- 1 hour workout
- worked a little on flask. Spotify API doesn't give us access to the number of times we've played a song or how many minutes we've listened :') but I can still save the top artists/songs/genres per month
- practiced new chords and hand placements on the piano

♪ blue's theme - ALL OF THEM (mostly)
mr. character development's tangible rehab from a stupidly evil power hungry bastard who has committed treason against every country to an idiot pacifist with a zebra print fedora, a moped and a license to teach yoga
( note: the 'mostly' comes from two things; one, the very very first version of this song sucked, and two, there are versions that are mostly identical )
#dreamswap#fatal flaws#ds blue#music closet#music#audio#lucian lebeau#if you notice the granny piano version from that one post from december isn't here#I thought I made the granny piano version way later than I did#turns out it has the same exact instrument tracks as the evil childhood bedroom version. so it's actually older than I thought#so I just decided to leave it out. since they're basically the same#blue's journey from being mr evil to becoming a meme character#I'm pretty sure I haven't made this many versions of the same song… for any other character…

Main theme of ISAT music analysis yaaayyyy yippieeee
big thanks to @ asterythm on discord for the music sheets i am forever endebted to you. here's their post with their stuff! GO GIVE THEM SOME LOVE DICTATION IS HORRIFIC. https://www.tumblr.com/starsalive/755820156323774464/isat-title-theme-piano-sheet-music-for-solo [somebody who actually knows what they're doing @cocoisindecisive responded with corrections, so the edits are gonna be in these brackets!! i couldn't leave this unedited because it felt wrong] Since they've only done the main theme, i'm just gonna pick apart that. Big fuckin text post + absolute raving and ranting!! please tell me there is a functional line break here PLEA
ISAT's OST is very economical in that it constantly reuses one central motif. I want to go on a very brief tangent to cover this motif because I feel like that's worth doing. ---What the fuck is a motif?--- i want you to repeat something with me, okay? deep breaths. A MOTIF AND A LIETMOTIF ARE NOT THE SAME. A MOTIF AND A LIETMOTIF ARE NOT THE SAME !!! PLEASE DONT USE THEM INTERCHANGEABLY MY HEART HURTS EVERY TIME !!!!!! thank you. so, a motif is a little piece of music information - usually a melody, but not always, i think? - that is reused and changed. It doesn't represent anything, really. That's the difference between it and a lietmotif - a lietmotif represents a person place or thing, and a motif just doesn't. ---Great, So what's the motif?--- it has two parts, this first part:
(this is repeated with the last 3 notes moved down a tone.) *[this is a LIE how did i think this, i literally just had to LOOK]*
this is the second part:
(which has the last part change a little bit when repeated in order to resolve.) There's some nice rythmn made with the dotted crotchet and the quaver, but nothing crazy like syncopation. It's mostly conjunct, but there's one or two little leaps in the melody. It's a fairly basic melody -- perfect for changing and adjusting to the needs of each piece.
this is used in every single track in the game! I'm not kidding, it's in every single one, try and listen for it! it's a very smart use of a motif. Onto the actual piece of music!
[to quote directly - "you dont mention that the "second part" of the motif is very similar to the first statement but with it's first measure having it's intervals being inverted (and the final eighth note keeping the pitch of the dotted quarter note). or that the second measure is again similar just that the missing C from the first measure is now the downbeat of this measure, and the B that used to be the downbeat is now and 8th note preceding the new downbeat. (plus the first statement of this second iteration changing the final three pitches so that its a stepwise walkdown from G to E)" - i knew something was different, just not what exactly, thank you for correcting me] --Main Theme--
It uses the motif as it's melody (see above), and while I won't cover that again, I will cover the harmony! The instruments are fairly simple, there's a chiptune piano and some kind of strings (?) helping with the harmony in the background. The two play together throughout.
While the key will obviously change between pieces and songs, harmony is a very important and sneaky way to hide meaning in a piece. Harmonies are also very hard and hurt my brain, so if i'm wrong feel free to tell me. (Also i hate reading bass clef)
[Dsus -> Esus4 -> G (kindanotreally) -> A sus4 -> A // ii -> iii -> V -> VI] A lot of suspended chords - suspended chords don't really hold on major or minor, so this leaves it feeling a bit unstable + airy. But, each suspended chord eventually resolves onto the major of each chord, so it still feels major. The thing that decides if a chord is major or minor is generally the second note in that chord - 3 semitones away from the first note on a major chord, and 2 on a minor chord. Suspended chords have the second note be either 1 (BUT IT'S NAMED SUS2????) or 4 semitones away (sus2 / sus4). This lets it dance around either, and it keeps tension until it resolves into either one. [ to quote directly again - "and then the chord progression you outline seems like gobbeldygook to me. measure 1's downbeat is not a Dsus chord, it's pretty clearly a power chord, and it leads into an F not an Esus4. measure 2 is mostly fine though, only think is that it is definitelly a G chord! if you wanted to be pedantic you could say it's a Gomit5 but i really wouldnt bother specifiying that and whoops your roman numerals are wrong! the big issue is that this 2 bar phrase DOES contain a tonic chord. in fact its the first of the measure! this is pretty clearly in D dorian, but i think you've confused it for C major since they share a key signature. but nope! given that correction and the ones above the roman numerals looks more like a [I -> III -> IV -> V]." YEAH IM REALLY BAD AT THIS I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY 😭😭]
