Feel free to ask me stuff if there are things about the songs I don’t cover that you want to know about or if you have any recording questions. - When I started writing the pieces for the contest I knew I wanted one of them to be based around a theme that already existed. Running through a few ideas I landed on doing a kind of jazzy shuffle piece around the main theme from '[track:the-beginning-of-something-really-excellent]'. As soon as I hit the first chord with the Rhodes piano it became smooth. The writing process was really quick and the piece was almost completely sketched out on the keyboard in one go. As the piece was intended for Jade - given the use of the earlier theme - I added in a little bass solo. + When I started writing the pieces for the contest I knew I wanted one of them to be based around a theme that already existed. Running through a few ideas I landed on doing a kind of jazzy shuffle piece around the main theme from [[track:the-beginning-of-something-really-excellent|'The Beginning of Something Really Excellent’]]. As soon as I hit the first chord with the Rhodes piano it became smooth. The writing process was really quick and the piece was almost completely sketched out on the keyboard in one go. As the piece was intended for Jade - given the use of the earlier theme - I added in a little bass solo. Technical note: Sometimes when I think I've finished writing something I'll find that it's a bit too long and something needs to change, this was one of those times. The sound you hear at 3:53 is the sound of me finding a way to avoid playing an extra intro/verse and tightening up the song a bit. Using almost the same build up heard earlier in the piece and changing the resolution at the end has the added advantage of (hopefully) making you think it's heading back towards the intro riff until the key shifts in the last bar and the song jumps straight to the final chorus. diff --git a/album/lofam2.yaml b/album/lofam2.yaml index 48a121b1..492b40c1 100644 --- a/album/lofam2.yaml +++ b/album/lofam2.yaml @@ -203,7 +203,7 @@ Commentary: |- <i>David Ellis:</i> (composer, [Tumblr](https://ducksual.tumblr.com/post/19764454588/a-study-in-skaia-this-is-essentially-an)) - This is essentially an arrangement of [[artist:mark-j-hadley|Mark Hadley’s]] ‘[[track:skies-of-skaia]]’ from the [[album:homestuck-vol-1|first Homestuck album]] with lots of acoustic guitars. + This is essentially an arrangement of [[artist:mark-j-hadley|Mark Hadley’s]] [[track:skies-of-skaia|‘Skies of Skaia’]] from the [[album:homestuck-vol-1|first Homestuck album]] with lots of acoustic guitars. I found that with slight retuning and a capo it was possible to play the whole of the main theme with harmonics on guitar and so was messing around with an arrangement based on that and ended up doing this. Without retuning it’s not really possible to play the top note of the last repeat cleanly. It was originally just going to be acoustics but then distortion happened for the second part. @@ -517,7 +517,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: Commentary: |- <i>Riki Tsuji:</i> (composer, [Tumblr](https://dog-noise.tumblr.com/post/18814442802)) - New remix!
