Sorprendide, por esa extraña sensación, sentipensar.

Me recuerda a una vez, cuando bien wachite, tuve una amistad, en la que reconocí años más tarde, fue quizás la primera vez en sentirlo, donde la ternura me invadía, y la tontera me desbordaba. Sin reconocer ni entender lo que sucedía, sabía que tenía que ocultarlo para cuidar el vínculo.

Hoy encontré en internet la expresión: "koi no yokan" Quizás es un poco eso lo que me pasa.

Los vínculos van y vienen. El cistema nos devora, perdemos la ternura y la sensibilidad, también la sinceridad con otres y con une misme.

Encontrar nuevas formas de expresar lo cotidiano, lugares trinchera, donde resistir tanto drama, eso es un poco hydra.

@rad-roche NOIR TIME! Turning my assignment in very late.

Agent Phil Coulson may not be a dame, but he does have a lot or weirdly specific things in common with Nick Valentine!

Your tutorial post on pulp covers was wonderful! But this was so many kilometres out of my stylistic comfort zone that the entire time was like agh! what the hell am I doing?.?? (And why it’s taken over a week). I found a lovely cover for reference “The Deadly September” on the archive you have linked in the tutorial.

Below is things I had to adapt to achieve a similar effect in Procreate, the reference images I used and, the worlds’s most convoluted speed-paint. (Learning new things is messy!)

⚠️THE SPEED-PAINT FLASHES QUICKLY A LOT !! ⚠️

Also I’ve listed some of the weirdly specific similarities between Coulson and Nick! so SPOILERS for Agents of Shield seasons 1-6 (I haven’t gotten around to watching 7 yet, and agents of shield isn’t MCU canon anymore anyway) and Nick’s story / far harbour in Fallout 4! (Spoilers below the speed-paint)

Procreate edits:

Totally used the back button more than I should have. I think I changed brush at least 3 times and edited the texture layers way more before it got to a point I was even remotely happy with. The brush I ended up settling with was procreate’s “Tarraleah” in the ‘artistic’ category, unaltered.

Procreate does have screen layers so was able to use that as in the tutorial, I set my chosen grunge at 90% opacity after inversion.

The contrast / brightness layer was tricker since that’s not a feature in procreate (??????), after lots of messing around I found that filling a layer with black and setting it to “soft light” mode and 85% opacity brings the paper texture I used away from the overly white tones without messing with the colour too much.

Since procreate doesn’t support per layer colour dropper, I had all of the texture layers in a folder so it can be hidden with one click, though personally I tend to guess the colour I need on the wheel rather than use colour dropper, so hiding the texture wasn’t an issue for me so much.

The colour check layer was also a black filled layer but this was set to colour mode as in the tutorial.

⚠️THE SPEED-PAINT FLASHES BRIGHTLY AND QUICKLY ⚠️

VVVVVVV SPOILERS FOR AGENTS OF SHIELD 1-6 AND FALLOUT 4 VVVVVVV

NICK VALENTINE AND AGENT COULSON SIMILARITIES (in my opinion):

Good people at heart

Multiple life shattering, personality altering crisis each.

Experimented on against their will by a group with highly advanced technology resulting in their unethical resurrection. Institute for Nick and Fury’s project TAHITI / Guest Host for Coulson.

Consciousness placed into a Synth / Life Model Decoy after their death against their will (LMDs are marvel’s version of synths with all the ‘is it a person’ and ‘the infiltrators are ruining our organisation’ that come with that) both are in highly modified unique Synth/LMD hardware

Both have killed an enemy they have been hunting for years for nothing but revenge, Eddie Winter for Nick and Ward for Coulson. (Though nobody stays dead in agents of shield)

Part of the plot requires entering a simulation with other peoples memories. DiMA’s memories for Nick and the Framework for the shield crew.

A partner that they can’t see because one of them was murdered as collateral damage. Jenny for Nick, and Coulson is the dead one for Audrey (the cellist)

Betrayed at a great personal cost by the organisation they were upholding when the org. Is revealed to be corrupt/evil. Police being in on Winter’s scheme for Nick and shield being hydra for Coulson.

