenage metabolism kicked the bucket, and now he’s got kind of a belly and a sweet tooth that everyone knows about. A lot of the band girls have a huge crush on him, so he gets a lot of apples and also a lot of baked goods left on his desk, and he lets students call him by his first name, and he’s always down to soak up flattery—with a grain of salt. Steve has never once seen him flirt back; his best friend, Robin in the trumpet section, can confirm.
It’s not until accompanying Robin on her first venture into the gay bar in the next or two town over (with fake IDs, obviously) that Steve figures out why. Robin is absorbed in talking to a pretty redhead, and Steve has just bought himself a beer when someone bumps into him hard enough that he drops it.
“Shit, sorry about that!” says Mr. Munson. And usually, at school, he sticks to black slacks and plain shirts, but here? Form-fitting jeans that are more rip than black denim and well-worn band shirts that were probably bigger on him years ago, but now are on the tighter side. Hair loose instead of tied back, and he’s wearing eyeliner.
Steve, who can’t stop staring, has never really seen what all the girls do in the guy before, but now he gets it. And so can Mr. Munson. Eddie.
The double take when he recognizes Steve as a student is pretty priceless, and Steve can’t help messing with him, smirking a little while saying, “So this is what you’re doing instead of grading our music theory tests.”
And, well. Steve is eighteen. Eddie is in his early twenties. What’s the big deal if he asks a hot older man to dance instead of taking him up on that replacement beer? It’s not like it’ll be for more than once dance. Not like the crowded dance floor jostles them closer together, Eddie flailing a little as he stumbles forward and Steve catches him, faces close and accidentally brushing. Not like they’ll kiss for real a few electric-charged seconds later, or end up in a more out of the way corner making out. And no way would that turn into Eddie turning into a flustered mess any time he makes eye contact with Steve at school, or a series of serupticiously passed notes, or Steve making sure they “accidentally” run into each other more often off campus.
Under no circumstances will they kiss again, or get carried away making out against a dark wall somewhere and both need a change of pants, or go on a tentative date where Eddie doesn’t let Steve do any underage drinking but does let him drive Eddie home and come inside for a coffee. Absolutely zero chance of falling into bed together and each of them confessing to real feelings that only Robin (who constantly makes cradle robbing jokes but is so supportive of Steve that he’d kiss her if it wouldn’t gross both of them out, it’d be like kissing a sibling) knows about until after graduation.
… Right?
