I get what you mean about simplicity vs. intricacy, but I just want to let you know that it's the intricate stuff that I love about your songs. Pretty much every example listed here is in my Top 25 played of HS music. Especially for UU (or even Descend), I'd be curious to see what the software/file even looks like because that song was all sorts of crazy and had so much going on in it.
Intricate things are cool, but I need to learn the simple groundwork so I can start building songs up instead of across.
Easily my most complex track:
Dude your backyard looks like it was totally awesome for kidadventures. Was it?
yeah we played pretend all the time and there was a swingset on a big tree in the back in this cool little dirty alcove until the tree got hit by lightning and collapsed, and now there’s just a ton of foliage. still lots of bugs out there, and birds sometimes. there was a banana slug under a log a while back.
hey hey rad hey rad let's be bros
can I be a sister
How long does it take you to compose a song? How do you decide what a song is going to sound like for any given prompt or request you're given? That last question is worded weird but I hope you get what I'm trying to ask. :B
I usually don’t get requests (besides UU + Terezi Owns) and when I do it’s within a set of parameters so I dunno, I just go with what I think would force Andrew to make a cool animation for the circumstances.
How long it takes me to compose a song depends on how I compose it and what’s involved - the number of instruments, the structure. Some songs it takes FOREVER when there’s a lot of intricate stuff that I keep messing with, like Descend or BR8K Spider. Other songs, like that really quick Aradia thing I posted, take me an hour.
Example: For Rumble and the Rink I think the reason it took so long is because I used my usual structure of “do whatever the hell you want” rather than sticking with generic rock. Keeping it simple probably would have made it a hell of a lot easier and probably sounded better to most people/more period accurate in retrospect… so just because something’s hard to do or takes longer doesn’t make it better necessarily.
This applies to other art too. Intricacy can be alluring, but sometimes the most powerful message is the one presented simply.
Hey Radiater!
I just wanted to check in and see how everything is going,
hopefully well?
Other than working on trying to add to those few songs you made..
did you write anything new?
Just finished my tracks for the album. Terezi Owns is slightly polished up but nothin’ really happened to it, but my other 2 I put a lot of effort into. I don’t expect people to piss themselves over them ‘cuz they’re not my usual stuff, but I had fun working on them.
Now I am working on tracks for the NEXT album.
Listen
was testing shitty instruments and accidentally made the melody for aradia’s theme pre-death. I might arrange it in the future with non-shitty instruments, because I kinda like it a lot.
with the bass I thought it was going somewhere else at first.
i really want these instruments
i wanna make something similar to the ocarina of time opening but out in front of the ocean
where did you think it was gonna go? I’m interested to know! also the piano, accordion, and guitar are from earthbound, heheheh.
And yeah, I’d like to hear that if you do it!
