PUMA! YOU CHANGED YOUR ICON, AND YOUR THEME :O

I did!!! Finally someone noticed :P

So after like seven years (or more) I decided to change it to a different picture of a black cat. I might get a different picture of a different black cat, hmm....

But the theme was for halloween!

And I think I might change my entire theme soon because I need a change. But my username is still wisepuma23!!!

I don’t think I’ll change that part at least.

This might be a loaded question (?) I'm not sure, but I really want to learn how to write music, and I've got little snippets of bips and bops here and there, but do you have any tips of how to write/compose a song on the piano? Have you ever written anything before? Thanks! :-)

Hi! Sounds like you’re already writing music a little bit, so my first thought is you should keep doing whatever got you to this point! Personally I haven’t written much music. A few composition exercises for theory class and the occasional improvisation when I forget to prepare reflection music for my church job is the extent of my songwriting.

But from analyzing a lot of music I can tell you that the great composers and songwriters simply start with a snippet, or a bip and a bop here and there, and they expand it into a whole sonata or symphony or Top 40s hit. For instance, take a tune you’ve written and do these things to it…

Write another phrase that starts just like the first one but goes down instead of up at the end. Now you have what classical theorists call an “answer phrase.”

Turn your tune upside down (every step up becomes a step down, every third up becomes a third down…)

Imagine that your phrase is the opening act of a story. What would happen next?

Turn your major tune into a tragic version in its relative minor key.

To come up with something new:

Be very technical: an exercise in 4-part voice leading, theory class style, can be expanded into a chorale style piano piece

Be very imaginative: what color is sadness, and what does that color sound like at the piano??

Steal. Take the chord progression from a Beatles song and play it in whatever style you think Beethoven sounds like.

Improvise 15 minutes a day even if it sounds terrible/boring. You’ll get more comfortable creating sounds and ideas will come.

Those are the first things that come to mind…mostly my observations of how other people compose. Songwriters/composers of Tumblr, anything to add?

Other ideas: take a songwriting class in college, check out composition/songwriting books at the library, ask a friend who plays in a band.

Happy Halloween! Here’s me in a COMPLETELY thrift store made Alexander Hamilton costume on Sunday!

[taikoturtle]

prompt idea: trimberly going on a picnic together where Trini used to meditate! :-)

“Where are you taking me?”

“Don’t peek yet, we’re almost there.”

“I’m blindfolded. I’m pretty sure I can’t see a thing.”

Stumbling along uneven footing, Trini hears the chirping of birds off in the distance and feels the shifting ground crumbling beneath her feet and she knows they’re in the quarry. Kimberly had the bright idea of surprising her for their first year anniversary, which resulted in Trini blindfolded for that extra ‘wow’ factor.

Kimberly’s unbridled excitement and giddiness makes Trini’s heart do flips, and despite the cheesiness of it all, she’s always secretly wanted this lovey dovey shit but just never imagined it would ever come true; until now.

They stop after several more minutes and a couple more stumbles. Kimberly’s firm grip on her hips leaves and is replaced with rustling.

“Can I take this damn thing off?”

“No!” Kimberly shouts in a panic. “Just - just give me two more seconds.”

Trini chuckles sarcastically before muttering into the wind. “You know, when I first pictured us using blindfolds, this wasn’t exactly what I had in mind.”

She can practically feel Kimberly’s embarrassment radiating off her body, but then firm hands grip her shoulders and then rotates her to the right.

“Okay, now you can open your eyes.”

Ripping off the offending itchy cloth, Trini blinks momentarily from the sunlight before her eyes widen in awe.

They’re on top one of the highest cliffs in the quarry, one of the many places that Trini would visit in her own solitude to clear her mind, far away from the tumultuous clamor of the city. When being in the house became too much or when the disappointment in her parents’ voices weighed heavily in her heart, this became her home away from home.

A square red and white checkered blanket like something straight out of a romance movie lay safely from the edge with a woven basket and a bottle of wine sticking out of the lid. Trini doesn’t question how Kimberly got her hands on it, but she knows she has family problems of her own and doubts that her parents would even miss it.

Trini’s absolutely speechless.

She’s never had anyone do this for her. Nobody ever made her feel so special, let alone give her the time of day, but here Kimberly has done it all and gone above and beyond.

Kimberly fidgets in place, her eyes trained nervously on the shorter girl.

“I hope you like turkey sandwiches. I wanted to keep it kind of simple so… yeah.”

Trini’s eyes sweep over the spread, over the love that’s gone into the whole preparation, over the entire location. She feels the welcoming breeze on her skin and sees the overlooking town and it builds and builds until her heart burgeons with such powerful emotion that she can barely contain it from exploding out like the fourth of July.

“Trini…?”

There’s a crackling in her chest and the fireworks light up the sky in her heart and she realizes it’s far too late to hold it back.

Her vision starts to blur and it’s taking all her strongest willpower for it not to flow out like a river, but Kimberly sees the mist in her eyes and her expression turns to one of utter disbelief.

“Oh my god, are you crying?”

Trini punches her girlfriend in the shoulder before pulling her into a tight hug. Kimberly’s arms wrap around her smaller frame and she feels warm and safe and everything that a home should feel like.

“Thank you.”

Kimberly ruffles her hair and smiles. “Happy anniversary.”
