#jenny makes music

[ahsoka-its-all-of-us]

Thanks to this funky comic by @1ncend1ary I had no choice but write and record the full Thrawn song because I am a totally normal person 👀💦

My very classically trained ass is not used to producing music like this lmaoooo 😅 and the autotune did not agree with my vibrato whoops, had to try my hardest to keep that under control

Because I'm not a tenor this song is technically not a good fit for my range, so I could have transposed it like a normal person, but instead I decided to play around with the octaves and I think it's kinda funky this way too? I did overdrive my poor earphones mic at some point though rip

if you like this kinda crap: I have a music blog named @transcriptions-of-unknown-music :3

[alastheswarmleaderhasescaped]

Cryoshell, and specifically Gravity Hurts, was suggested by multiple people including @toatanamon, @gibiuswrecks, @doctosleepytired and @nowhen-but-now, so I threw together a little piano cover of it!

I did this at a free moment at work so the piano is a bit out of tune, and also there might be some interference because the room I was in was right above the percussion rooms and there were people practising there, but hey, the idea is there. Hope you all like it!

Keep the suggestions coming, I love this!

BIONICLE music fans, I need your help

Remember that I once wrote a funky BIONICLE Suite using themes from multiple movies/games etc., for an assignment? If not, it's here:

(here is the post on my dedicated music blog @transcriptions-of-unknown-music btw)

This suite is very dear to me: I scored top marks in my Arranging class with it, and later won a conducting audition with it. And now, in about a year or so, I will be getting the chance to perform it with a professional symphony orchestra. Like a full orchestra instead of the weird ensemble it was originally written for.

BUT

I need to reinstrumentate it, of course, but that also means that I can update it. The original assignment had a time limit of four minutes; this time I don't have that restriction, so I can basically do whatever the fuck I want.

And this is where I need the fandom's help.

I have a pretty solid base idea of what to do with it, but I want to put in as many nods to the width of BIONICLE as possible. The original suite was based on the music of the first three movies with motifs from mostly the MNOGs thrown in, because those are what mostly marked my personal BIONICLE experience, but BIONICLE is more than that. It's also the GBA games, the console games, the songs, the commercials, the online episodes, the later flash games, the Piraka rap, the singing squid, and so on. Which brings me to what I need you all for:

Please let me know your favourite BIONICLE music!

It could be literally anything; from an entire game soundtrack to just the drum rhythm during one specific section of a game. I'd love to know what BIONICLE music you love or is important to you!

What will I do with this information?

Currently I'm already working on gathering motifs and soundtracks into one musical book, transcribing them into notes and bringing them down to their core elements. This will serve as my vocabulary, of sorts: if I have a collection of themes at my disposal, it will be much easier to see if and how they fit together.

Here is an example of a piece from the Templar episodes that I 'collected': (it sounds off because it's MIDI, but what I did here was write down the actual notes so I can transcribe it for other musicians)

Please don't hesitate to let me know your favourite BIONICLE music (and also feel free to tell why a certain piece is important to you)! There is no time limit to this; you may always reblog or reply to this post, and my ask box is also open!

Hope you all can help me make this a real community thing, showing our Unity!

Listened to the latest WCD episode and I had to turn it off. Like, am I technically making myself upset, yeah. But it's like, actually making me think about how much I don't like that apparently a thing was happening, and there's less of an open interpretation now, among other things.
