A Rap, or maybe Carrie Underwood by Taizen

New blog title because of the first comment below


This has been a pretty productive week, as far as composition goes, anyway. I need to stop being distracted and finish Chaos Weapon at the very least, before my parents act upon their daft ideas to send me to the military or something.

Actually, this has been a really productive peak, period. Since about two months ago, I've produced nearly 30 straight minutes of listenable things. This has… never ever happened.

So, representing the past two weeks of free time I've thrown away to FL Studio, I present the seven newest things I've scribbled out.

Storia Strana: vs. Queen Fraeia

Lunacy Star: "Eve of Ragnarok ~ Familiar Places"

Storia Strana: vs. King Macaiah

( V V this goes hand-in-hand with V V )

Storia Strana: vs. Duchetis

Storia Strana: "Theme of Cesare"

Lunacy Star: "Antisanctuary"

Storia Strana: unused track

*sits down and patiently waits for criticism*

So, I just finished mixing together a horrible, cheesy song made for a project in my oklahoma history class.

I present a educational discourse on the tornado from 14 years ago.

I actually didn't write the lyrics for this one. But I did write the background music stuff. It's just… I'm not sure how to describe how ridiculous this is.

I feel like your compositional technique has become more lazy.

Just my two cents.

This is weird. Taizen, this is weird.

Hm, but I don't have a technique!

I just have realized a general trend among everything I've made and tried to streamline it.

My usual process is lead > bass > drums > background rhythms, then > "chorus" section > build-ups > working towards a loop, if applicable > drown it in audio filters.

Although in the case of the Storia Strana music, it's more a challenge to create music based on themes from things that don't exist.
