Astrid Sonne, Great Doubt
New music Wednesday
The third album by Danish-born, London-based composer Astrid Sonne places significant emphasis on subtle details. Through a sparse yet extremely powerful blend of wonky pop sounds, all along the album, the artist skillfully navigates between a delicate sense of unease and wistful reminiscence, on which she reflects on themes of love, parenthood, and the unknown future.

i dont care what anyone says, when Rashawn Scott said:
"That's not fair. That's not fair. That's not fair at all. She just poured her heart out to us for the first time in forever, why would you say that to her? That's horrible Mama. I don't like that at all, I really don't,"
i was emotionally punched in the gut more than any dimension 20 moment aired thus far.
her performance in that whole episode made me feel more than any TV show or movie that I've seen. give her all the praise! give her all the awards! give her all the roles!
#dimension 20#rashawn scott#burrow's end#aabria iyengar#viola#viiiih-ooohlaa#1000% best dimension20 guest player of all time#i will die on that hill#she is always so in character and makes such powerful moves

I've probably talked about this before but Kazuma's themes fucking kill me.
Samurai On A Mission and Kazuma Asogi: Nocturne are both in a major key. Samurai on a Mission feels happy. It makes you excited. Nocturne's slower, and it's more bittersweet. But it still fills you with optimism. It still feels good to listen to. It gives you the feeling that even if Kazuma's gone, this isn't the end. There's still stuff Ryunosuke needs to do in Kazuma's place.
Compare them to His Glorious Return and A Prosecutor, Reborn, and it's the complete opposite. The opening to His Glorious Return feels just slightly off. Like I don't think it's in a different key than Samurai on a Mission, but it's different enough to just feel off. I think it might be the instruments honestly. His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission (obviously it's the same motif but His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission because it's slower).
And THEN you get to A Prosecutor, Reborn. How fucking dare they. At this point in the game, not just is Kazuma prosecuting Barok, but his motive is made clear to be revenge (iirc). A Prosecutor, Reborn is basically just Samurai on a Mission with different instruments and in a minor key. A Prosecutor, Reborn specifically has fairly prominent harpsichord in it. The same also applies to Barok's theme. You get the vibe that something is seriously wrong here.
You can literally understand Kazuma's arc before The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo from his themes alone. That's. impressive. Like just to be clear this isn't the first nor the only time Ace Attorney does this. It was also done with Eustace's themes, Winning Deductions and Winning Independence. But it's so impressive that they gave Kazuma four unique sounding themes using the same motif and made it easy to tell how his story goes just in music. Like just listening to his themes, it goes happiness and positivity > oh actually this is kind of bittersweet. there's still work to be done so we must go on > triumph but also a little bit of "something's off here" > wow what the fuck happened here
It's so impressive to me?? But also the fact that Kazuma has four unique sounding themes that use the same motif is incredibly impressive. All four are basically the same song but different depending on the vibe needed for the part of the game they're featured in. Doing that with anything is hard.
A similar thing is done with the Dance of Deduction tracks. Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! feels more complete than the initial Joint Reasoning tracks. Listening to the initial Joint Reasoning tracks and then listening to Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! makes it incredibly obvious to me. In this case, it goes from "this is fun and upbeat!" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE A], then goes to "we're getting a little more intense" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE B], then to "oh now we're getting INTENSE" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE C], then to "shit just got REALLY serious" with Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! Even the backstage tracks (the ones that play when you either fill in the blanks or correct one of Sholmes's deductions) are like this. It feels more intense and high energy during Sholmes and Mikotoba's Dance of Deduction.
Anyway my point is TGAA is genuinely the best video game soundtrack ever in my opinion and even tops most movie soundtracks for me. I'm almost completely convinced this is because they made the soundtrack sound like music you'd get in Victorian England. I don't think the soundtrack would be nearly as good without the Victorian sound. Anyway back to drawing I go
#ace attorney#the great ace attorney#tgaa#tgaa2#tgaa2 spoilers#dgs#dgs2#dgs2 spoilers#i would make an entire post analyzing tgaa's soundtrack but despite music being one of my best subjects in school#i suck at positively identifying certain instruments. violins and violas sound incredibly similar to me. so do clarinets and oboes#and the irony is i took band in 7th grade with an oboe player so i should be able to tell the difference between an oboe and a clarinet lol#my last two posts were made because im drawing beagle ema and listening to ace attorney soundtracks while i do#just for context lol#this post specifically came from a track from tgaa popping up. dont remember if it was his glorious return specifically or not#it probably was

sometimes things that are popular are good (this post is about Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, op 20., act II, no. 10 scène (moderato))
#this is so silly but i’ve been thinking about it for days so i had to post it#also if this is the wrong name for it i’m so sorry i tried my best#it is good though#it’s awful to play as a viola player and i hope to never do it again#however it sounds awesome#the more common name is the swan theme i think#it’s the famous swan lake piece#you know it#ally natters#music#classical music

a girl handed me her viola while she played mine and i immediately noticed how small the viola felt in my hands. and then i plucked the strings and was like hm i think someones put a G string where your C should be! and hey why’s your A sounding like an E? this is a funny looking viola dude!- OH.
#the joke is that it was a violin#can we normalize forgetting violins exist#as a viola player i believe this is how the world should be#viola#orchestra memes#personal#anecdote

