Music Monday - Science-ish Edition

Let’s see how long I can manage to keep up a vague theme for these posts. This week I wanted to throw out some videos with some fancy “science-y” themes. I use that in the vaguest since, because at least one is kind of a stretch but it’s certainly nice to look at. Also, it’s a bit “Music Monday-ish” as well, since it’s Tuesday, because yesterday I posted about the Alanis Morrisette Concert.…

Marbles were one of my earliest interests so I have been thinking about Wintergaten for a long time, and as the cycle of algorithm continues, I found him once more.

And reading the comment section got such a kick out of me, because how virtual it was. Now, most of the time I would be weeping because ‘Wintergaten didn’t deserve this’ but looking through the videos a bit, I think(?) this is a really clever way of building an audience.

To give a recap - Wintergaten makes very complex machines that shoot marbles in order to hit various objects that, as a whole, makes fun music. He abandoned his second prototype due to having an Engineer’s Despair and now recently started his third prototype.

This process basically shifted the fandom from ‘ooh, cool concept’ to a bunch of nitpicking engineers, although I guess that’s redundant. This seems to be a problem, but going by his third prototype video, I might have a hint of a twist coming up.

Most people in the audience seem to think Wintergaten stopped his second prototype because he realized he was getting too ambitious and needed to step down a bit… and that’s partially true, but it’s not really the fact of ambition, but that his ambition outgrew the machine, and so he needs to build a more robust machine to handle his ambitions better.

And this is where the switch in audience helps Wintergaten, because he realized he didn’t need a bunch of supporters adding nonsense, when he does plenty, he needs people complain so that he can weave through and pick some good advice and have a good laugh at the horror.

He doesn’t need an audience, so he deliberately makes an audience more combative in order for them to serve as a critical mirror. Quite a lot of streamers set up their audience like this - this ensures a high level of ‘banter’ and makes sure you are tied to one’s audience. Thinking about cases like Rushia or even Axia, an overly supportive audience is much more terrifying than an overly critical audience… which is such a counterintuitive thing.

Someone who does something similar in a similar conceptual vicinity but is more honest about how he goes about this is Zack Freedman, whose eloquence constantly eludes and fascinates me and whose ingenuity and wonder fuels me a tiny bit. So I’ll end with that recommendation.

My Top 5 Favorite Musical Artists 2021

I wanted to another one of these for this year, but my main blog site is locked, so I made a backup here. 

5. WINTERGATAN - Thanks to Youtube’s recommendation, I discovered Martin’s 2016 Marble Machine video. It reminded me of old Animusic videos such as Pipe Dream, but he actually made one! He is currently working on another marble machine, and I really love his older videos where he talks about different musical machines. Some of my favorite videos include Marble Machine, 100 Year Old Self-Playing Violin, and  Sommarfågel.

4. 4s4ski - Being a fan of Zheani, I eventually discovered this artist. Her songs are unique and very creative, her apparently using real game boy sounds for Hyper Angry Cat. She even dabbles in social commentary; living in Japan with tattoos and colored hair. She definitely speaks to the teenage punk inside of me. She also look so much fun to see live. Some of my favorite songs include I LOVE ME, 35.5, Lavender( ラベンダー ), and Hyper Angry Cat. 

3. ZHEANI - Unfortunately, I discovered her through the Zheani vs Die Antwoord scandal. I won’t lie, at first I was on Die Antwoord’s side, but the more I saw what they were doing, the more they showed their true colors, I finally was on Zheani’s side, and have become a big fan of hers. And I’m sorry I wasn’t on her side to begin with. Her music is raw and authentic. Whether it be happy songs or angry ones, she continues to give it her all, staying true to herself. And I also love her free-spirited nature. Some of my favorite songs include Fuck the Hollywood Cult, I Won’t Sell My Soul, Lava, and DIRTBIKE.

2. HEILUNG - Thanks again to Youtube’s recommendations, I discovered this lovely group. Many people describe them as Viking Folk Metal, but they are so much more than that. 

They sing about peace, war, and the healing that comes after war. Their live performance isn’t so much a modern concert, but more in the vein of a ceremony or ritual. They promote spiritual healing and oneness as brother and sister of all the same spirit/energy. They also express themselves through hand-made clothing and instruments made of hide and bone. They also sing in some ancient languages such as Old English, Proto-Norse, Proto-Germanic, and Viking age Old Norse, as well as English and Swedish. Not to mention Maria’s voice is visceral and ethereal. Definitely one of the best voices out there!

