#i know nothing about music theory

[dunderbread]

that original “relationship between drummer and bassist” post is good but there were some misconceptions in the comments I feel the need to clear up. bass is actually the service top instrument of the band. drummers are either tops or power bottoms no in between. guitarists insist they’re tops but they’d bottom for a gust of wind and everyone knows it. vocalists can be anything but no matter what they are there’s no denying or hiding it. keyboardists are switches.

(im completely correct about this very serious analysis btw and you cannot present me evidence to the contrary <- sarcasm)

Finally finished my charts for the upcoming translyric projects I want to do and ough... these are going to be so much harder than my first two ;---;

Gets the tumblr bells and immediately tries to play the pmd time gear theme with them

My drawing tablet's still being weird. Not being able to draw with it makes me sad, so I've been making more music to compensate.

The rhythm is still somehow a little similar to my other songs. I guess my subconscious is really attached to that kind of beat.

[Wish I made this one sound less lifeless, but oh well. Good enough!]

[Ignore the silence at the end, I don't know how to get rid of it.]

[Would anyone be interested in being tagged when I make new music? If you are, let me know and I'll make a taglist :D]

As your friendly neighbourhood Melkor fan, I feel obliged to show this to you all. :D

Especially @stellavesperis because music theory. (Others may want to watch the video from the beginning, not the timestamp I linked).

What's the moral of the video? I have no idea. Except probably "we don't understand the world as well as we think". And it did remind me of Ainulindale, so I posted it.

After pondering on it for several days, I have officially decided I did not like the direction of KFP4 and have banished it from my brain. It is no longer canon. KFP4? What's that? Don't know what you're talking about.

[priafey]

here's a quick drawing of @azures-grace's last dragonborn, Iriae, to accompany the song I wrote for her!! it's inspired by tidbits of her lore from azure's fic, and from OC ask prompts azure has answered on their blog (especially the one where they wrote that Iriae's favorite music genre would be indie, and that she'd like making her own music)

Lyrics below the cut ⬇️

I’m at home in bed At 9pm On a Friday night

Making wishes I know no one else Can hear

Involving kisses And other things That I fear

I’m gettin’ scared I think I’ll never Shine too bright

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

It’s time to go to sleep When it’s quiet all around Into my mind, I retreat

I’d do it every damned second Of every day If I thought it could make my pain Go away But I know my daydreams never hit the Same

So maybe I’ll just wait…

For me to be in bed at home At 9pm On a Friday night

Counting blessings I know no one else Can see

Forsaking lessons Everything they Taught to me

I’m losing nerve I think we never Had the right

🎵🎵🎵🎵🎵

It’s time to go to sleep When it’s quiet all around Into my mind, I retreat

I’d do it every damned second Of every day If I thought it could make my pain Go away But I know my daydreams never hit the Same

So maybe I’ll just…

I’ll let myself indulge Start to think ‘bout Who I might be like

Who could I become? Will it matter If all else burns alight?

Where should we run? Into the arms of another Lie

So as I’m

Lying in bed at home At 9 pm On a Friday night

Right then and there Is where I decide I’ll be alright

To you, I ask What if the tunnel’s Made of light?

With what’ll we Contend?

What happens when we End?

Are there any fans out there with actual experience in music theory who can write on how wonderfully crafted and perfectly implimented the Midst soundtrack is?

Cause all i know to say with my bare-bones knowledge is mmmm chacter themes. I love when i hear Phineas' leitmotif during conversations that mention him. I love how his character theme feels trepedatious at the start, and then swells into this grand, epic thing when he makes a leap into the unknown. I love the way that his full theme always plays when he makes a decision for himself, because the crux of his character arc is indecision and lacking a sense of self. I love the caution of the begining of his theme and the way it builds into this final, crystal clear crescendo and how it reflects the way he always feels most certain when in mortal peril. I love that when you strip away all of that epic instrumentation, that cautious, uncertain throughline, that Phineas core remains beneith it all. I love that its that core that's used as Phineas' leitmotif.

so there's a Stop Making Sense cover album coming out in honor of the movie's 40th anniversary, and i listened to the preview tracks that are out, and the best thing about it so far, for me, is that its reminded me that Girlfriend is Better is a really fucking good song

[honey-bell-aint-well]

The strings make friends with the other instruments :D

Also, I finally figured out how to get rid of that weird silence at the end!!

Edit: Thank you for the compliments!! I really appreciate them :D Sorry for not responding directly, I don't feel much like talking at the moment ^^;

someone who can actually identify musical notes, when alex sings "that's quite a number to sing" in big ideas what note is that on "sing" (the very last one on that word, the deep one) and can you confirm if that's one of his lowest notes ever pls

Rambling because I watched AOTD again

I love that with the fight with Salacia the possession motif makes a lil comeback with the ( don’t wanna call it dethlights but like ) dethlights and it’s more hopeful. Like instead of it being over powering and the most dominant part of the song its brief and it tries to layer itself into dominance ( like how Salacia became whole ) but is quickly drowned out ( it’s kinda like a reprise of the demon within it sounds similar but with the guitars and the drums it’s a whole new thing )

Like this is the first time you hear the motif

Then the last time at 0:48

You also hear it a little in The Arm about half of the motif is in the root(?) notes(?) the bass part of the song which is appropriate cause it’s when Salacia’s first really getting into MFs head but isn’t entirely in there yet.

You also hear it in The Secret Visit ( yussss )

Like it takes a bit it starts at 0:48 it’s dominating the song like crazy. This is when Salacia goes “ hey I’m gonna rattle your windows and scare the shit out of you “

You hear it BRIEFLY and god I mean BRIEFLY during Seeking it’s literally so faint it’s at 1:33 that’s so cool I never noticed that ( I’m listening to the soundtrack rn ). This is when Salacia literally digs his shadowy ass fingers into MFs head and extracts the knowledge I hate him that’s so wicked.

I do like tho, that you can’t hear the motif during The Keep. Cause you’re so distracted by everything else that it’s only the people directly connected to Salacia ( Croizer and MF ) who are affected ( affected? ) cause it would make sense to hear it but you don’t Slacia does make an appearance in that scene not physically but he’s there

Wicked fun. I love this movie sm. I’m sure there’s other motifs that I’m missing I just specifically am focused on this one 😭😭
