[dorianbrightmusic]

are you named after the dorian mode

apologies for not answering sooner. Yes, I am. Smartass little bastard 12-year-old me named himself after a goddamn music pun. And she wasn’t wrong, since the dorian mode sounds so fricken bright in a nice brain-scratching way

#that said. Shoutout to Phrygian and Lydian for being the most fun modes. Locrian is also cool but finicky to use #And to the bIII-I progression in ionian for being such a chunky way to reharmonise a perfect cadence

[eclecticopposition]

someone's gotta make phrygian's triumphant musical theme that comes out in scenes like this and name it A Single Shot

#we wish we knew how to make music #hard mode is trying to convey the branched and Keith's description of the weird music that phrygian's true form is #but also we want a very very specific motif from the first A Single Shot thing in Partizan #like guys. guys. do you see this anime with us #can you hear it coming back whenever phrygian takes down something huge by themself in one hit #and the audience going nuts #it's not the main theme this is its own song and it's called a single shot and it is just for this beat #a rare beat but it IS recurring and it's SO cool #the BUILDING anticipation of teammates setting this shit up and everyone coming the fuck together #and then Phrygian giving it all they've got and hitting the final blow #and it's so cool #and then we are coasting on the comedown from that big BAM! climax in the song as Phrygian comes to talk to that prisoner #like this is just paperwork this is just closing it out this is just getting your reward #and then something goes wrong with the music and Phrygian's attempt fails and the guy doesn't leave #and the sound of the principality asserts itself and Phrygian gets hit with war-weary #please someone make this anime please #friends at the table #Palisade #Palisade spoilers #partizan spoilers #Partizan #first mate Phrygian our beloved

i wish music jargon wasn't so. Hard

#phrygian mode this tonality that. girl i just like to make sounds.

[prettyhatmachine]

I have a singing exam and I have to sing a bunch of the modes

I feel like the locrian mode is always actively antagonising me

#why is she like that #locrian..she’s actually insane #she’s like the Scorpio of the modes #locrian is the most feminine of the modes also #mixolydian is a boy btw #so is phrygian #Lydian has nb swag

eleven by ive really makes me wish i had paid more attention when we learned about modes in music theory class bc i’m really lost </3

#whenever i can't make sense of a melody or chord progression there's usually smth going on with the modes #i bet it's phrygian or dorian or smth like that #or maybe something completely different but it's definitely not a regular major or minor scale #i don't like it when i can't decypher a chord progression! i want to understand let me in!!!! #people who say pop can't be musically complex have no idea what they're talking about 😪 #io.txt

phrygian masquerade fit (this is my best shot.) + normal head mode + miscellanious stuff listen i cant explain it to you but its literally so fun to me to draw cable shapes even if it is also incredibly arduous

#friends at the table #fatt #palisade #palisade spoilers #phrygian #rosa art #palisade 06 #pal06 #whatever. look at it #am i using arduous right?i dont know. dont much care its a fun word. #the g gets kind of lost in the tangle but. well just look harder its there. frankly a very annoying letter to form ymca style #edit: noone pointed out my blunder of just leaving in a word that didnt make sense.come on. come on.

04/05/2023 The Blue Haired Girlfriend spotted a couple morels while we were walking down to the mailbox. Delicious! We've never seen morels here before.

Every year, in spring and autumn, when the light comes through the rain in a particular way, we go through a process foragers sometimes call "getting your mushroom eyes." At first you look at pieces of the forest one after another: the shadow of a likely tree, a mossy hollow, a fallen log, a pile of rotting leaves. Mushrooms could be in this place, or that one, and you focus on each possibility one at a time, switch between them with a sort of internal click. But as the rains continue and the world greens, we start to read the forest as a whole story, instead of sounding out each individual shadow and clump of moss. There's a trick to it that has to be relearned each season, a porousness, a way of looking at the world and letting it flow through you and feeling the underlying currents and patterns.

Until one day you are walking in the woods and there are mushrooms everywhere and it doesn’t seem possible you didn’t see them before. Like you've gone through a hidden doorway into a different world, stranger and truer than the old one.

