I cringed hard at that episode. For a show that’s supposed to be targeting adults, I thought the Rachel Bloom bit was incredibly juvenile. I don’t care who the presenter is — as soon as they start espousing lewd rhetoric on a show to articulate a point (a pretty poor one, at that), they instantly lose all credibility…

“An ordinary man in a dead end job discovers that he is actually the descendant of an ancient hero. He must travel to a mystical world to train to become a Monster Hunter, before the mythical creatures from that world destroy ours.”

...

They should call this franchise Animal Double Crossing, because you’re constantly getting fucked over.

I guess what really kills my interest in this guy’s work is that he blatantly overuses secondary dominant and major third transpositions. Sure, it gives his work a distinct sound. I love the textures. I dig the melodies. But the entire narratives of his works are generic.

... well, definitely not Game of Thrones. There are way too many characters, so you’d be switching perspectives every three minutes.

Doesn’t really work for metal music, considering that the lyrical content is often violent and laden with vulgar phrases (etc., Periphery, The Contortionist). It’s a good thing some musicians don’t really depend or need YouTube monetization, but for people who are just starting out like me or other bands, that’s one…

Should say “old sport”, not chief. Much disappoint.

Gave you a star for the Mitchell And Webb reference. Wish I could give you a second star because of how applicable the reference is.

You magnificent son of a bitch.

You know what, fuck this half-measure crap. You’re missing the point. It isn’t about making an “alpha male” display or being tough, it’s about responding with an appropriate level of violence. It wasn’t just laying on the road. Just going up to a random animal and doing that — that’s abusive, sure. The cat viciously…

Wuh-oh, we’ve got a badass in here.

Even if the tracks are being compressed by YouTube, the audio itself was already compressed to some extent to begin with. It’s a non-issue.

Oh, gee. That was really awe-inspiring. I can substitute a popular, modern concept with a ridiculous concept and sound satirical/smart, too. You could literally apply that logic to anything that might be construed as dangerous and get a cheap and easy response of approval.

Thanks! I’m glad you like what I’ve got so far. Your stuff is also really awesome and I can’t wait to see what else you come up with. You are right though, technically the medium doesn’t and shouldn’t matter (although I have my preferences for certain environments over others).

That’s really cool! I don’t use real hardware unfortunately. For now, I’m just sticking to Famitracker. I may move on to Deflemask to work on a Mega Drive/Genesis-like album after I’m finished with my current one.

Cool! I’ve done the same. Listening to Gravity Well as we speak, it’s a really cool track. As for my stuff, be forewarned that I pander more to chipmusic for the videogamey kind of aesthetic, writing stuff that evokes a particular theme or sounds like it belongs to a particular level. I try to stretch technical and…

Been reading the thread. If you’re looking for new stuff (and don’t mind a composer shamelessly plugging his stuff!), I write chiptune. Here’s some stuff I’m working on for my first album.

Wow, you're not an abrasive character at all.

… he never claimed to be?
