HS Music Discussion 2: Let there be a fan-music contest!

[Bandages]

I just grabbed some of eidolon's apocrypha and I have to say that I am beyond in love with Aquatic Aristocracy, and I think it is a much much better theme for Eridan than Pirate Shanty Sing-Along.

If anyone on the music team reads these (lol), you should SERIOUSLY CONSIDER MAYBE PUTTING AQUATIC ARISTOCRACY on an album

or just like

master it better

Actually, I have made something new(ish) in a similar vein to Aristocracy. It seems when referencing the trolls, I tend to go back to the instrumentation/motifs I used in my pre-team themes, also in the case of Cuddlefish in Dreamers and the Dead and Chaotic Frenzy in Chaotic Strength.

This pleases me.

Also, Eidolon, how do you feel about other people post-editing your music? I'd really like a crack at some of those old troll tracks. Can I PM you or should I just forget about it

[EidolonOrpheus]

I would be okay with that.

Isn't Radiation also working on another solo album? And I think I heard somewhere that Bowman was making another as well.

Where do you people hear this stuff?

Hmm dunno. Last I heard, just you, Jit, and Kali have solo albums in the works?

Man, reading karkat's rage and listening to this song [>you spend ten minutes listening to this progressive rock bullshit] fits so well. It makes me a huge music theory nerd to think or say this, but troll music could totally be just in whole tone scales. It fits so well, not to mention the fact that it's a six note scale.

I will use this as an excuse to exclusively write serialism from now on.

Enjoy my tone rows, bitches.

[Walliard]

clearly the answer is because equius > vriska

quality of combined music correlates to hemocaste

that's why feferi has only one song, if she had more than one someone would combine them and it would be the vast glub, killing humanity

This actually turned out better than I thought it would.

I am working on it, I am working on it. I have lots of music projects I'm juggling simultaneously at the moment. I've got a new Homestuck album of mine I'm getting started on, I'm contemplating piecing together a symphonic work, and I'm also working on a game score. I'll get it out to you guys, don't worry.

don't forget the musical that we're working on! which reminds me, you need to get the sheets for the act I finale to me so that i can compose the lyrics and write the prelude into the scene

huh

also endlessly recursive feferis are surprisingly disturbing

proof people don't listen to album commentaries

This is hauntingly awesome.

It took me a second to recognize, and then...OH GOG.

Dominus Duodecim Daemonus?

psst Radiation you should totally use that

[temporalPeregrine]

Wait what album has an audio-commentary, I have to buy it.

Jailbreak.

And I think they said RJ has an album.

Actually there should just be a monthly music team podcast or something, with whoever they can get together. This one they kept having to go back to talk about the next song whereas their random discussion was more interesting.

OK I really like this play-two-songs-on-top-of-each-other thing; keep it up you guys. Also while we're there, Love You is the best and Science Seahorse is also the best. (OK a lot of songs are the best, it's like a 413-way tie or something. But Feferi's songs are adorable and it's great)

On a somewhat related note, one thing I would like to hear is all the tracks of Medium at once.

[Plazmataz]

They say that you can see forever when you hear it. It's akin to taking one of those biodegradable Sun Chips bags and crinkling it vigorously right next to your ears.

[Didero]

So I've been listening to older albums again, AterniaBound at the moment.
'A Fairy Battle' is an excellent piece of music. Actually, the whole album is, but for some reason that song stood out for me during listening.

[NovaSeaker]

I'm seriously falling in love with Ocean Stars Falling.

Personally I think it would be a GREAT soundtrack to the hypothetical "The End" flash for Homestuck. It just screams "and they all lived happily ever after" to me.

(I'm picturing all the kids and currently surviving trolls rushing off into a sunrise together through a meadow :3)

[Xzaz]

What about Hat-Tier Fedorafreak? He's just left all alone?

Fedorafreak needs a theme. Thi-
Actually, there needs to be a Fedorafreak album.

Was going to do this, but someone beat me to it by almost a year.

On a related note, this makes me sad that Blakeslee hasn't been around in forever.

EDIT: Just tried Contention + Versus. Probably the most success I've had combining unrelated songs by different artists. Not sure if should post (because, you know, Contention).

[BRPXQZME]

The reason they're similar is because they written by the same person, and that person happens to really really like arpeggios.

Also, arpeggio is a fun word to say. Arpeggio arpeggio arpeggio.

I will use this as an excuse to exclusively write serialism from now on.

Enjoy my tone rows, bitches.

they say if you play a stravinsky record backwards at 78rpm you can sort of make out someone saying bowman IS THIS TRUE?

[Walliard]

I kind of like this one.

In other news:

[Xzaz]

Location: Spamming the HS Music Thread with my tangentially related projects.

Living up to that pretty well.

*clarification
Specifically with the post chart. The remixes are cool and all.

[deathsbuddy]

That's not very nice.

[Xzaz]

Their words, not mine.

[Walliard]

It's cool. (male, by the way)

It's just that the old thread lasted almost a year while this one is moving faster than a page a day and I am slightly responsible.

[mysteriousOutsider]

Only 4th? I have to work on that.
