A little teaser of what's coming in a few hours…

This series has had its share of tragedy, but don't worry, I'm here to remind you that comedy's on the way too. (You'll see what I mean as soon as you read the full work)

Lots of pesto kisses!

hello love 💕 🎻 could i please get some new pieces to listen to?

You may!!! Stay right there, and allow me to cheer you up in these trying times!

Specifically this part from the Sunset Boulevard Symponic Suites (Andrew Lloyd Webber) bc it was stuck in my head for days and also excellent to dance to

V short but this part of Sleeping Beauty - Tchaikovsky because it's small and whimsical and I love it

Danse Macabre - Saint Saens bc spoopy season vibes (I know it's november) and also it's just very fun!

The Thieving Magpie - Rossini because it's just a silly goofy piece! And was also the first thing I ever played in orchestra when I was 11 so it holds a special place in my heart

Orchestral Music Asks!

Another favorite album that I bought when I was 18

I listened to lots of symponic metal bands at that time

17 questions tag meme!

Tagged by @saraheliza95​! thank you :D

Nickname: Jade? hm i used to have people who called me nicknames but not really anyone currently/regularly. I think probably the last time was a friend jokingly referring to me as “jadeypoo” in a group chat Zodiac: Capricorn in western, Goat in Chinese! Double goat + fish tail which is fitting. Height: 5′4 but most people assume I’m taller (5′6-8) and I like it that way. House: Hogwarts? I’d be the giant squid chillin in the bottom of the lake Last thing I Googled: “Walker True Value [hardware store]” to check the hours immediately after googling “what oil to use in swamp cooler” :( Song in my head:  “The Railroad” by Goodnight, Texas at the moment though it varies wildly hour to hour Amount of sleep:  Insomnia babyyyyy so vastly depends on the day/if i have to be awake the next morning. Usually between 3-7 hours. Lucky number: I like primes, multiples of 3, and a few special ones. 3, 7, 13, 17, 21, 27 for the low numbers, and a lingering fondness for 42 Wearing:  I typed it up but felt like Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way so here just have a pic instead

Fave songs:  Ohhh that’s so hard. Especially since I mostly listen to metal, which is really by-album not by-song. I’m gonna go with ones that I have a strong sense of emotion/nostalgia with. On the Morning Dew by Elvenking, Helvetios by Eluveitie, Land of Snow and Sorrow by Wintersun, Loneliness by Wintersun, The Islander by Nightwish, Mana by Equilibrium, Newborn Race by Ayreon, Northwest Passage by Unleash the Archers, and I’ll force myself to stop there bc no one listens to songs off these things anyway. GOD I cannot express how hard it was to only pick one song off each album/artist. If u like metal at all (or even if you’re just willing to give it a chance!!!) u Gotta listen to the albums for each of these they’re just. so good. If you don’t like metal, at least listen to The Islander bc you won’t even recognize it as metal lmao.  Instruments:  Currently, I’ve been learning Taiko Drumming for the last 2 years. Sad to not be playing with my dojo right now due to ~current events~ but I brought a drum home to practice with alone during the week. I played classical flute for ~10 years (grade school onward), then fell off in college but picked up some tin whistle to take its place since I didn’t have a symponic band/orchestra to play with anymore. I’ve got a handful of other kinds of flutes/whistles/piccolos as well.  Random fact: I do most things right-handed but for some random stuff (ice hockey, archery, bike riding, etc) I’m left-hand dominate. Or left-eye dominate in the case of archery I guess, which is a pain. Favorite authors: Catherynne Valente, NK Jemisin, Terry Pratchtt, Robin Hobb, Patrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, Naoimi Novik, Garth Nix, Liu Cixin, Anne Leckie... so many really. I read a lot. Best book I read recently though was This Is How You Lose The Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone. Fave animal sounds:  Coyotes howling in the desert, the birdsong of a canyon wren echoing across the Colorado River, great horned owls calling over the crickets at night Aesthetic: I have like 8 competing aesthetics. I alternate between faerie wandering the woods, pre-raphaelite maiden laying in streams, dark dramatic gothic queen, classical victorian maiden, cowgoth wandering the desert, and of course bright tropical mermaid life. Interior-decor-wise, I like mori vibes (plants, hardwoods, touches of gold), fairy caves (flower crowns, canopy bed draped with sheer purple and green fabrics), and gothy tones (black everything with silver accents). Essentially, why not have it all? No need to pick or limit :) 

I feel like most people I know have been tagged already and idr who all’s done it but I’ll throw this out to @alimsurana @brancadoodles @leviathanmirror @littleblue-eyedbird @aban-asaara @theherocomplex and anyone else who’d like to participate!

