Quirky little piece I wrote for Pomni! Iz not finished yet but wanted to show it off regardless :3 I wanted it to be an extension of Pomni's character, with a very distinct circus-y sound, a melancholic backbone and just enough dissonance to make it sound "off". Was partially inspired by the works of Danny Elfman, since he's my go-to for moody gothic music. Iz my first time making any of my music public so I rlly hope ya'll enjoy! Feedback is appreciated >v< Shoutout to @mikiib and @fervent-o-nine, you guys are awesome <3

Two Ontarians came together and created the awesomest new musical instrument??

One guy is a musician from Ottawa and has been toying with the design of a new instrument for 30 years, then he met a clockmaker and woodworker from Guelph who was eager to make this instrument a reality.

And it's absolutely beautiful. It's cylindrical and played with a bow, 10 equally spaced strings that you bow in different spots to change tensions and make a sound.

And the genius of it musically, is that it's cyclical so as you keep rotating the cylinder, you come back round to the first notes you struck (if you keep your bow still), and so you get these rhythmic, periodic repeating patterns that sound really ethereal, calming and hypnotic.

Apparently it made some listeners cry, and I was surprised before hearing it. Skilled playing can make people cry, sure. Melodies, harmonies, all that stuff, definitely. The open instrument itself? If you just eyeballed bowing a cello you'd drive people far away, I'd reckon. I certainly would.

But I saw a clip of it in action, I can definitely see it now.

They called the instrument Fron2. A new Canadian musical instrument!

I made a timeline of all the nameless ghouls

I let the hyperfixation take over last night, and here we are. Hopefully this can help newcomers and fanfic writers alike, haha.

Also I was somewhat sleep deprived when I made this so please lmk if any information is wrong.

i've listened to preacher's daughter plenty of times but somehow just recently realized how stunning the transition between august underground and televangelism is.

hearing isiah's footsteps is one thing and extremely haunting but that chord that grows and grows and then explodes into televangelism.... good lord.

i've always loved how both ethel's physical death on earth and her ascension to heaven are represented here and the way you can hear the exact moment the transition happens makes it hit so much harder.

also if i recall correctly hayden has said televangelism is her favorite song of hers and that makes me so happy cause it was one of the main standouts of the album for me the moment i first heard it and songs like this are often dismissed as "just interludes" even though they can be some of the most emotionally powerful moments on an album.

‘Connie’s theme’ might actually be one of the most beautiful and personal instrumentals a fictional character has ever gotten. I’m NOT kidding when I tell you her theme violently rips the actual heartstrings out of my chest.

I just love how gentle it is! The major-minor progression throughout the song makes it feel like you’re listening to her journey as a developing teenager/her personality on its own. You really walk through her many feelings and sides to her: she can be unsure of herself as she’s carefully experiencing many firsts with Steven, but she can also be so very confident, funny, silly, empathic, caring and smart. I feel like I can really hear all of this back in the song!

I also like how the violin slowly takes the lead throughout her song, because it’s the instrument her parents initially made her play. I like to think the violin taking over the melody in the second half is Connie taking control over her life: finding a purpose and individuality after learning how to set healthy boundaries towards her parents, and after she learns how to set emotional boundaries for herself. Learning to be with Steven, but not live for just him.

I also like to think the tiny keyboard “sparkles” symbolise Steven helping her along and guiding her on this journey.. Do not get me started on the use of this theme in the show (like with stevonnie) because I will NOT shut up. Actually I could yap your ear off about all of the music in SU like the diamonds themes etc. This one just sticks out to me a little more 💗

Excuse the rambling but music just makes me feel so darn much. I AM walking down the aisle to this song period. If you read all of this 5 big booms to you 💥💥💥💥💥
