this is so reformed

Any eta on the performance?

this is what performance art means dude

this is art

I'm impressed this song wasn't written in 1800 or something. 😆

this screams old youtube

360k views isnt enough for this masterpiece

Lmao

i feel like a fairy in a garden

Esa leccion me esta volviendo loco😅

I do this in the outlining stage of my playwriting. He's been a huge inspiration to my writing.

This feels like it should’ve been made 12 yrs ago or smth.

This song feels like a shitpost from the 2010’s and yet it’s not a shitpost and it’s actually very good holy shit

Sheet music for this arrangement is now up on my website! Link in description.

Nice! Thanks for sharing the details of it, too. So now that you've arrived at the end of this project, here's a question for you: Was it as hard/helpful/whatever-you-expected as you thought it would be when you began to share this process with us? Did it impact your composing? Regardless of whether it met your expectations or is something you'd ever want to do again, I think it was a brave thing to attempt, and you did a great job sticking with it! 🎉

1) CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for letting us journey along with you. It's been really fun and educational! 2) For a title, the alarmingly old LOTR meme "They're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" is stuck in my head, which is awful, because I can't remember the specific plot points of the movies. In any case, the Internet gave me a summary, and Isengard apparently wasn't a hope-filled place, until it was destroyed by sentient trees. So maybe "Work of the Ents"? Or thinking of hope breaking through, maybe you went with something truly magical like "Crepuscular Rays" 😝🤣 (Told you I'm awful at this!) 3) Will we be able to hear the whole finished piece?

Yay for a good friend who can see the truth and share it in a constructive way. ☀️

Very interesting! I had to think about this for a long time. We moved recently, so I haven't had any of my own creative projects for about half of this year during packing and unpacking. So I guess one of the most successful "edits" I've done this year is to a special allergy-safe box mix for chocolate chip cookies. The addition of ube (Japanese sweet potato) extract added a much-needed savory note that made these a win even for people who don't share my dietary restrictions. 🎉

Writing, yes-computers really make it easy to shuffle stuff around, and you can so easily chop out a section, then flip back and forth between before and after with the undo button. Painting, no-I can rarely get the new paint to lie flat and perfectly match the original layer.

How cool! I've never encountered that piece before, but I'm definitely going to go look up a recording!

Catching up on a few days of your shorts that I've missed, but you didn't miss anything from me. I'm awful at titles! 😄 They're either flat and straightforward or they veer into cheesiness when I try to make them special. 🤣 I recently found some magazine articles that I got published as a teen, and I about died of cringe at the titles.

I know the feeling. I'm not sure why but I would always go blank whenever asked to name something, and then I'd come up with one hours later when I give up thinking about it

😂😂😂😂

The correct answer is 4!

That's such an important skill! Can I suggest something that I learned from my computer programmer husband? He's amazing at churning out ideas and creating interesting projects where he teaches himself new things in his free time. There is often stuff that doesn't make the final cut into the completed rendition of his different experiments, so he stashes that leftover code somewhere to use in future projects. It's shocking to me how frequently he saves himself time at work by digging into his code pile and unearthing things he made and liked in his personal time, but previously didn't need! I wonder if it would be useful to you to save the bits that you edit out and see if they are the perfect puzzle piece for a future composition? 🤔 I think for me, the time I most often have to make that tough choice between two diverging paths is when making supper. We love spices, but it's not going to be delish if I dump the whole spice cabinet into the saucepan, you know? A chicken soup can easily become Mexican- or Chinese-inspired, but salsa and sesame and fish sauce don't really go together in my mind! Sometimes the thing that makes the project special is what you know to leave out of it. :)

I don't know why I've never realized that musical compositions would need to be edited after a draft. 🤦‍♀️ Very cool. I have spent many hours this month proofreading and further editing two stories that my long time, long distance friend is entering into contests, so drafts are on my mind! Artists are known for not liking rules, so assume that many people *won't* do this process, but this is what I was taught in college. In 2-dimensional art, it's common to first do a pile of sketches where you just work out small parts of the eventual bigger picture. (We still love to look at the ones that Leonardo da Vinci drew!)Then, many people will create some small, colorized versions to get a feel for different color scheme options. Then, you might start outlining general shapes on a canvas, or a wall, or whatever. Some people prefer doing an underpainting, which is just covering the whole canvas with a couple blocks of color that show lighter and darker areas. Then, layers of progressively smaller shapes are added as objects come into existence. I usually consider a first draft done when I can look at it, and know that I put in all the main blocks of colors, but still see a million things I need to change. Like, if it was a nature scene, it would have a boring flat field and some chunky trees and some basic clouds, but I could still easily chop out some of those trees or move around the clouds without crying about how many hours were wasted. The leaves, flowers, butterflies, and other details will show up in draft 4-6, for me, at least. ☁️🌳🪻☁️☀️

🤯 I lost track because it sounded like you were playing a duet with yourself. Very cool.

When it comes to weight training, everybody's body has it's own maximum recoverable volume which is the most that they can workout and still be considered rested between sessions. If you really like training your back and want to train it more, you'd have to choose another muscle to not train as much so that you can train your back more but still be recovered afterwards.

yes it works, i‘ve played the bass trombone for about a month and that’s not that hard

It's quite nice. Almost as if the piano is cheering up the horns

I’d like to bring this to your attention: Because this video went viral, some channel/website called Tunescribers made free sheet music of it, posted this video with the sheet music over the top to advertise their services, and I assume this is all without permission. If so, something has to be done.

