Dvorak may have been a narodnik (populist), applying similar ideas as the Kuchka composers but to American music 🤔

[All Things Considered] Dvorak's beloved 'New World' symphony was an anthem to what American music could be #allThingsConsidered

Research for an au fic I’m working on: how would Azula act and behave in a modern setting? And I don’t mean re-imagine her character within a modern context and stories. This isn’t Azula, but she’s an overachieving American high schooler with strict and overbearing parents, or Azula, but she’s the soon-to-be CEO of her father’s multinational conglomerate based in Japan or something. No, I mean how would Azula as she is in canon, Fire nation princess and all, act and behave if you simply just took her from her world and plopped her into [insert current year you’re reading this]?

#Like I wanna see what her figure out modern technology so bad #Bro is probably stunned by like microwaves and ovens and fridges and all that #imagine her saying #“How has the fire nation the smartest and most technologically advanced of all the four nations #not yet figured out the limitless potential of being able to reheat your food thus making it edible and enjoyable once again?!”#wanna see her throw an iPhone at a wall because she received a text message #and has no idea why the magical black box is all of a sudden directly communicating with her #Like the potential for comedy is endless #But also more seriously what would she make of our modern social and political problems?#And our art?#Imagine she if listened to our music? Or Watched our movies and TV shows or read our literature #it’s said in canon that she enjoyed reading a lot as a young child and spent a lot of time combing over the royal palace’s archives #Imagine her stumbling upon a modern library #She’s always been a lover of history #so I can just imagine with piles of books trying to cram our entire recorded history like she’s revising for an exam #What kinds of introspections and reflections would she have #learning about all the horrible atrocities we committed throughout history in the name of a culture or an individual or an idea?#How would she compare and contrast it all to her own upbringing and everything she was taught about her world?#Oh and the internet of course #I feel like she would go into a comatose state discovering the internet #avatar the last airbender #atla #atla au #azula #princess azula #atla azula

The Curtis's are Hungarian and Mexican send ask

hm. never thought about this!

curtis is an anglo-norman surname so honestly i was thinking they were possibly irish or smth-i never thought of them being mexican or hungarian!

also kinda sweet but darrel is an english name as well and it means darling so i think that’s sweet-honestly ponyboy and soda pop’s names originate from crackville so i can’t say much on them. but curtis and darrel are both english/anglo names! i honestly just see them as irish or smth but this is pretty cool to consider!! this is a cool headcanon! just never really thought of it y’know?

#the outsiders #darry curtis #sodapop curtis #ponyboy curtis #i do love the concept of dally and steve both being black tho #ever since the musical i can’t unsee them as anything but #also two but being i think mexican? or is he hawaiian? i can’t tell #what nationality is daryl tofa 😭#i love the concept of the gang being multiracial because it makes so much sense #but honestly i just see the curtis’ as basic white boys #this is cool to consider tho!!

I miss being able to just listen to music and know absolutely nothing about the people who made it

#it’s just crazy how hard it is to do that nowadays #when I was a kid I would just not read tiger beat lmfao #or not tune in to their interviews #now it’s like you WILL hear about all the stupid shit the out of touch artists you listen to say!#like lmfaooo #I’ve been a fan of Chappell roan for like 3 years #never followed her on social media. never knew a goddamn thing about her #besides what she said in her songs #and I loved that set up #I love listening to music by lesser known artists bc they’re never embarrassing you on the national stage #idk like even my favorite album when I was a teenager #was tragic kingdom #and I feel that’s an album that’s certainly . Enchanced! by knowing a bit shout their personal lives #*a bit about #but you knew Just Enough for it to be juicy #it wasn’t like. a ton of social media drama that you saw in real time #if that makes sense #btw I’m aware how this looks coming from a swiftie blog but oh well hehe

im on vacation how can i make this about the murder time trio. mtt fresh out of a flight and the minute that they leave the airport dust stops horror and killer for the smoke break. because being around a smoker is like that. and while horror is dying and coughing from the cigarette smoke and killer is pretend coughing to make dust feel terrible theyre both simultaneously roasting the shit out of dust for being such an addict smoker. cancer speedrun GO says horror. refreshing his signature smell says killer. dust just glares at them and blows smoke in their face (horror literally takes damage he's at 0.7 HP)

#killer ended up liking that btw. he later asked for dust to extinguish the cig on him. freak #this is absolutely based on my own personal experience #only a person who knows a smoker knows how annoying it is when they take smoke breaks everywhere #car rides are TAINTED by dust having to smoke. eating out is interrupted because dust gets up every 15 minutes to smoke #his bones are a dusty color but not because of the dust but because the smoke has turned them gray from the inside out #i'll need to figure out the right time to post this but the mtt grind never stops even while inter nations ‼️‼️‼️#i MUST relate every single thing i do to the mtt. a similar situation just happened to me like 15 minutes ago #im in germany oui oui or something idk #i cannot wait to come up with a bunch of travel related mtt headcanons this is gonna be so fun #the only fun i'll have during this trip is the imaginary characters in the head i sound delusional #delusional??? like like like horror sans. like like dust sans. is killer delusional. probably idk #update on horror character analysis: i finished some of it on the flight but smh #UNFORTUNATELY i have a human body so i needed to sleep so thats 4 hours wasted on NOT mttmaxxing #and it turns out i REALLY shouldve pre translated time to go mad so i could localize it on a flight with no internet #yeah i didn't think that one through. but at least i got parts of the analysis done WITH NO MUSIC. im a god #since Mad Time Series was so eye opening and fun to translate i cant WAIT to see what Time to Go Mad will be like #calvateyla after being canon dusttale's lord and savior. even after not posting on ask dusttale for years they still manage to surprise me #i almost lost my apple pencil during the flight i swear i was tweaking out #how can i connect this to the mtt #how can i make EVERYTHING about the murder time trio #3 is my favorite number. K D H are my favorite letters. when i see a knife i think of killer when i see a hood i think of dust when i see #mtt brainrot goes hard just like me. im hard. fortunately not like like an erection the mtt brainrot never goes away #top ten most outrageous triglycercule statements #killer sans #dust sans #horror sans #murder time trio #utmv #tricule hc

