#Fan Music

[pinkiemachine]

BEHOLD! ART! So, yes, this is original music that I (Rhapsody) composed for my sister (Bloodrayne’s) Voltron rewrite. I wrote new music because I just felt like the original music for the show just kinda had no soul or personality. Like, I cannot remember any tune besides the theme song, because it’s all just nebulous, blurry background noise, just “waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuur bluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu” so I took it upon myself to make this.

This tracks is called “Blue” or “Joyride.” In this scene, Lance is chosen by the Blue Lion to be her Paladin, and then in the second half, she jumps into space with our main heroes and takes off for the Castle of the Lions, stretching her legs and having a bit of fun in the process.

Hope you like it!

Hey you! Yes, you!

Would you like your creation on display in a museum?

Would you like to help a super awesome PhD candidate complete her dissertation?

Would you like a great excuse to further procrastinate that thing you've been procrastinating?

All of these and more are great reasons to participate in Affirmation/Transformation: Fandom Created, an exhibition at Marquette University's Haggerty Museum of Art. (You do NOT need to be an artist, or even someone who creates art to participate!) Write a story, write a song, design a cosplay, create a fancy manicure, make a meme, make a stop-motion video, choreograph a dance, make a SuperWhoLock gif fic, or anything else your heart can dream up.

Your creation must follow only one rule: It must be inspired by a fusion of 1. any fandom of your choice, and 2. one of the featured Haggerty pieces (click the link to see them!)

Completed works are due July 1, 2024. The exhibition will run August 23rd-December 22nd, 2024, and will be available to view in person and online.

To see the Haggerty pieces, and to sign up to receive email reminders about the fan event, visit https://epublications.marquette.edu/fandom/Affirmationtransformation

My Gideon the Ninth fansong:

"The Locked Tune"

Also available to stream on Spotify if you feel so inclined!

This is a totally normal way of coping with the Alectopause right?

Came up with some twist-villain!Dedf1sh level music. We don't yet know what to make of Acht and Marina's shared history, so I'm envisioning some kind of self-imposed grudge tempered by her own morbid curiosity.

The reason Dedf1sh allowed herself to be ensnared by Tartar was because of Acht's desire to hone her music-making craft, right? If this process took place after Marina heard the Calamari Inkantation, then those two events could be linked.

If music can reformat the minds of a thousand soldiers and compel a dear friend to leave it all behind; to leave me behind... then what else can music do? How can I harness that power to my own ends? What if I could make the Inkantation my bitch?

Acht Mizuta may have perished down there in the Deepsea Metro, but her sense of purpose did not.

The Amazing Digital Circus - OUT OF BOUNDS

Drum and Bass fan music by NyxTheShield

[1wn8ure]

i'm not sure how many dsmp fans realize just how much fan music is out there. like we all know derivakat and cg5's stuff, and yeah it's fantastic but there is so much more

precious jewel amor has so many dsmp songs with the most heart-wrenching lyrics i've ever heard and beautiful music to accompany them. and they have music for characters that don't always get a bunch of recognition! cbad enjoyers, try listening to savior. cPuffy has Empty and Do It Again. cNiki? You bet! try Hidden in the Depths, Nothing to Lose, or the cNiki AND cJack song, Hate (Heal). ALSO PJA uses repeating motifs across songs to show relationships between characters which just. Amazing!!!

Amanda Fagan has the same range of characters, and her sound varies from sweet and simple ukulele to highly-produced. cCrimeboys enjoyers, listen to their relationship progress through Please Don't Make Me Choose, Play With Dynamite, and Sunken and Shattered. cJack fans, enjoy Bittersweet and Invisible. And I can't forget the SBI song, When Nothing Mattered More Than Friends, ft. other artists such as seiggel, butterscotch bread, and...

Mizz Fish! My god, their voice is so incredible, and they have some of the most creative songs I've seen! Try a song detailing cRanboo's inner monologue inside of his panic room. Or the most beautiful ballad mourning L'manburg.

this post is getting long but. seriously, if you enjoy fan-made music and/or are searching for more dsmp content to consume, check out kroh, megan shumway, Kanaya, ellienort, seiggel, butterscotchbread, Frankie!!, Hator, spirental, trashyinferno. there's so much out there, and you can hear the passion put into these songs. they deserve to be heard!

(Also, most of these artists have original music out too, which you should also absolutely listen to!)

CHANGE THE CODA: FLOOR 1-1 | Time-change Waltz

Music I made for a theoretical Crypt of the NecroDancer | In stars and Time Crossover! I might make more of these cause it was fun! And I'll probably post it to youtube eventually!

[beneathsilverstars]

I love In Stars And Time so much that it inspired me to actually finish a song for the first time in years! I hope you all enjoy it, I had a lot of fun writing and producing it.

(Lyrics under the cut)

A script, a stage A part to play The theatre is rotting You act anyway You know each joke by heart You listen for your cue You laugh What else can you do The same old rooms The same old signs You fumble through carefully Memorized lines The curtains fall Make it all fade from sight A weight in your gut Next time you'll get it right

[mokureen]

twipie song by me

"life in ponyville"

[glassesfreekjr]

FOR REAL THIS TIME

The King Salmonid who all Fish Sticks aspire to be. The first Griller to surpass their mortal coils and ascend to a state far more... eldritch. A grotesque autonomous collective and yet a ruler in its own right. The aquatic roi des rats of the whirlpool's roil, whose name shall not be uttered. The worlds worst maypole by far, 0/10.

And yet there are sea creatures far worse, and far scarier, out in the unknown depths... beyond the splendour of the tempest; the sandbank’s luring smile. Encircled by flopping hordes of mindless and amorphous dancers, lulled amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Waiting for their moment.

The Stupendium on a random day in 2019: *makes a song inspired by some video game about space*

The Fine Print: *accidentally one of the best songs about capitalism (in my opinion)*