Since last week you said you were going for a LOTR, keep in mind that Tolkien once wrote "not all who wonder are lost." You'll be at the gap

See y’all in 5 years when it pops back up

In "behind the scenes" for movies, I've seen a similar idea where each scene has a color palette that emphasizes the desired emotional impact of that scene. The final footage will be color graded to match that color palette. Then they compose a timeline of the movie that includes only the color palette of each moment, so they can see how the feel of the movie progresses over time.

Oh wow, I love that. Looking back on past performances I've attended, it would have been so much fun to see an image like that on the back of the program, both to literally see what the composer was going for, and to contrast whether the music struck me the same way. I think there are probably thousands of disciplines that benefit from some kind of sketching beforehand. Architecture, obviously; needle and textile art often starts as a drawing first; I know my computer programmer husband draws out things related to his projects, although sometimes it's a little closer to flow charts than colorful, emotional stuff; and there can be quite a bit of doodling involved with creative cooking. :D

Yay for progress! 🎉

Early in marriage, I made a travesty of a dish that was forever after known as "Meat Crumble" because it was like a pan of sand and liquid grease (even though I'm pretty sure I followed a recipe for it!) Years later, I tried again, but some new diet restrictions had entered the chat, and ironically, they fixed everything. Now, my meat*loaf* recipe is amazing, and it's because I tried again with a bunch of new variables. Our nephew spent the holiday weekend with us and he and my husband are currently fighting over who gets the majority of the three leftover servings I froze for later. 🤣 Quite the redemption story for old Meat Crumble. 🎉

"And I still don't like it!" Very relatable. 😄

It's not fully in the realm of creativity but within weight training there are moments where a movement, that your body would usually respond to really well, becomes stale and you either have to find a way to modify the movement to "freshen" it up or find a new movement to put in it's place

instead of doing measure per measure do instrument per instrument and work ur way there that’s a better way of working

Sounds like a true first draft. Morning Wing with a little bit of guess and check when it comes to structuring work

First of all, Yaaaaaaaaay! 🎉 I thought it felt Lord of the Rings-y from the start, which is to say: great. There's a lot of impressive music in that series. I think my favorite movie music is Disney's Enchanted soundtrack. I can be a little cynical, so putting every Disney trope into a blender and coming out with this movie that is both very Disney while poking fun at being very Disney makes me laugh every time.

To start, favorite movie soundtrack has to be the Rocky franchise. Does super inspirational, motivational, has all the hype. And second, the Lord of the rings has songs where an instrument being played is chains on a metal shield as part of their percussion section. Could be interesting

But isn't it fun to get all spaghetti-hands as you try to find the awkward keys penned in there by some overly-optimistic composer? 🤪😄 I mostly was a clarinet and saxophone girl in school and discovered on my own time that I really enjoy polkas and old Dixieland jazz. I definitely came upon some troubling sequences in handwritten scores and was like, "Wait, what?! Whose hands can even do that?!" while flipping frantically through my old lesson books looking for alternate fingering options... that never seemed to exist when I needed them most. 😂 Thanks for the funny memories. My current art project dilemma is this: my husband and I just moved into a new apartment. It's pretty and is new construction, so we're the first people to call it home. So I'm REALLY taking a lot of steps to keep it extra nice. Including being extra careful about high humidity and mold (Florida 😫) by using humidity monitors, a dehumidifier, etc. In other states, I could grab a scrap of just about anything including cardboard, paint it up, even add texture with spackling or something like that, and then hang it wherever I want, feeling pretty confident that it wouldn't absorb too much moisture from the air, even while a steamy bathroom was venting. But here, that's a real concern. I've been going through the different options: paper will curl and mold, wood will swell and mold, canvas will start to sag and eventually mold, a lot of metal sheets will rust (and might be difficult to get paint to stick? 🤔) So I'm thinking of buying something called Hardie Backer board used in construction behind tiles in bathrooms and painting on that as if it's canvas. From what I've read, it's waterproof concrete board, so it'll have its own challenges (like how to get it to hang on the wall since it's heavy) but it's at least an interesting option to consider for a big feature piece on a blank wall in my currently very boring bathroom. Definitely one of those situations where I could paint the same colorful thing on any of those surfaces and really love it, but end up quickly hating the long term results as it quickly starts to deteriorate if I choose the wrong foundation. It's interesting to realize that that kind of seems-good-but-is-it-really? dilemma is probably in most parts of life and spheres of interest. Keep up the good work! 🎉

This isn't visual art, but literature... When writing, it's important to choose the words that have just the right meaning. But then, it's also important to make sure that you don't tangle someone's tongue when they try to say them Regardless of whether an author expects to record an audiobook, phrases that are complicated to say also become complicated for many people to read from the page. That seems similar to what you're talking about. You don't want to tax someone's dexterity in the mechanics of what you write.

Hmm, I'll keep thinking about this one. My husband really likes the older music from Two Steps to Hell. They have definitely mastered emotional shifts. This song doesn't really start with what I'd consider despair, but you might enjoy it anyway. It's listed on their channel as "Thomas Bergersen - Creation of Earth (Sun)" I'll check with my love tomorrow and see if he has any other suggestions since he listens to music almost nonstop!

Good tactic!