If you want a intense spiritual experience, I recommend you go see them live. I saw them in Colorado at the Red Rock Amphitheatre in October, and the drums echoing off the mountainside was so beautiful! And the crowd howled at the moon as it started to appear in the sky.

They have definitely awoken the feral child in me, and the desire for oneness with nature and the well-being of the earth. Some of my favorite songs include  Hamrer Hippyer, Traust, Norupo, and  Alfadhirhaiti. 

1. AURORA - Still number 1 since my 2020 post. She’s such an inspiration to me and her music touches my soul. She is fearless in her authenticity on stage, through her music, or when she’s just making a TikTok, and she inspires me to be like that; to live in love to the tune of my own drummer. It’s beautiful! There’s not much more I can write other than what I’ve already put in my previous post. Some more of my favorite songs from her include Runaway, Boy in the Grass, The River, and It Happened Quiet.

If the Primarchs were to participate in Eurovision, what do you think they would perform?

Friend

Did you knew??? That I LOVE Eurovision?!? I blame my french dad lol.

If primarch participated in Eurovision, what would they do (+their contry)

Horus: Croatia -- show up in jean and hoodies and does Slavic style rap. It has no right being this fucking good. Bring the house down with his insane energy.

Sanguinius: France -- Does a sweet love ballad, they get feathers to fall all around the ceiling as he sing about an angel in love. Probably win.

Ferrus: Holland -- Catch everyone of guard with a very traditional and beautiful done Opera piece. His deep voice really resonate.

Fulgrim: represent Italy and OH WOW. It's a gigantic broadway style musical number. There's dancing! And pyrotechnic!!! Live animals??? Is the song even good?????? WHO CARES LOOK AT THE COSTUMES!

Magnus: Show up on stage for Albania and do a repeat of last year Shum by Go-ya. Except this time, it IS actually a summoning ritual. They have to be stopped when a bunch of demons accidentally start appearing on stage.

Vulkan: Show up for Belgium... And bring the house down with some fucking awesome Stromae style pop with rwandais-inspired beats to it. And he can DANCE TOO?!?

Mortarion: Germany - wheel on stage a huge contraptions that might be a bomb. Everyone is afraid. Start it- and it's kinda like Wintergaten marble machine! It make a soft lullaby. He sing very softly to it.

Jagahatai: For the first time in the history of eurovision, Mongolia participate!!! And jaghatai does some awesome electro edm Buryat/throat singing mix.

Leman: Scotland- I tried to explain in word multiple time what he would do but. Just. Go on youtube and watch The SIDH - Shake that bagpipe. Exactly that. Including the shades.

Lion: Austria -- come on stage with a suit and a bunch of his sons also in suits.... And do some kind of fucking Ramstein metal song, to everyone absolute surprise. And it's good.

Angron: is representing Spain, and WOW THAT SURE IS SOME HEAVY METAL. Destroy their instrument on stage.

Perturabo: Australia -- First, he's doing the weirdo country. Second, he sing some kind of synth 80's pop rock ballad. Third, he look constipated as all hell for it. It's a mess.

Corvus: Show up for Iceland, and perform some kind of allegorical Bjork style weird performance. Everyone clap politely even if they don't get it.

Lorgar: Algeria -- he come up, sit down, grab a rabab , beat his foot for rythmes, and soli this shit with just his voice. Truly impressive.

Alpharius Omegon: No one know wich contry they are. They are in fact undercover as a Daft Punk look-alike band for Finland, with mask and everything, and play something that sound suspiciously like a Hatsume Miku song.

Rogal: Norway -- Does a beautiful traditional Sami song, in full traditional outfit. It's really simple and beautiful.

Roboute: England -- does a cabaret style classic number. It's appropriatly charming, and oh so very him and dorky. He even got a cane and does a dance routine on stage!

Konrad: Russia - Listen. He didn't want to be here. He does not want to sing this weird pop song boys band shit. Imagine the Jonas brothers but russian and worst. Everyone look horrified and uncomfortable, except Savatar, who is full of his usual manic energy and actually talented.

Eventually Yawgate finds out that Cyalm is plotting Bad and tries to inform Voixer but uh... Voixer denied it bc it’s the first time he’s actually felt special and wanted to do what Cyalm wanted him to do... Unfortunately hell broke loose, Voixer finds out Yawgate was actually telling the truth, but it was kind of too late since uh...