[Dsus -> F -> G -> Gsus -> Asus4 (kind of???????) // ii -> IV -> V -> ii -> ii] this little countermelody continues (i'm not sure if it's because i'm looking at the piano version and OOPS it's too late now, or because there is just a countermelody. what am i saying this would be countermelody either way????) and layers quavers over a crochet and minim harmony. The harmony itself mirrors the same as before - loads of sus chords with occasional, brief resolutions to major chords. But, what's weird is that I haven't seen a single I / Tonic chord yet? there's not a single chord that's just the first note of the key. That's kinda weird - most pieces even start with that. There's something there - technically, we're not at the start of the journey, we're at the very end of it, the very end of this year-long journey that all of the character's have been taking. [ corrections: "closer with measures 3-4 its just that measure 4 is an an Asus4 to A and that adjusting for you being in the wrong key the chord progression is still that same [I -> III -> IV -> V]" ]
[Esus -> Gsus2 -> C -> Esus -> Gsus2 -> C // iii -> V -> I -> iii -> V -> I] WHOOPS I LIED. there's the tonic chord! there's C! There's a good reason for a tonic to appear here, though - we have a perfect cadence, and that is very interesting. Those roman numerals are about the placement of a chord within a key. kind of - it's important for stuff. A cadence is the harmonic ending to a phrase - in this case, a perfect cadence, from V -> I. This sounds "complete" to our ears, it feels like the piece could end there. what's weird is that it repeats twice, and keeps going on the second one. Furthermore, the melodic phrase is ending here, the motif is ending. This would be a far more "complete" ending if it stopped here. But it doesn't.
It changes from block chords to ostinatos (MIGHT BE THE WRONG NAME.), but each of these semi quaver / demi semi quaver progressions return back to one note while playing out a countermelody at the same time, still allowing for some kind of harmony. This change also builds up the pace in the piece, letting it build to the ending - this is the only thing that really drives the piece beyond this point, this building rythmn. Even then, it stops on this little crotchet chord! And then keeps going, into what is probably the most interesting part. [corrections - "a couple of things wrong with this one. first of all i analyzed the chords for measures 5-8 as [Fmaj7 -> Gadd9 -> Amin7 -> Cmaj7-> Fmaj7 -> Gadd9 -> E -> A] with roman numerals: [III-> IV -> V -> V/III -> III -> IV -> V/V -> V]. no PAC here! also, even if this was actually in the key of C major there is no V -> I in the bass and none of the soprano movement need to be an actual PAC. just a bunch of movements by fifth :]. you say the rythym is the only thing pushing the piece forward, and while it sure is definitely a fun effect that's building some nice tension the constant movement by fifth's is definitely also contributing to the tone. be wary of blaming an entire piece's success on one element!"]
[Asus -> Gsus -> G -> Esus4 // VI -> V -> V -> iii] In terms of intrumentation, something weird happens here - the chiptune piano falls away into a far more real-sounding one, while the strings stay the same within this section. in terms of harmony, again! tons of suspended chords, with one or two resolutions that keeps the piece feeling major. This cadence is. Weird. [V -> iii] isn't really a resolution at all, and as far as i could find it doesn't have a formal name the way some others do. some parts resolve (the E notes) but others don't, (the A notes), so it ends up feeling only half-satisfying. This makes sense - the music is gonna loop, because this is game music, so it does make sense to have it not resolve. But. It resolved perfectly eariler - we did have a perfect cadence. So then, why break into this tiny little two bar ending, that doesn't even resolve? That can smoothly go back onto itself, and also back into the beginning of the piece? This part is quieter, the demi semi quavers have rested back into minims, and it feels a little bit like an anti-climax to the build from earlier - it doesn't feel like a dramatic ending that the build was maybe working towards, more like a quiet moment. Despite that, the texture in this two bar section never thins - the piano is never left behind by the strings - the strings don't get quieter either, just the piano. Why is this two bar section here, then? Why end on this, and not on the part before? Two bars, huh. What a strange number to choose. [corrections - "chord progession is: [A -> G -> E -> A]. i'd argue that the previous secondary dominant to the A tonicized the A, placing us in the key of the domimant (A minor). so because of that i''d say the roman numerals are [I -> VII -> V -> I].
maybe pedantic but i dont think its actually that weird or bizzare of a choice for the chiptune melody to be replaced by an acoustic(-sounding) piano. the isat soundtrack consistently uses both acoustic and virtual instruments! this is just establishing that and letting the listener know to expect more of this specific element of the soundtrack. as title themes tend to do!
and the piece is quite resolved by the end actually. if i believed what you believed about the sheet music and never listened to the track i could see how i could think that, but giving the track a listen and using your ear to sus out details reveals how resolved it actually is!" thank you for the corrections im real bad at this]
#isat#in stars and time#OKAY JUST IN CASE THE ENDING OF THIS POST WASN'T CLEAR ENOUGH. I think that last part is meant to represent the time loops at the end of /1#/ the journey. the time loop is across two days - the final part is two bars. The journey before is represented by everything before that /#the motif - the buildup - everything leading to a final boss. And then there's two bars of quiet - the piano is quieter and weaker /3#but the strings are just as loud - siffrin is quieter but his party are right behind him. But in this theme it doesn't resolve or end. /4#Furthermore - the chiptune piano? this cheery fake-sounding instrument? it falls away here to show the real sound underneath it /5#But the strings persist - they stay the same. DO I HAVE TO SPELL IT OUT?? Siffrin is so tied to the piano in the ost and this is evidence f#IM GOING CRAZY THIS IS SO GOOD RAAAHHHHH#THE BRAINROT IS REAL

