#ScribesAndMakers Mar. 10: Reveal the answer to yesterday's poll.

Haha! Tremble before my mighty works and despair, for I have anticipated this turn of events before even checking the blog and (assuming everything works) prepared the perfect answer to it!

The answer is technically ALL of them! But the "💥" version is the title screen of the first game and thus most correct and nobody would have suspected! (Or maybe has never had to shoulder a door in.)

MUAHAHAHAHA!

...Please clap; that formatting was an absolute bear to do manually since Fade In refused to export it in two columns. XD

Edit: Wait, we weren't supposed to all be doing our own? Holy carp, I got all excited because I hadn't really given away everything for this game yet! Now I just feel strange. XD

Edit 2: You know, I had a much friendlier "you're ALL right" response prepared for if it had been all three, but I saw the writing on the wall and scheduled this all last night.

Temple of Wind — Ancient ruins in empty sky cities... This is like a theme for an RPG dungeon or temple to explore.

Tragedy — for strings and piano. Tension, uncertainty, emotional vulnerability, heartache, delicate and fragile…

Sunlit Forest — an RPG forest theme. Sunlight streams down through a canopy of leaves. Tiny motes glimmer in beams of light as they fall to the forest floor.

Rain at Dawn (Violin and Piano Arrangement) — New music release today! A new arrangement of this song, which I could see being a title screen for an RPG maybe :)

Fateful Journey (Reprise)— This song is a build up to a grand finale- the climactic ending of an epic journey.

L’amour — A love theme. The first feelings of passion stirring, still new and uncertain.

Skyships — An airship theme! I like the fantasy skyships that look like regular wooden ships, but they soar through the sky. One of my favorite fantasy things.

Lone Wolf — A theme for a character who feels like they're better off on their own- tough on the surface, but might be trying to protect themselves from an emotional pain or burden.

Got kind of an obtuse music notation question for all my composer and performer friends out there:

I've got piece of music, and it has large sections of it that are based on a half/whole scale starting on F. There is no key signature given in the piece.

So here's m'y question: Most of the time it works out better to use flats (F,Gb,Ab,A,B,C,D,Eb), but occasionally it works out better to do sharps (F,F#,G#, etc.) would it be better to keep it all noted in flats for consistency sake, or to switch it to the sharps where it reads easier?

Right now I'm leaning towards keeping it consistent, but I'm open to either way because ultimately I want other people to have an easier time performing it rather than having it the way I would prefer.

@DBG3D @t36s Okay, I found another nice excerpt, a bit more minimal than the above, but maybe also more clear to hear the approach described earlier. Just to explain once more, all the samples used are only one-shot single notes (produced by Simon Pyke/Freefarm). All melodies, chords, chord progressions, rhythm and the overall arrangement are fully generated (mostly but not exclusively) via cellular automata. The composition system also had other means to create/control, e.g. probabilistically trigger the recording of notes/events of selected tracks/channels for a few bars and then replay these phrases later, maybe using a different time scale, transpose, mirror and/or with different instruments... This proved to be highly effective (and musical) in terms of longer progressions and to create more interesting multilayered compositions/progressions. Some phrases were kept in a memory pool for up to 12 hours (the piece ran for 3 months)...

As you can hopefully tell, the visuals for that installation were audio-responsive (not really audio per se, but responding to the events of the composer). Likewise, if the visuals would become too agitated/intense, an event would be sent to the composer to quickly dial down/thin out the musical intensity (e.g. trigger tempo change, mute tracks, lower velocity etc.). This hybrid, coupled two-way feedback worked very well in practice and there were so many moments I wish I would have recordings of...

Been doing "not awful" with daily timed freewriting; need to somehow implement that into lyric writing and ESPECIALLY music composition bc after the last time I sat down at the piano I pushed too hard and got myself stuck and now I'm resisting doing more because I feel blocked…