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME BURROWS END WASNT FREE
#I DIDNT TALK TO ANYONE ABOUT IT BUT STILL. SOMEONE SHOULDVE WARNED ME BEFORE I GOT COMPLETELY INVESTED#I know next to nothing abt dimension 20 I’m pretty sure I just saw a post abt burrows end specifically MONTHS ago and was like 👀👀👀#opened a tab with the first episode to watch later and promptly forgot about it#until last night! having a bad night and was like hrm what if I just watch smth#and I’ve been reading watership down recently!! finally got my own copy bc it was my favourite book when I was like NINE#so I am fully primed to fall in love with a story abt little animals rn and man#I am OBSESSED with this and also realising yeah I’m at a point where I could get very into tabletop rpgs now#what if. what if I just get dropout. what if I just do that. would that not be fun. I would like to see the stoats do stuff#i am so in love with Ava and her player and I understand so much more about brennan lee mulligan now. and VIOLA#viola may be my favourite character I’m obsessed with how she interacts with other characters.m#i NEED to know what’s up with thorn’s cult thing. and also thorn. what is going on there#hrrgrhehh the thing that’s holding me back is I’m allergic to subscriptions#impermanence. even though I know it’s fairly unlikely I’ll wanna watch it again any time soon I don’t like the idea that I’d have to like#in a couple years pay for it again or not be able to bc I can’t afford it even though I already paid for it once#I’m a books + cartridge games guy and it shows.#okay. I will chew on this. the price is not unreasonable and I have coincidentally also been looking at make some noise clips#it does not help that I basically never watch things but my favourite podcast is also ending within the next month (2 episodes left)#and this IS primarily audio so I could cook + watch mayhaps. and I’ve heard good things abt all other d20.#they have a 20% off first year deal on. annual would make me less stressed long term if I end up liking this bc cheaper + choice premade#and would also mean I can do it now and not feel bad abt wasting the first month bc I won’t be able to watch much for a few weeks#fuck it I’m allowed to make frivolous purchases sometimes I will simply swallow the subscription distaste#more stoats >:)#that aside all the players are incredible I’m pretty sure when this is done I’ll wanna watch other seasons just to see what else they do#okay go do the thing I believe in you you can spend money sometimes#luke.txt#update I downloaded the app. I am putting off the decision for another day now bc it’s 1:21am and I have not been thinking clearly <3

Oh my gosh they are!!! For the longest time We had just three violas in our viola section at my school. 
We have like six now
-💫
that's great! violas are beautiful instruments, perfectly blending the smaller size and higher notes of the violin with the low, mellow tones of the cello. they're very overlooked with the popularity of the violin, so im glad your viola population is growing :)
#ooc i knew like two viola players last year#and sooo many more violin players 😭😭#apollo#epic the musical ask blog#epic apollo#greek mythology#epic the musical#ask#mortal acknowledged#💫 anon

It's beautiful how string instruments leave calluses on your fingertips.
The instrument loves you so much it has to mark you, so you can look at your hands, and think of it.
You love the instrument so much you will keep playing, even when it begins to hurt you, even when you lose the feeling in your fingertips.
#my random stuff#string instruments#I'm a viola player#and I've played for around 7 years now#it's made a lasting change to my fingertips

This is the story of Viola Spolin and her building the foundation of improvisational theater. Set aside an hour and watch this. So many of the folks who have entertained us have an origin tied back to this woman's life-work.
Honestly, happy tears every time I watch this.
And it happened in Chicago.
Bonus Round!

orchestra au first chair viola jadzia always jokes about garak fellating his oboe reed right behind her. it's not his fault it's such a neurotic instrument!
#dee s 9#jadzia is such a viola player. shes such a chad#i know so little about orchestra culture man the harpist is not Part of the Crew#the only thing i know for sure is that the violins are divas. sorry but it is true. you are the loudest.#anyways first violin kira. french horn odo. tuba morn. cant decide if bashir plays the flute or if he's a string (the real meat)#garak dreamily spitsoaking his reed while staring at an oblivious julian whos frantically taping his sheet music together
