Feel free to skip my blathering below and just listen to the music though! + + I always felt like PS was at least partially a callback to 90s point ‘n click adventure games along the lines of Grim Fandango, Day of the Tentacle, Monkey Island, Sam & Max, etc. so this song is intended to reflect that. If you imagine PS as a video game, this is the song that would play at the very start of the adventure while our heroes are messing around in their offices and getting caught up in all kinds of shenanigans. + + Now, the nice thing about PS is that the three main characters (Problem Sleuth, Pickle Inspector and Ace Dick) all have some strong themes that make it easy to come up with appropriate musical motifs. In fact, the three musical instruments that appear fairly early in the comic ( A trumpet, a clarinet and a tuba) all are pretty obviously intended as metaphorical representations of the three heroes, which means that as a composer I have my work cut out for me. + + The idea with vertical layering in this song is that depending on which of the protagonists is currently ‘on screen’, the theme uses different motifs and lead instruments: when more than one protagonist is on screen their motifs are played at the same time and combined. Normal playback methods don’t support this kind of interactive music (many game engines do, however), so this particular version is more of a proof of concept that just demonstrates the different layers and highlights how they interact. + + The first section after the intro belongs to Problem Sleuth. He’s the leader of the bunch, and to reflect his mario-esque all-around average strength, his motif is played on a muted trumpet in the middle register with a combination of short and sustained notes. + + After that we come to Ace Dick. His motif consists of short notes played on a tuba and backed by trombones and timpani to throw some appropriate weight around. + + Pickle Inspector goes third with sustained notes played in the higher register of a clarinet. He’s a bit of a loopy character so there’s some glockenspiel and a lot of chroma… chromatics? chromaticity? to give it a bit of whimsy + + The fourth loop combines the motifs of all three characters to demonstrate the interaction between layers when all three are present. The final loop is a variation on the Problem Sleuth motif with an added theremin and a delay effect on all the instruments to give it a ‘spacy’ sound: we’re entering the realm of imagination and the music becomes appropriately screwy. --- Track: Mayorlovania Artists: diff --git a/album/of-troles-and-chiptumes.yaml b/album/of-troles-and-chiptumes.yaml index 3478de55..9d3faa78 100644 --- a/album/of-troles-and-chiptumes.yaml +++ b/album/of-troles-and-chiptumes.yaml @@ -29,6 +29,7 @@ Commentary: <img src="media/misc/Of Troles and Chiptunes - Album Art Prototype.png" width="400" height="400"> <i>Ngame:</i> + (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHjiWhS4Zks&t=1h29m08s">Community listening stream w/ chat</a>) --- Group: Main album diff --git a/album/p-s.yaml b/album/p-s.yaml index 4384ed5e..c38546f1 100644 --- a/album/p-s.yaml +++ b/album/p-s.yaml @@ -196,7 +196,7 @@ Duration: '3:33' URLs: - https://casualsunday.bandcamp.com/track/heir-of-grief-8-bit Referenced Tracks: -- Heir of Grief +- track:heir-of-grief --- Track: '[S]ynchronize' Artists: diff --git a/album/s-collide.yaml b/album/s-collide.yaml index d30a9522..313e6ecb 100644 --- a/album/s-collide.yaml +++ b/album/s-collide.yaml @@ -87,6 +87,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Typheus --- Track: Heir of Grief +Directory: heir-of-grief-collide Artists: - Tensei Contributors: @@ -102,7 +103,7 @@ URLs: - https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/heir-of-grief-2 - https://youtu.be/Es5mh7pBeec Referenced Tracks: -- Heir Conditioning +- track:heir-of-grief - Typheus Commentary: |- <i>James Roach:</i> diff --git a/album/songs-unsung.yaml b/album/songs-unsung.yaml new file mode 100644 index 00000000..39f5ea91 --- /dev/null +++ b/album/songs-unsung.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,51 @@ +Album: Songs Unsung +Artists: +- Tensei +Date: August 14, 2014 +Date Added: May 23, 2022 +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/album/songs-unsung +Cover Artists: +- Tensei +Has Track Art: false +Cover Art File Extension: png +Color: '#f6bd0e' +Groups: +- Fandom +- Tensei +Commentary: + <i>Tensei:</i> + + I’m releasing an EP containing some of the stuff that I’ve posted before, including among others the 5 minute ‘epic’ metal rearrangement of [[track:heir-conditioning|Heir Conditioning]]. +--- +Track: Before the Rains Come +Duration: '01:44' +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/before-the-rains-come +--- +Track: Heir of Grief +Directory: heir-of-grief +Duration: '05:22' +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/heir-of-grief +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_icK3AHDgc +Referenced Tracks: +- Heir Conditioning +--- +Track: Of Gods and Witches +Duration: '04:13' +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/of-gods-and-witches +- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpBfNFGA8qY +Referenced Tracks: +- track:doctor +--- +Track: Peaches and Curry +Duration: '02:01' +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/peaches-and-curry +--- +Track: Lighten Up +Duration: '02:12' +URLs: +- https://tenseimusic.bandcamp.com/track/lighten-up \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/album/theres-no-place-like-home.yaml b/album/theres-no-place-like-home.yaml index 3fc0b4f4..9b60e822 100644 --- a/album/theres-no-place-like-home.yaml +++ b/album/theres-no-place-like-home.yaml @@ -149,7 +149,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Moonsetter - Gaia Queen - Atomic Bonsai -- Of Gods and Witches +- track:of-gods-and-witches - Cyan Beast - Olive Rogue - track:ohgodwhat @@ -204,7 +204,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Penumbra Phantasm - Thanks for Playing - Cascade (Beta) -- Heir of Grief +- track:heir-of-grief - track:doctor - Descend --- diff --git a/flashes.yaml b/flashes.yaml index aed6a406..78ff5a17 100644 --- a/flashes.yaml +++ b/flashes.yaml @@ -1546,7 +1546,7 @@ Featured Tracks: - Creata (Canon Edit) - Oppa Toby Style - Eternity, Served Cold (Canon Edit) -- Heir of Grief +- track:heir-of-grief-collide Flash: '[S] Collide.'