Key Mission requires strapping them into a memory machine and poking around their brains/memories. Nick with kellogg’s memories and Raina’s need of Coulson’s memories from after he died in New York (though Coulson’s is a lot more traumatic on account of him being human at the time and marvel’s memory machine being painful)

Intentional memory loss forced on them by a third party. Nick’s institute knowledge and Coulson’s unawareness of his resurrection by Fury.

So much trauma, they can’t catch a break.

The 10 songs that defined Within Temptation's career

Across eight studio albums, Within Temptation have gone from symphonic metal pioneers to arena-filling metal superstars.

(Image credit: Getty Images/ Katja Ogrin/Redferns)

Within Temptation might have emerged as leading lights in symphonic metal at the dawn of the millennium, but in the 26 years since their debut their sound has evolved drastically, from an early propensity for goth metal to embracing pop metal sensibilities and filling arenas around the world. These are the 10 songs that have defined that journey. 

Mother Earth (Mother Earth, 2000)

Evoking a fairy tale world of crystal lakes and enchanted forests, Mother Earth embraced symphonic metal, albeit with a folkier, less bombastic edge. This is Within Temptation at their purest and prettiest.  

Stand My Ground (The Silent Force, 2004)

On Stand My Ground, the band perfected a blend of anthemia and dark-edged splendour that has defined their music ever since. Almost two decades on, it is still one of their most enduring anthems.  

What Have You Done (The Heart Of Everything, 2007)

Turning every dial in Within Temptation’s arsenal up to 100, with melodramatic vocals, hulking guitars and an absolute belter of a chorus, this is the band at their most electrifyingly overblown.

Our Solemn Hour (The Heart Of Everything, 2007)

A Winston Churchill speech, a choir singing in Latin and a sense of imminent apocalypse – 16 years after its release, Our Solemn Hour still sounds as urgent and relevant as ever.

Faster (The Unforgiving, 2011)

Boasting one of their most irresistible choruses, Faster dialled down the band’s symphonic inclinations for razor-sharp pop metal. The first step in the band’s transition from symphonic royalty to arena mainstays.  

Paradise (What About Us?) (Hydra, 2014)

However incohesive Hydra was as an album, it gifted us this thunderous, unforgettable duet with ex-Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen, and for that, we are eternally grateful. 

The Reckoning (Resist, 2019)

With a little help from Papa Roach’s Jacoby Shaddix and a buzzing electronic backbone that added a whole new dimension to the band’s sound, with The Reckoning, they entered a gigantic new era. 

Supernova (Resist, 2019)

Written following the death of Sharon’s father in 2018, Supernova is a powerhouse of a track. As she sings, ‘These days when I’m lost, I search the skies’ over glittering synths and colossal guitars, it perfectly captures the enormity of grief.

The Purge (Bleed Out, 2023)

Face it: no one makes fists-in-the-air anthems better than Within Temptation. The Purge, a cathartic command to eradicate any toxic presences in your life, simply begs to be screamed at the top of your lungs.

Wireless (Bleed Out, 2023)

Not only is Wireless the band’s heaviest and most overtly political song yet, it brings every one of their sonic eras together as a perfect culmination of past and present.

Augustus Muller Interview: Synth Stories

Photo by Jimmy Fontaine

BY JORDAN MAINZER

For Augustus Muller of Massachusetts-via-Georgia electropop duo Boy Harsher, feeling the pressure gets results. Not for the duo's studio albums, mind you, but for the impressive number of film scores that he and Boy Harsher have been releasing the past few years. "Soundtracks are cool because you have 2-3 weeks to write them. You have to be prolific in that amount of time," he told me over the phone last month. "A record is going to take a couple years to finish, for the same amount of music...you don't have a lot of time to make a mistake." Looking at Muller's history as a creative, from his early days to his recently released scores for Cellulosed Bodies and My Animal, his spontaneous mindset has paid off.