[atomi-cat]

The other songs I know from them are "Ghost Love Score", "The Kinslayer", and "Dark Chest of Wonders". Is it any of those perhaps? And yeah, symphonic metal will definitely do that to you lmao. I love imagining big epic fight scenes happening too. —Jack Anon

I think Ghost Love Score was the one I really liked.  I don’t listen to symponic metal all that much, but like I said. Great music for big battle inspiration. XD

Q&A: From Emo Rock to Emo Rap, We Are Triumphant Founder Gears Up For New Alt Hip-Hop Label Grxtesque

In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock without wifi for the past three years, let us fill you in on a not-so-secret secret: Soundcloud rappers are here and they’re ready to take over. 

With household names like Lil Peep and Juice Wrld paving the way for emotion-friendly emcees like nothing,nowhere., Wicca Phase Springs Eternal and Dying In Designer, the door has officially been kicked down as Spotify’s fastest growing genre, emo rap, is ready for its time in the spotlight. 

Now, doing his best to help create a space for this emerging culture of heart-wrenching lyricists, We Are Triumphant label owner Greg Long (who has worked with bands like Neck Deep, Sworn In, Oh, Weatherly and more) has decided to throw his hat in the emo rap ring with his newfound record company Grxtesque. 

Talking with The Noise about his vision for the upstart label as well as the similarities between working in the alternative rock space, Long gave us the scoop on what to expect from Grxtesque in 2019. To check out our interview with the music business entrepreneur, be sure to look below. Afterward, for more from Grxtesque, head here.

What can you tell us about GRXTESQUE?

GRXTESQUE is a new label launching today via Symponic Distrobution (Wiz Khalifa, Waka Flocka, Marshmello) with our first artist ✦pink cig✦. An 18-year-old artist from Phoenix, AZ who has been able to amass over 150,000 monthly listeners on Spotify alone with tracks like “Xanny Bars 222″ and “Angeldust” sitting in the millions. He has mainly been discovered prior via Soundcloud and being on Spotify's official playlist ''Tear Drop'' right next to the likes of Lil Peep, XXXTENTACION, Trippie Redd and more. The song ''Loser 00'' takes a different approach to the traditional theme of materialism in hip-hop. This track is the first single off Pink Cig's debut album Beautiful Strangers due out this summer.  

Pink Cig and GRXTESQUE are a bit different than working at We Are Triumphant. What inspired you to jump into the hip-hop world?

I've always enjoyed hip-hop in many forms. I've been blessed to just be able to be a fan since I was a child. I've always had a talent for discovering artists very early on and that’s not really genre specific. I never had any intentions of starting a rap label but I started coming across so many dope artists with zero backing from any labels, managers, agents, etc. and I saw a missing piece to the puzzle. GRXTESQUE is here to complete the vision for those artists. Do you see any parallels between artists on We Are Triumphant and GRXTESQUE? Do you think alternative hip-hop is the second coming of the 2000s emo/screamo boom?

There certainly are a lot of comparisons you can draw from. Soundcloud today is what MySpace was to bands in the early 2000s. “Soundcloud Rappers” are yesterdays “Myspace Bands.” A bunch of kids uploading music to a free network and sharing it among each other and creating a culture on a music platform just trying to find a place to belong. The atmosphere is very similar. However, being a rapper and a band, the dynamic couldn't be any more different.

Your first signing Pink Cig already has a pretty significant following racking up 150,000 daily Spotify listeners. What you do think the future holds for him? 

We are very excited to take what Pink Cig has already been able to accomplish on his own and scale it dramatically with GRXTESQUE.  We're already planning festival performances, tours and his debut album Beautiful Strangers will be out this summer. 

Are there any other hip-hop artists on your radar or ones you'd love to have collaborate with your own artists? 

Shout out to KEEPMYSECRETS currently the only other artist of GRXTESQUE. He and Pink Cig have already collaborated and it's going to be the second single KMS releases. His first single is out April 12th. 

Any last words? Where can people learn more about GRXTESQUE?

Thank you to THE NOISE for lending your voice to us. You can find GRXTESQUE everywhere via @GRXTESQUE.
