just came back from hell- I MEAN MY ORCHESTRA CONCERT

Anyways just as I thought the violins ruined everything

As a viola, here was my experience (and every single other viola experienced this)

Also this is literally just a rant

Firstly. I just need get out that the FUCKING VIOLAS ARE ALWAYS FORGOTTEN IM SOBBING

They literally forgot about us. And I'm not even lying THEY FORGOT TO TUNE US AND THE VIOLAS ENDED UP COMING LATE BECAUSE WE WERE TUNED LAST MINUTE

oh, and speaking of tuning. We can't tune ourselves because guess who is so bad that we aren't trusted to tune ourselves?

Thats right! THE FUCKING VIOLINS.

Not only that, but you want to know what happened while we were waiting to be tuned?

The violins were still trying to learn the pieces.

And I don't mean they were just practicing to try and get better.. no no, thr violins are shitty. Why would you expect that from them?

The Orchestra teacher was making sure they actually could play the songs (they couldn't. They were so bad.)

Also, in one of the songs we were meant to have the lights off for extra effect. To make it more fun or whatever, yknow?

Well guess who was so bad and couldn't memorize the song that ruined it for everyone and prevented the whole Orchestra from playing in the dark?

The violins.

To make it worse, that song was the EASIEST ONE. For that song you could fucking learn till like.. measure 9 and you'd have almost the whole song done. (It was a very repetitive song)

I swear to God the violins in my orchestra are so shitty

And also, if I'm gonna be real. The violas are the best ones there. We played best I won't lie, but guess what? We never get anything special. Never any special melodies, difficult parts, or anything special whatsoever.

Its putting good skill to waste.

Moral of story, the violins are shitty, the violas are forgotten, and the violas should have the violins part because we could play it better.

Astrid Sonne, Great Doubt

New music Wednesday

The third album by Danish-born, London-based composer Astrid Sonne places significant emphasis on subtle details. Through a sparse yet extremely powerful blend of wonky pop sounds, all along the album, the artist skillfully navigates between a delicate sense of unease and wistful reminiscence, on which she reflects on themes of love, parenthood, and the unknown future.

I’m so obsessed with Viola in the musical because as far as I can tell she just shows up to 1. Make the drama 10x worse 2. Promote her magic potion 3. Insult the audience. And then she leaves to let things play out on their own.

i dont care what anyone says, when Rashawn Scott said:

"That's not fair. That's not fair. That's not fair at all. She just poured her heart out to us for the first time in forever, why would you say that to her? That's horrible Mama. I don't like that at all, I really don't,"

i was emotionally punched in the gut more than any dimension 20 moment aired thus far.

her performance in that whole episode made me feel more than any TV show or movie that I've seen. give her all the praise! give her all the awards! give her all the roles!

[sarkylittlemonster]

Ohhhhhhhh, I see

Better?

See this one's smaller, my mistake, the last one must have been a violin :) whoai I didn't know there were so many ways to play them :) you're so talented :)

A viola player

No. No that is not a viola. I am going to stab you with my bow.

I've probably talked about this before but Kazuma's themes fucking kill me.

Samurai On A Mission and Kazuma Asogi: Nocturne are both in a major key. Samurai on a Mission feels happy. It makes you excited. Nocturne's slower, and it's more bittersweet. But it still fills you with optimism. It still feels good to listen to. It gives you the feeling that even if Kazuma's gone, this isn't the end. There's still stuff Ryunosuke needs to do in Kazuma's place.

Compare them to His Glorious Return and A Prosecutor, Reborn, and it's the complete opposite. The opening to His Glorious Return feels just slightly off. Like I don't think it's in a different key than Samurai on a Mission, but it's different enough to just feel off. I think it might be the instruments honestly. His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission (obviously it's the same motif but His Glorious Return is closer to Nocturne than Samurai on a Mission because it's slower).

And THEN you get to A Prosecutor, Reborn. How fucking dare they. At this point in the game, not just is Kazuma prosecuting Barok, but his motive is made clear to be revenge (iirc). A Prosecutor, Reborn is basically just Samurai on a Mission with different instruments and in a minor key. A Prosecutor, Reborn specifically has fairly prominent harpsichord in it. The same also applies to Barok's theme. You get the vibe that something is seriously wrong here.

You can literally understand Kazuma's arc before The Resolve of Ryunosuke Naruhodo from his themes alone. That's. impressive. Like just to be clear this isn't the first nor the only time Ace Attorney does this. It was also done with Eustace's themes, Winning Deductions and Winning Independence. But it's so impressive that they gave Kazuma four unique sounding themes using the same motif and made it easy to tell how his story goes just in music. Like just listening to his themes, it goes happiness and positivity > oh actually this is kind of bittersweet. there's still work to be done so we must go on > triumph but also a little bit of "something's off here" > wow what the fuck happened here

It's so impressive to me?? But also the fact that Kazuma has four unique sounding themes that use the same motif is incredibly impressive. All four are basically the same song but different depending on the vibe needed for the part of the game they're featured in. Doing that with anything is hard.

A similar thing is done with the Dance of Deduction tracks. Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! feels more complete than the initial Joint Reasoning tracks. Listening to the initial Joint Reasoning tracks and then listening to Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! makes it incredibly obvious to me. In this case, it goes from "this is fun and upbeat!" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE A], then goes to "we're getting a little more intense" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE B], then to "oh now we're getting INTENSE" during Joint Reasoning [TYPE C], then to "shit just got REALLY serious" with Partners ~ The Game Is Afoot! Even the backstage tracks (the ones that play when you either fill in the blanks or correct one of Sholmes's deductions) are like this. It feels more intense and high energy during Sholmes and Mikotoba's Dance of Deduction.

Anyway my point is TGAA is genuinely the best video game soundtrack ever in my opinion and even tops most movie soundtracks for me. I'm almost completely convinced this is because they made the soundtrack sound like music you'd get in Victorian England. I don't think the soundtrack would be nearly as good without the Victorian sound. Anyway back to drawing I go

thinking about indigenous instruments and am in awe

[friendlyneighbourhoodelf]

sometimes things that are popular are good (this post is about Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, op 20., act II, no. 10 scène (moderato))

[asleep-and-afraid]

a girl handed me her viola while she played mine and i immediately noticed how small the viola felt in my hands. and then i plucked the strings and was like hm i think someones put a G string where your C should be! and hey why’s your A sounding like an E? this is a funny looking viola dude!- OH.

[candycryptids]

I dont know the names or faces of most of the violins in my orchestra
