how do you make your music?
if you don’t mind sharing your secrets 🧐
How do I make music? Well, I open Musescore, choose a couple of instruments (3 or 4), decide on a key signature and a time signature, then I put notes on the sheet music until I’m done. And that’s it. Now you can make your own music!
Just kidding. (This is going to be long, but there's music, so...)
What I do to make music is I listen to a lot of music, and I take notes on what effects the rhythm, tempo, instruments, and note choices have on me. My brain is wired in such a way that it can’t tune out music unless it has words, so I can focus on the harmonies and underlying stuff besides the melody relatively easily, but if you’re the type who can put on classical music and somehow ignore it, you might have to train yourself to listen to the “less interesting” parts.
After a break (so I don't have someone else's music stuck in my head), I decide what sort of music I want to make. I pick an adjective (soulful, sweet, sad, whimsical, energetic, silly, adventurous, etc) and use that to help me pick my instruments, my key and time signature, and my general tempo. For example, if I want silly music, I might use the xylophone. If I’m trying for a sad or soulful feel, a slow waltz might be just the thing. The timpani’s deep voice will give you a different kind of adventure than the tambourine’s innocent ring.
I also have to decide what I’m depicting in my music. Am I creating a theme for a place, or a person? Will this music be about a singular event or an entire journey? Sometimes I can’t answer these questions until I’m done composing, but when I can answer these questions I can turn my instruments into characters. Oh, the horn symbolizes a royal figure, but what’s this? A violin peasant dares to enter and challenge the king? It turns out the peasant has a sad backstory and is coming for revenge, and there’s a “fight” where the two are locked in battle, the horn playing with a sinister tone and the violin playing with a more hopeful one. Moments of silence, who has survived? A single note to end the piece tells you the violin peasant, though battered and tired, is victorious. Making music is fun!
Most of the time I just follow these steps, but if I’m really having trouble coming up with a melody, I have a special trick. I use a cipher to turn regular words into musical letters (this is how I celebrated Dictionary Day, by the way).
Tumblr media
How about I show you how I make music with the word “dragonfly”? Here's what it sounds like if all I do is translate the letters into music notes.
Now that I have something down on paper, I have ideas on what vibe I want, what instruments to use, and even what rhythm is needed. Sometimes I completely change things if I can think of something better until the original little melody is practically non-existent.
The fun part about this is, if I had chosen to use say, an electric piano and a trumpet, I would have made a completely different piece of music, even though it would have been inspired by the same configuration of musical letters.
I don't need to use the cipher very often, but if I have no music in my head it acts as a catalyst and gets my mind going. Plus, it's fun to imagine that I'm putting a little secret message into my music.
A lot of how I make music comes from 6 years of playing violin in my school orchestra, so I have picked up a few things, but I don't know anything about chords and stuff (and music theory vocab goes straight over my head). You can kind of tell I'm a violinist with my tendency to focus on melody and inability to focus on more than one instrument at a time, ha ha!

UPDATE: JAN-17-2025
I will be changing lots of things since I I've changed some of the ocs and main story so stay tuned! You are still free to read this tho! I'll see y'all around ✨️
Welcome to..
Apotheosisverse!
First off, a few warnings this place will contain mature themes(16+) if you don't likes the following things please don't even bother being here, move on and don't make a fuss about it: Violence, blood, slight NSFW, angst, deaths, slavery, abuse
Buut will also contain: adventure, romance, occasionally fluff, and lots of ocs. Also lots of skeles, monsters and everything xD
Also note not all the art belongs to me but the ocs are so yea-
This place is an apocalyptic AU/verse where a mysterious virus is slowly taking over and destroying worlds, homes, hopes and dreams some places have lost everything to the threat leaving nothing but a few survivors to none, some other places don't even know the existence of the virus and is all thanks to a crew led by Dream, they are responsible on trying their best to keep the peace and to stop the virus from causing more devastation the virus behaves very differently in each word it touches so is is very difficult to find a cure to stop it..
[Image on hos the virus works coming soon]
For now let's meet the main crew!
Tumblr media
Daylight: The one who sends the crew to dangerous missions either outside or inside to investigate dangerous sectors of the cities to keep the peace he doesn't smile much
Mist: usually calm and collected he's the one who leads the missions most of the time not only outside but inside the city as well being the only one to survive the virus with his brother he is sometimes protective of him he doesn't really know how to talk to people outside work however.. he is quite shy.
Shira: Usually the second in comand agile, friendly, loyal but quite a bit hot-headed at times she gets along with most of the crew she lost her arm and a small shunk of her soul on a fight and constantly has phantom pains she hates looking at it or others mentioning it Sugarbee usually helps her whenever they need to fix the arm.
Ves: she is usually sent on missions inside the city a bit quiet and impulsive, but always follows orders to the leter gets along well with Shira, she is often confused as a guy but she doesn't really care.