Hi!! I love this series so much, and as someone who hasn’t really drawn since they were a kid but wants to start as a hobby, do you have any advice for sort of learning to doodle on paper and get better at it? I want to start but I don’t really know how/where
The most important step in getting better at any skill is Persistence and Consistency. Practice and keep practicing! The best way to do that is to keep it fun! Picking a project helps generate ideas (e.g. drawing Pokémon, or characters from a series you like). There are also a ton of monthly prompt lists out there!
I also highly recommend scheduling in a 'drawing/practice' time in your day. For me, I started with 30-60 min before bed (bonus: its a good 'no screentime' activity), and the habit took root there.
There are a lot of 'technical' things to study but find the fun first. At a certain point you will discover you've hit a wall, and have a specific aspect/goal you want to target (colour theory, anatomy, lighting, comic layout). Then it's time to go looking for resources.
Once you have the habit and some goals, go collect some inspiration! Find people who inspire you and study their work!
Another little 'art skill builder' I recommend is the Shrimp Method! Only if you find technical challenges like this fun though (Example of one of my studies below)
#art faqs#TL;DR: Step 1 is 'Just start drawing'. Step 2 is 'Keep on drawing'. Step 3 is 'Hit a wall and start studying only as much as you want'#Step 4: keep it fun and keep drawing.#I think this is where artists who start young have the advantage over adult learners#because adults try to tackle art at the technical point first!#AND THAT JUST FEELS LIKE A CHORE!!#When I got into piano & string instruments I started by just doodling around. Banging out the tunes and experimenting.#The low pressure made it fun! I started lessons because I wanted to learn more!#I personally own quite a few art textbooks! Some are workbook/prompt-based (to help me get started)#and some are actual textbooks! But I certainly didn't start by reading a textbook.#I *highly* recommend Scott McCloud's 'understanding comics' for anyone trying to get into comics#its also a comic in of itself so its a fun read! It breaks down a lot of the key aspects of what's in a comic.#And tbh you don"t HAVE to trace for the shrimp method to work. Just take the time to do a study of a subject!#Good luck on your art journey! B*)