The thing that is most like getting your mushroom eyes is falling in love. You meet someone. A musician: you talk about synthesizers and phrygian mode. You look at the moon together when you are sleepless thousands of kilometers apart. You've never been good at conversation, but she listens to everyone - waiters and tow truck drivers and delivery people - and you learn that everyone has a story so beautiful that listening to them tell it feels like wings opening inside your ribcage. At first the glimpses of the other world are piecemeal, clicking into and out of focus - like maybe you hear a synthesizer in grocery store background music, and you tell your friends, "hey, you know, my girlfriend is a musician," and they smile tolerantly. (It is not the first time they have heard this.)

  Until one day you realize you can feel the phase of the moon without looking at it, the mode of a song is as clear as its lyrics, and that when you talk to a stranger you can see a soft light in them now, like a lantern through stained glass. It doesn’t seem possible that you didn’t see these things before, somehow. You have come through the door of her, to a better world, vaster and stranger and truer. We enjoy cooking, but I think more than the occasional leaf or mushroom for the kitchen, the thing we love about foraging is to love the world, together.

I've been finally getting myself to learn music theory as of late so I'm curious: do you have a favourite chord progression? Or maybe a small list of recurring ones you like to use fairly often?

i have quite a few, yes! in no particular order:

I maj 7 -> IV maj 7 -> I maj 7 -> bVII dominant 7

this one is an elaboration on the soothing Imaj7 - IVmaj7 vamp you hear in a lot of lo-fi hip hop and tranquil acoustic guitar pieces. the bVII dominant chord is the secret sauce here; it's functionally similar to a minor IV used at the end of a major progression (think "creep" by radiohead), which gives it a wonderfully wistful, bittersweet feeling. however i like using it more than the minor IV because it moves me even more, and i basically never hear it used so it feels unexpected!

where i learned it: messing around :) where i've used it: the world to me and patchwork

IV maj 7 -> V maj -> III min 7 -> VI min (-> II min 7 -> V dominant 7 -> I maj 7)

aka the royal road progression! you hear it everywhere for a reason; it's loaded with functional harmony and full of movement, making memorable melody writing a breeze. and it's also just... jam packed with feeling, you know? what that feeling is depends a lot on the rhythm, voicing, and arrangement; with an upbeat tempo and large ensemble it can be bombastic and filled with melodrama, yet stripped back to a lilting music box it can be dreamy and yearning. it's easy, it's versatile, it works. what more could you ask for? where i learned it: every anime opening theme ever where i've used it: chasing dreams, star power, and many more

I min -> bVI maj -> IV min -> bII maj 7

this one is kind of like if you built a progression out from each of the notes in the major seventh chord found in the second scale degree of the phrygian mode, starting with the seventh of the chord and descending by thirds to the root. at least, that's how it makes sense to me when i try to put it into theory jargon. i just think it sounds nice. really tense. it loops super elegantly, too.

where i learned it: doom ii - opening to hell by bobby prince where i've used it: t r a n s c e n d and twin moon dance

i think i'll leave it there for today. there are more, but the brain fog is winning right now :') might add to this in the future. thanks for asking, and best of luck with the learning! 💓

fatt pinup week 7: challenge mode

The figure in bismuth finds some chuck tingle books on phrygian's bookshelves, this one's "pounded in the butt by a sentient musical chord"

Got a new clock and was struck by this sentence in the instruction booklet.

I reckon lydian is the “live, laugh, love” mode, and phrygian is for PhD ponderances.

Tell me the Pokémon music thoughts??? :000

TWO whole Pokemon music asks WOOHOO!!!!! These past few days I’ve been on a kick of listening to Scarlet and Violet’s OST and downloading my faves (since I wanted to wait until the DLC had been released and then play through it fully before doing so) and it might be one of my favorite soundtracks to date. That being said here are the tracks I’m currently the most feral about:

Battle! (Team Star Boss)

The loop for this one is almost SIX MINUTES LONG which is a smart choice for how long and difficult some of these fights tend to be—and it’s six minutes of pure unadulterated musical goodness. Obviously the killer synths and guitars are a highlight here, but what really makes this theme (and the rest of the Team Star themes) special is how the harsh instrumentation is contrasted with sections containing emotional melodies and harmonies that give a sense of determination and hope—which fits in with Team Star’s storyline as former victims of bullying and doing their best to persevere in spite of that. All their themes are also composed by one of their bosses in-universe which is a fun lore detail (shoutout to my boy Giacomo I love him <3)

South Province

This one basically functions as the theme of the Paldea Region—this leitmotif (composed by our beloved Toby Fox) appears a LOT in various places within the soundtrack, particularly in cutscenes. It’s a great theme for exploring out and about in the game’s open world, and the sunny A major is a great key choice which is always a win in my book. I’m also a big fan of the piano version that plays while you’re walking in the overworld (as opposed to using your mount Koraidon/Miraidon) as well as the beautiful arrangement used at the end of the main story (if I had a nickel for every time a piano theme at the end of a Pokemon game made me cry I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice).

