I guess it's just part of central air. every so often it shifts to hit the edge and briefly makes a repetitive clicking sound before kicking itself off the wall. this happens with a period of anywhere from less than a second to over thirty seconds, and the clicking usually lasts about two seconds but can go up to say twenty.
I can also hear people shifting in beds at totally irregular intervals.
(note that this and the previous two posts did not involve me actulaly playing anything from my speakers -- it was all music going on in my head)
edit: and now it's the mithalas cathedral theme
edit: the strings in that have made me think of "Nature" from eXceed 1
and now it's back to Sexy Naughty Bitchy
wait, what am i supposed to do? i (seriously) don't get it.
* Well, I don't know Tata Young. I only got that name from a Youtube vid.
* Dave Wise and others worked on Donkey Kong Country. Wise is probably the most famous of the bunch, but I think Robin Beanland may have helped him with the DKC1 soundtrack. The track itself is a compound-time higher-stress remix of the main DKC "Jungle Hijinx" theme.
* The soundtrack of Aquaria was done by Alec Holowka, who specifically wrote the soundtrack to be tonally and motivically coherent (or repetitive, if you're not in the mood for it) -- most tracks are in D minor / F major, in order to accommodate a chanting-based game mechanic. Most of the tracks are in 4 time, as well. And many do in fact share one common leitmotif, though it's not always hugely prominent. But due to these similarities, they DO tend to bleed into each other mentally. I've only listened to one other OST by Alec Holowka, for Crayon Physics Deluxe, and it has a similarly ambient/melodic/"pretty" sound to it.
* Okay, I'm also not familiar with Shibayan (the composer for eXceed - Gun Bullet Children, a.k.a. eXceed 1.) All I know is that someone's told me that that OST is like European techno or acid trance or something like that. Also I probably listen to it "wrong" in the sense that I naturally pay more attention to things like tonality and harmony than instrumentation/samples but then again I am enjoying it so who's to say it's really all that wrong.
I didn't want to share youtube vids since they're cluttery and I saw you didn't use them so I wanted to respect that.
songs with each other not everything has to be couched in 55 layers of
irony or some kind of weird joke, there is nothing to get, I described
exactly the thread's purpose in the opening post and if you're not
interested just don't post in it and let it die a natural death.
well i _am_ in fact posting what i am in fact listening to at the time, and i am sometimes commenting on what i am listening to as well.
sorry i don't know any of the stuff you posted so i can't comment on it.
Read this post
now that i have gotten out of bed i am listening to Roberto di Marino - Bandoneón Concerto (first movement)
it's a bit cliché, maybe, i don't know how to describe my feeling of adequacy
Makes me think about why we associate dark places with low notes and bright places with high notes...
Led Zeppelin - Night Flight
This is one of the tracks that's not in D minor / F major. It's in E phrygian, which basically meant that Naija's chanting scale had to change to D dorian (i.e. include a B natural instead of B flat). While this greatly constrained the tonality variety in this OST, it also led to some interesting creative choices.
Incidentally, it probably says something about how my mind interprets tonality in terms of meaning, since the OST being relatively uniform tonality-wise gave me a sense of similarity to most of the areas in the game. For example, the Energy Temple (the area with this track here) feels more different from the Home Waters area than the difference between the Forest and Home Waters areas.
These saxophones sound a bit too "80s" for my taste, but everything else is great.
Blues. Also, a TF2 track that's NOT in E minor, lol. (The key of E minor dominates the soundtrack. And by soundtrack, I mean assortment of randomly-selected title screen themes, and a few fanfares.)
and suddenly it's morphed into Tiny Tim - Living in the Sunlight
yeah, having one of those loopy moments. That is a nice song.
anyway
Led Zeppelin - Brandy & Coke
this band knew how to thrash