my life has changed since I learned how to play Bach’s Invention No. 13 from memory on the piano
#it’s so good. I’m ready to flex at a moment’s notice#unfortunately I told my students this and they thought it was so funny and now they want me near a piano#this is part of what’s causing the anxiety. I’m flying a little too close to the sun in how I talk to them these days#akskjejejeejjejejejjejejdjejej#some students: hey you dress like the perfect ideal of an English teacher I could make a Pinterest board about you#me: yeah I know#lakekekeejejejej I HAVE to get the ego in check#and I said it with a smile!#but yeah a lot is sort of …. cresting at school rn and breaking through#and it’s good and also brings with it its own fears and also I like Taylor have some gremlin energy and like to fly too close to the sun#wow this was a journey#Saturdays are for processing#but yeah Bach helps#akkskskejejjeje#teaching tag#I guess?

─ Marquis de Condorcet 康道塞 (侯爵) 1743-1794 他是18世紀法國啟蒙運動時期最傑出的代表之一,同時也是一位數學家和哲學家。1782年當選法蘭西科學院院士。1789年,法國大革命爆發。孔多塞成為法蘭西第一共和國的重要奠基人,起草了吉倫特憲法。他也是法國革命領導人中為數不多的幾個公開主張女性應該擁有與男子相同的財產權、投票權、工作權以及接受公共教育權的人之一。1793年7月,執政的雅各賓派以「反對統一和不可分割的共和國的密謀者」為罪名追捕孔多塞。他在9個月後被捕,隨即死於獄中。在9個月朝不保夕的逃亡生涯中,孔多塞完成了自己的思想絕唱,即《人類精神進步史表綱要》。他所表述的進步史觀,不僅成為了法國啟蒙運動的重要遺產,並對後來的思想家造成了深遠的影響。恩格斯將其與孟德斯鳩、伏爾泰、盧梭並列,成為「在法國為行將到來的革命啟發過人們頭腦的那些偉大人物」。
known as Nicolas de Condorcet, was a French philosopher and mathematician. His ideas, including support for a liberal economy, free and equal public instruction, constitutional government, and equal rights for women and people of all races, have been said to embody the ideals of the Age of Enlightenment and Enlightenment rationalism. He died in prison after a period of flight from French Revolutionary authorities.