Showdown! (Champion Kieran)

I haven’t had a lot of time to get myself acquainted with much of the DLC soundtrack, but I wanted to include at least one in this list because there’s a lot of quality stuff worth shouting out. This is the last of Kieran’s three battle themes (technically there’s four but the final one isn’t a full battle and is mostly comprised of Terapagos’ motif as opposed to his own so I’m omitting it here) and there’s an interesting transformation that happens across each of them—it starts out mostly with traditional instrumentation and only mild chromaticism (which almost all battle themes have at least a little of) but transforms into something harsher by adding electric guitars/synths and more dissonant, darker harmonies (this one makes heavy use of Phrygian and Locrian elements—Phrygian is a mode that’s very similar to the minor scale but uses a flat 2nd scale degree, so for a piece in E minor like this one that would mean using an F natural as opposed to an F#. Locrian is the same as Phrygian but with a flat 5 added as well, meaning B♭ as opposed to B natural. These flat notes serve to darken the overall sound), which corresponds to Kieran’s arc of becoming bitter and resentful as he suffers repeated losses at the hands of the player. I’m also tickled by the fact that his battle themes are all in E minor which is the softest and gentlest minor to my ears—you can hide under those edgy guitars all you want Kieran but we all know you’re still baby :3

Area Zero

And we’ve saved the best for last because this is hands down my FAVORITE theme from this game; it’s not even a contest. I have such a vivid memory of playing through Scarlet for the first time a year ago and being incredibly intrigued about what was hiding in the massive crater at the region’s center (I tried flying/leaping in with Koraidon and lurking outside the Zero Gate yelling “LET ME INNNN” more times than I can count lmao)—and I was not at all disappointed when I got there because this is straight up one of the prettiest areas in the whole game. However. HOWEVER. NOTHING could have possibly prepared me for the breathtakingly beautiful music that accompanies this place—I remember stopping in my tracks as soon as I heard that low brass kick in, and then the chanting. Oh my lord the CHANTING. Honestly I was sold right then and there but WE’RE STILL NOT DONE MAKING THE MUSIC OF THE GODS BECAUSE SWEET MOTHER MARY THAT SYNTH????? TOOK ME THE FUCK OUT—I lose my everliving shit at anything even resembling an erhu in music because its voice-like timbre is so…raw and emotional in a way I really don’t know how to describe; all I know is it rocks me to my core to the point that I have to watch my breathing when I listen to a piece that has one lest I start hyperventilating (because it’s powerful enough to literally induce a physiological response out of me). Needless to say I was frozen in place for at LEAST ten minutes just to take it all in; that initial experience was utterly magical and I wish more than anything I could go back in time to live that feeling again.

But that very long preface aside, there are a couple other things about this piece worth noting—the first being that E♭ minor is an IMMACULATE key choice in my opinion. In my synesthesia it primarily represents what I call “the crushing black weight of despair,” but it also functions very nicely in any intense, high-stakes situation, which fits beautifully with the circumstances surrounding Area Zero in-game. It’s a walled garden filled with invasive wildlife from the distant past/future that poses an imminent threat to Paldea’s ecosystem should they find a means of escaping to the outside; in fact, we learn from the professor that some species have already managed to do so. I also quite like how the instrumentation is vastly different from every other piece of music you’ll hear in Paldea’s overworld, which has primarily been orchestral arrangements up to this point—but here, it’s a blend of primal and futuristic sounds that perfectly captures the collision of the present and the past/future. So yeah if you couldn’t tell I am so so so so unhinged about everything this theme represents and I fully expect to be just as mentally unwell about it YEARS down the line (because believe me, I’ve certainly got the track record for it).

Scarlet and Violet’s music is just so so good—and again, obligatory “this is just the tip of the iceberg that is everything I love about this soundtrack” but I hope you enjoyed my insights into what makes this music so special!