Before he made music, Muller was an aspiring filmmaker, creating short films as a teenager, and attending film school. As he started making music for his own films, he realized her liked that part, too, and his career shifted. Of course, his project with film school classmate, vocalist Jae Matthews, took off, starting as Teen Dreamz and eventually becoming Boy Harsher, as the combination of her spoken word and his beats became more dance-oriented. Films were on the backburner, and it wasn't until 2020, when he teamed up with progressive adult film producer collective Four Chambers, headed by experimental pornographer Vex Ashley, that Muller released his score debut. Machine Learning Experiments (Original Score), comprised of distinct scores to two films (Orgone Theory, tracks 1-5, and Hydra, tracks 6-10), was released via the band's imprint Nude Club Records. In combination with the film's subject matter and Boy Harsher's usual minimal synth wave, the music fittingly sounded like a sort of dystopian cousin to the works the late Patrick Cowley made for John Coletti in the 80's. And early last year, the band released The Runner, which started as a piece of music but sounded to them so suited for the screen that they simply directed an accompanying short horror film.

Now, Muller has given us two more scores. Cellulosed Bodies is another collaboration with Ashley, structured similarly to Machine Learning Experiments in that it features two scores for two films, Crash and Automaton. What makes Cellulosed Bodies a standout in Muller's oeuvre is that the two scores that make it up simultaneously provide a cohesive whole and exercises in textural contrast. Both films deal with the relationships between bodies and machines, the former an homage to David Cronenberg's erotic body horror film of the same name, the latter exploring pandemic-influenced digital isolation and dependency. Crash uses all analog instrumentation, sounding appropriately tactile on the pulsating synthesizers of "Fur And Metal" the crispy, synaptic drum machines of "Perverse Technology", and the booming bass of "Shattered Glass". Automaton, on the other hand, doesn't abide by as many patterns, using more FM synths for its droning vignettes and metallic harmonics, notably oblique strings and organ synthesis on "Observation" and "Who Is In Control" and vocal samples on "Subdue Yourself". But whether taking a more traditional or contemporary approach, Muller exudes the same visceral quality from his compositions.

On Friday, Muller released his score for Jacqueline Castel's My Animal, which, like Crash, uses mostly hardware but has the same abstractly filmic quality as The Runner. If you didn't know it was a film score, you'd think it was just a standalone piece of instrumental 80s synthwave, as effective in the club as it is soundtracking horror romance. "Sanctuary" borders on stadium rock, layered with drum fills and arpeggios, while the combination of wincing synthesizer and shuffling beats propels tracks like "Transformation #1", "The Slots", "Outside the Rock", and "Something's Building". More simply, many of the record's tracks are heavy on vibes, with the music evoking exactly what the titles suggest: "A Soft Howl", or "Winter Drone". At this point, Muller and Boy Harsher have amassed a solid following for their studio albums, but all signs point to Muller--still an aspiring filmmaker, after all--becoming an in-demand name for helping filmmakers bring their corporeal visions to life.

Below, read my conversation with Muller, edited for length and clarity.

Photo by Jimmy Fontaine

Since I Left You: Describe the process of working on Cellulosed Bodies with Vex Ashley. Was the music made in tandem with the visuals or in response to them?

Augustus Muller: She'd send me a rough cut of what she was working on, and I'd write something to that. It was pretty loose. She cut around stuff. I would send something back, she'd send me notes, and edit around what I'd written. Then she'd send another cut, and we'd work on transitions and put finishing touches on it.

SILY: What's unique about this soundtrack as compared to others you've done?

AM: Compared to writing a feature film, there's a lot more space for music. Crash has no dialogue at all. With porn, the music can lead. I felt like I had full freedom with that. I could write a full track. With other scores, for narrative, you have to hide it under dialogue, so it's a different sound palette.

SILY: Are you often given the whole film without the score, and then you work around it?

AM: Yeah. For Crash and Automaton, there wasn't even temp music. I started from scratch.

SILY: Why did you decide to release "Fur And Metal" and "Stretching / Invading" as the first tastes of Cellulosed Bodies?

AM: For this project, it's been difficult to explain to our fans and the world what it is. It's my solo music, but not an album, but an original score to porn films. People are blasting through social media, not really reading through the fine print. "Fur And Metal" was one of my favorite tracks from Crash, and I thought it was important to share something from Automaton, which is what "Stretching / Invading" is from. It's more of an ambient, droney track. It's good to show the range the album has.