decided to throw my hat in the ring and try making a playlist
it's mostly made up of songs i think lisa and creature would like, songs that I think would fit them, and songs I think fit the vibe of the film
#lisa frankenstein#spotify playlist#there are so many oldies songs on here lol#i just like the idea of murderous Bonnie and Clyde-esque couples killing people with oldies music playing in the background (à la TEOTFW)#also the reason why the music box theme from the changeling is there is because I think creature and lisa would love the movie#creature would def learn the song on the piano and play it for his wife#I also think “happy ending” from frankenweenie would play when he resurrects her#i feel like “introduction (titles)" from edward scissorhands or ”main titles“ from corpse bride could fit for the opening scene too#“que sera sera” is supposed to be a heathers reference since the song plays in the beginning of the movie#“please don't ask me” reminds me of what creature would be thinking after finding out about lisa's crush on michael trent#“something stupid” (the better call saul version) feels like it'd play during a montage of lisa and her husband#specifically a montage of them killing and dismembering people then getting rid of the bodies lol#“love theme” from flashdance just matches the overall vibe so well#this playlist really makes me want a TEOTFW-style sequel where lisa and creature go on a road trip and gather new parts for her#also taffy finds out that lisa's not actually dead and goes on a journey to find her (not to turn her in but just to get closure)#Spotify

Finally… every expert song lvl 28 and below has been full comboed…..
#& now we crawl back to the lvl 28-29 master songs for crystals#piano x forte x scandal + journey + dance robot dance + new edgy idols + it’s just life#+ kashika maybe? oh and the world hasn’t even started yet. maybe donut hole as well.#mine#I’m at 138 master fcs rn & i think piano x forte x scandal and TWHESY are probably the best bets to get it to 140

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness
Eneomaos Machine Tower
#Castlevania#castlevania music#curse of darkness#music of the day#the ticking clock in the background...#love how it fades in and out at the right moments#even the piano has that ticking quality#but then the crescendo! it becomes much more intense#something about it reminds me of leon's theme the same elegance and the same gravitas#yamane notes 'the pressure on hector as his journey nears its end'#and you feel the weight near the end of the loop#with the ticking and the strings arpeggio and the insisting piano notes all in a suspensful chord#as if hector has to fight time itself

idk i just like that kendrick sampled Laura Palmer's Theme on the track where he told drake "fix your heart or die"
#twin peaks#meet the grahams#i THINK the 4 piano note phrase is the one from laura palmers theme but either pitched up or played at a higher octave#that's what adam neely cited on his q&a video abt the song#and i listened to the twin peaks soundtrack and it sounded plausible to me#and it doesn't feel like a reach to me#that it's specifically the leitmotif of a teen sex abuse victim#abt how drake needs to experience ego death & go on an inner journey to confront the rot at the heart of [north] american society>#>& his own part in reproducing and continuing that violence#....or die.

@asheanon sent: piano, sender teaches receiver how to play the piano.
(It's a piano, it's Sal; it's a thing. The opportunity is absolutely there, should Wagnas ever wish to attempt piano-ing with a pianist, one day.~) 🌌🎹
Drawn irresistibly to the piano, Wagnas approached the instrument that had initially lured him to this location. His intention was bold yet clear: to claim the piano for his own, envisioning it as a solace at the Den of Umbrage, a companion for his contemplative moments and sleepless nights.
Leaning over the piano, he regarded the expanse of ivory keys with a mix of apprehension and awe. Words and poetry were his comfort zones, music a language he couldn't decipher, yet its essence-- steeped in emotion, often in pain-- was something he deeply comprehended.
Gently, he pressed a key, and the piano sang for him, a soft, almost mournful note.
B... A B C D E...
B C B A...
He settled onto the stool, his fingers tentatively exploring the keys once more.
B... A B C D E...
B C B A... ...
There was a hope, a silent plea, that the inhabitants of this place, were there any, would permit his intrusion and his novice attempts at the piano. If they objected... Wagnas was prepared to employ his own methods to ensure his continued practice remained undisturbed.
#:: v :: endless journey.#sorry sal if this is your piano but he would like to have this piano#maybe they can reach a compromise...?#asheanon
