[notlob-sims]

yes, Joanne Hogg's time had come

she lived a pretty darn good life. she was besties with her daughter and her granddaughters. when she wasn't doting on the babies she was painting and working as a substitute teacher.

she was a pretty low-key, low maintenance sim, really epitomized what I like about elders in ts2.

Graham and Vivian playlist

Playlists for Graham and Vivian, because… why the fuck not? I’m physically and mentally exhausted so this is a nice way of relaxing between laundry. So for Graham and Vivian separately, the songs are things I can see them listening to and enjoying. For the combined songs, I’m definitely thinking about their relationship and its various stages. Graham:

“Time in a Bottle” by Jim Croce “Father’s Son” by Tori Amos “Vakaren” by Katatonia

Vivian:

“Parce mihi domine” by Cristobal de Morales, performed by Jan Garbarek and The HIlliard Ensemble “Snow, Lots of Snow” by Mark Sparling “The Old Ways” by Loreena McKennitt

Both:

“Future Awaits” by Yasunori Mitsuda featuring Joanne Hogg’s beautiful singing voice “If we were Destined” by BEN “Feels like it’s Over” by Darren Hayes

[anonofseasons]

I'm sharing a lot of the playlist I listened to while writing Seasons! :) One of the most important tracks for this is The Past by Yasunori Mitsuda This is a beautiful track that has an edge of sadness to it. (The original version is called Tanjou) I don't know if it was the prolonged winter in Seasons, but both of these winter tracks from Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town and My Time at Portia played frequently while I typed this story. I know I linked this in one of my author's notes, but Future Awaits - yes, another Mitsuda track, vocals by Joanne Hogg - really reminds me of Graham and Vivian struggling. Though the song is far more hopeful. :') (This song dropped with the DLC when I was typing up some emotional parts of their relationship, and... I don't know. It reminded me a lot of Graham especially, regarding his human life.) Annnnd I discovered this soundtrack existed recently, and The Devil is just a very beautiful song by... Yasunori Mitsuda... As usual, my works are written to Mitsuda, mainly. BUT! Also, Yoko Shimomura, because Prayer de Luna is just such a sad song that feels... isolating and final. And I wouldn't be me without some songs that featured in KHUX, like Tears of the Light (I wrote Howie's running away to this song) and the final staff roll of Dearly Beloved (BEST DB, don't talk to me) Lastly, Doubt by John Graham (lol just realized that name) from Kingsglaive is short but feels so... sad and haunting. This came up with Howie's running away chapters too.

Fun fact about the song that plays at the end of dlc, the person who sings it is actually a person who sang the ending song from Xenogears!

I did know this! Joanne Hogg is great.

The ending song is beautiful.

Joanne Hogg - A Xeno Series Tribute (TRAILER)

After over 25 years, Joanne Hogg became the mainstay singer for the Xeno series after she came back to do the ending theme for Future Redeemed. And yet, no one has made a compilation or presentation about how her work means so much to Xeno fans. This will all change soon.

Tune in 7.29.2023 at 12:00 PM EST on the XenoLuxqer YouTube channel (link is at the bottom) for a showcase of Joanne Hogg’s vocal work on the Xeno series.

-With visuals from the games accompanying the music in the background.

-Karaoke lyrics for anyone who wants to sing along.

-Messages provided by well-known fans of Xeno series music

I hope you all enjoy this trailer I put together!

[noisepartythumpingmusic]

!!!!!!!!!!!!! Joanne Hogg?????????

Not very far into Future Redeemed yet but the studio that handles the ost has confirmed on twitter that the singer we heard in the trailer (and in the game at some point) is in fact the same one from (among other things) the Xenogears ending theme and I just

The Ouroboros of it all

13 & 15 for the ask game! ♥️

Thank you! :D 13. Do you listen to music while you write?  If yes, what have you been listening to recently? Yes, definitely! Most of my music consists of Yasunori Mitsuda. I didn't know about the Tsugunai: Atonement OST until recently (weirdly enough?), and I'm digging the music so much. Combine that with the recently released collab of Mitsuda and Joanne Hogg ("Future Awaits") and me listening to a lot of Shadow Hearts soundtracks... yeah, mostly Mitsuda with some Yoshitaka Hirota, although a lot of the songs from SH that I love most are Mitsuda's, like "Old Smudged Map" and "Tanjou"/"The Past". Annnnd there's also the game version of "Astaroth" (it's slightly different from the one on the OST) I've also listened to a lot of "Uncharted Worlds" from Mass Effect OST, and "Vizima: Trade Quarter (Peaceful Moments)" from The Witcher lately, too. 15. What’s your favorite time to write? Nighttime/early morning. When the world is dark and quiet, I can focus a bit more. Usually. :D

[firespirited]

Today’s film: The Souvenir (2019) I hemmed and hawed over watching this, a young woman gets caught up with a man with a dark secret - yeah yeah we’ve all seen it in fifty different variations.

All I can say is the director has an eye for beautiful and clever visuals (mirrors and framing, great camera work) and Tilda Swinton is excellent at her job (though outshined by Richard Ayoade as a bit character who delivers ev-er-y-thing).

Here’s the thing, it could have worked but the main actors lack chemistry: you definitely don’t get why she’d find him exciting let alone charming and she’s far too understated when she’s supposed to be stressed out of her mind. They also both lack the physicality of what their characters are going though, he has outbursts from time to time but lacks all the tics and bite. She retains her poise and prettiness even when alone, she doesn’t even ugly-cry or look sick when she’s ill. It’s hard to relate when the actors seem to be performing a stress they can’t fully imagine.

I’m sure Joanne Hogg will do fantastic work once she devotes her talent to just the filmmaking and lets someone else write the scripts and cast the actors. She’s got the skills, she needs to find that storytelling collaborator.

A set of words by Andy Rogers:

On the north coast of Ireland where I live you’ll find some epic, beautiful scenery. However, hidden under this rugged landscape are some dark and forgotten sea caves which are rarely visited.

The Cave Sessions started out as an idea to find a cave with great acoustics, take a guitar and do a simple recording of some new songs.

In the process we ended up rediscovering songs that were written in a cave by a musician around 3000 years ago in the Middle East. At the time he was on the run, being hounded by his powerful but insecure father-in-law because of some political shenanigans.

He hid in caves and wrote songs from his experiences.

Those songs have been handed down to this day. We don’t have the original music but we do have his lyrics; words which have comforted and inspired generations ever since.

So we (Joanne Hogg, Stu Reid & I) took his words and recorded our own songs based on what he wrote.

What started life as a simple idea morphed into a full blown recording project. Effectively setting up a live recording studio in a dark and damp cave with an amazing team of musicians!