Yeehaw territory is all of the USA, but mostly west of the Mississippi River (anything bought in the Louisiana Purchase that was considered the 'frontier') 🌿

@whataboutyouisamascot thank you for the history lesson! Unfortunately I have no idea where Mississipi is, and I'm way too sick to look that up, so I'm just nodding and smiling gratefully like an idiot 😃👍 <- not a thought behind those eyes

#have i heard the words “Louisiana purchase” before? yes #do i know what it means? no #my knowledge of USA history consists of media references and the one time i went full deep on A Hamilton's life because of the musical #shout out to National Treasure for teaching stuff too ✌️#for the longest time i thought Louisiana was close to Oregon?? and recently i found out it's actually next to Florida #which i'm sure for you guys is hilarious at best and truly it makes no sense #but idk. i thought those two sounded nice together phonetically and therefore were somewhere close????#i will say though. once i'm feeling better i'll probably do a Wikipedia deep dive about it because that's ho my brain operates #like the time i went full Witches of Salem because i just kept hearing about The Crucible and had no idea what it was #i know Mississipi is the big one tho right? is that the one with the canoe buddies? brothers? friends? brokeback mountain situationship? 🤔#anyways. i never seen a cowboy in snow so i just assumed they were in the south mostly. but also i hate westerns soooo. maybe there are.#pardon my ignorance pard'ner 🤠😔#darya answers

"There is no other pianist/organist in Europe today who has moved, and I think ever will move me as much as much as Alan does." - Eric Burdon, 1966

#hi hello hiiiiiii happy 'i'm crying/take it easy' recording day <3 #wanted to deviate a little from band-related things and make a little piece celebrating the price-burdon aaaaa #since they don't have an immortalized meeting-date like some other songwriting duos do 😔#when i do learn the date they met believe me i'll make it a national holiday but until then....#i will celebrate on the same day that they recorded two of the songs they wrote together 🙏🙏🙏 TWO ABSOLUTE BOPS MIGHT I ADD #g o s h they get me so emotional.... contrasting and complementing one another in the best ways #alan so distant at first and even a little jealous #but then warming up to him completely.... dare i say developing quite a soft spot for eric.....#meanwhile eric was always impressed by him and wanted him to go far #aGGGhGHgHgHGG their musical partnership and general relationship is just so... aaaaaaAAA even if the songwriting didn't go far #it's not the 'what if' between alan and eric that makes them so compelling to me... it's 1000% what we have in front of us #(that 32000 word essay is my pride and joy) (STILL NEED TO UPDATE IT AGGHH)#anyway.... celebrating price-burdon today <3 #eric burdon #alan price #the animals #1964 #60s fanart #60s rock #classic rock fanart #classic rock #british invasion #british rock #worried life arts

This was originally a request from a friend but I figured I might as well post here coz I think it’s too funny

Audio: Berlioz, Symphonie Fantastique Mvt. 4. March to the Scaffold

Would highly recommend listening to the whole track coz it’s a banger but also it’s literally the composer having an opium-induced fever dream about him getting his head lopped off at the guillotine so

#genshin impact #focalors #neuvillette #I’m not sorry #this whole thing spawned from me ranting about Fontaine’s OST for like the nth time #for context I’m a classical musician and while I don’t think Fontaine’s music is necessarily bad #and I get what Hoyomix was aiming for #the direction they chose just frustrates me so much that I could probably scream about it for a good ten minutes or so #again not saying Hoyomix is bad I love their stuff too it just #FRSUTRATES ME #that the nation primarily inspired by what I’m assuming is Belle epoque France #fails to capitalise off of using French romantic composers from the era #and yes I know they said they’ve used Saint-Saëns #Ravel and Faure but I can’t hear it outside of the original Travail motif which was repurposed to just Arlecchino’s #and no imitation compositional technique isn’t making it super obvious either #but somehow we get a lot of Russian and Soviet composers #and I LOVE their stuff #but I was expecting Shostakovich and Stravinsky for SNEZHNAYA NOT FONTAINE #and also Khachaturian while we’re at it #SERIOUSLY WHY IS THERE A SUPER STRAVINSKY SOUNDNING TRACK IN SOME FRENCH CAVES #for reference the track is Magick Without Tears #I mean if we got Chopin at least question mark #but the dude is still Polish and famously homesick despite living in France #but seriously how did we get fricking Le Mer referenced in INAZUMA BUT NOT FONTAINE #no track names alluding to Debussy’s famous works don’t count either we could’ve had La Cathedral Engloutie underwater or something likE #IMAGINE #*cathedrale oops #and don’t get me started on how one of the few references I can find to French Impressionism is just Satie’s gymnopedie #and they named it Gymnopedie too LIKE #or any reference in the OST to the operas in Furina’s constellations like those are som serious bangers