Kuru: A demon who saved Ves from human hunters on her once home and now is resident on her soul keeping her alive usually the voice of reason whenever they are on missions.
Cipher: The very first one to loose his home to the virus and is constantly looking for the one responsible for it workaholic, he is the only one known to survive the strike from the virus leaving his arm permanently damaged
Artik: Him and Mist where the only ones to survive when their home was destroyed by the virus. He is very mischievous and loves to mess around with others just to get them to smile after what they've been trough but he finds it difficult to take care of himself so his brother is constantly nagging him about it. He also gets in trouble a lot for not following orders in missions sometimes.(Flake and him are best friends)
Sugarbee: A sentient AI robot built by Cypher using what he could save from his home to help detect any viruses or issues outside or inside the omega City, he is flirty, loves to mock and he is a very good singer usually the one in charge of tech and weapons
Hohenheim: Shy, anxious but always ready for whatever they throw at him. hugee pacifist and only fights when he needs to he is the healer of the group and extremely good at archery he believes everyone's good deep down.
Gunner: one of the most recent ones to have lost his home and joined right after out of revenge for his home grumpy, mean to the crew, barely smiles and of course a bit lazy he only tolerates Shira and Hohenheim.
Skitz: He is often lost in thought, tends to space out and stare up at the sky, doesn't smile much, he is quick to anger but also quick to cry. Struggles to make friends/connections and has issues talking about himself or where he's from. Has a lot of emotional baggage but refuses to tell anyone, but those that get close to him and even that is rare. He wants to do good things but has abad record of messing things up. Only swears on rare occasions. he can also eat five times his body weight.
Now that you've met the main crew, let's meet the others and their place in their homes!
There's this place called omega city Is a huge void-like world that are the homes of our Guardians Ying and yang! They are the only ones who can led access to this place.
Tumblr media
Ying:
Yang:
They make sure to accommodate all beings who have lost their homes to the virus here and most live happily in peace..but you cant keep the peace everywhere...This place has many flaws, from anarchy between humans and monsters to mafia, monster facilities, to dense forests with tribes and dangers in every corner.. there's a little bit of everything in this place!
And now to show you where everyone lives! There's many places scared outside the main city to explore!
[Images of the city layout coming soon]
⚙️The Outcodes⚙️
These are people who want to live as much of a normal life possible in the city center after the many events that have happened to them These peeps mostly live in peace with one another and rarely even fight with some having homes, jobs, etc but not everything is 100% peace..
Flake: Extremely anxious, insecure but very kind and generous, he always tries his best on whatever is thrown at him even tho he sometimes panics he sometimes trains with Artik with his ice magic to defend himself better he is also sometimes clumsy (he is in a very toxic relationship with Jiro)
Simon(parasite): Outgoing, yet anxious when meeting new people this parasite in disguise is very well known and liked because of his career as a streamer he also owns his own brand of clothing. Doesn't go outside much but is very well recognized when he does
Jiro(parasite): only there to cause a bit of chaos and eat the souls of lost citizens around the city doesn't matter the species he can paralyzed his victims using a toxin on the tip of his fingers one smal scratch and you are done for he is very flirty, manipulative, controlling, abusive and extremely dangerous(he is in a current relationship with Flake)
Kai: He was a s*x slave since he was very young that is all he knew but years later humans discovered he was the last of his kind after thue to over hunting so he was put for exhibition and all that and pay lots of money to sleep with then till the day he snapped and murdered everyone in sight before disappearing. He is adventurous yet timid with people. Has a hard time trusting others but gets attached easily. He was a bit of a sarcastic tone at times with people he doesn't know well and only loosens up when someone proves they're able to be trusted. Can be over protective and only wants to find someone he can truly trust.He is also very sex repulsed..yet craves it.
Opal:
♠️♥️Mafia alley♣️♦️
This place is what they call the wealthy moster section of the void here mosters rule these area this place is mostly crime driven and the place with most fancy restaurants, bars and clubs there are many dangers and crimes occurring here from time to time..

🪵🌳The woods🌳🪵
This place is one of the biggest in this place connecting all around the the void/world where tribes and much simpler people live in and where most of the organic food grows to be distributed across but there's also many dangers on these parts to tribes feral monsters to dangerous entities! Humans sometimes will come here to hunt down creatures for pleasure or trophies and such but not all of them come out alive to tell the tale.
[Updated Image coming soon!]
Shin: Has been alive for thousands and has been along side Ying and Yang longer than anyone, this fox spirit takes care of the forests keeping humans away as best he can he is quite respected by the tribes and most who live in the woods he is very cunning and sneaky being able to outsmart hunters all the time by causing illusions.
Patches: A strange doll-like creature who feeds on human flesh and souls he is always alone thue his fear of hurting and scaring others and will usually starve himself just so he doesn't hurt people as often or until he looses himself to hunger will sometimes observe villages from a distance and learn stuff with his smaller from to not attract unwanted attention.