SILY: It emphasizes the distinct textures and qualities of the scores, too. You used strings and organs on the latter.

AM: Yeah. It's two pretty different sounding scores. Similar subject matter--a techno dystopian future--but Crash was all analog gear and vintage hardware. It has that older sound. Automaton is a lot of FM synths to get these new sounds.

SILY: The final track, "Subdue Yourself", has vocal samples [from dominatrix Miss Marilyn]. Why did you choose to introduce voice at the very end?

AM: That track is not in the film. It's something I wrote and ultimately didn't use, but it's a song I really liked. I love Miss Marilyn's monologues, so I thought it was a cool thing to include in the soundtrack. Giving it context, like when original scores and soundtracks have clips from the movie in it.

SILY: Do you think this score holds up separately as its own piece of art? Can it be consumed and appreciated separately from the film?

AM: I think it really varies soundtrack to soundtrack. This one can definitely stand by itself. I'm really proud of the tracks. I think it's listenable. I was just listening to Vangelis' Blade Runner [soundtrack]. I had never actually listened to the LP before even though I've seen the movie a million times. There are a lot of instrumental tracks that must be so low in the mix in the film that when listening to the LP, it felt like I'd never heard them before. They're banging tracks!

SILY: Crash is a direct homage to Cronenberg's film of the same name. Have you ever called out an influence that directly in your music before, whether with Boy Harsher or your solo work?

AM: On tour, we're playing a "Wicked Game" cover. [laughs] But in terms of the Crash score, I watched [Cronenberg's film] and wanted to get Howard Shore's soundtrack channeled through me. I then realized, "I can't do this. Howard Shore's a genius. This is not my style." I just started playing some driving bass and went a totally new direction.

SILY: When I listened to your score for My Animal, I thought it was pretty banging itself. There are a lot of catchy tracks on there, like "Sanctuary" and "The Slots". These could be singles.

AM: I was writing with a lot of temp music. [Jacqueline Castel] was putting Boy Harsher songs in it as temp music. So I was channeling drum-driven material.

SILY: Do you think Boy Harsher songs work well within a film context?

AM: I think so. We've had some stuff licensed for films and TV shows. When I'm writing something, I know it's good when it feels visual, when it's evoking some imagery or takes me some place.

SILY: I feel like certain general aesthetics seem to fit films very well. What are some of your favorite film soundtracks or creative influences when making a soundtrack?

AM: Recently, that Jonathan Glazer movie Birth. Alexandre Desplat does that really tight chamber music. I like it because it's the opposite of what the scene is showing. It really changes the mood. That was really inspiring for me, to show what music can do for a film, to take a scene and transport it into a totally different vibe.

Abraham Marder and Nicolas Becker's [work on Sound of Metal]. I have to shout out Tangerine Dream's Sorcerer. That's such a powerful tool in the film. It really elevates all the emotions, but it's also an album I can listen to on its own.

SILY: Have you ever thought about curating a film's soundtrack, picking songs from other artists?

AM: Like Trent Reznor for Lost Highway? Yeah, I think I could do that.

SILY: It seems like you have that ear as a film and music fan.

AM: I just love putting music to visuals. That's how I got into music, making shitty short films as an 18-year-old. I was like, "Wow! This film got so much better with this music behind it." That's why I kept making music before making it on its own.

SILY: Are you going to make films again?

AM: I want to so bad. But it's such a privilege, and you need so much money. It's something I've been working towards for a while. I just need to find that opportunity for someone to trust me for a big chunk of change.

SILY: You could make the film and the music.

AM: That's what I dream about every day. Make the film, edit it, write the score.

SILY: Anything you've been listening to, watching, or reading that's caught your attention?

AM: I just saw Bottoms. It's really funny. A feel-good movie. I've been watching a lot of [Rainer Werner Fassbinder]. Somebody gave me a book on him, and I realized I hadn't watched a lot of his films. I watched Querelle, which was definitely a vibe. The Marriage of Maria Braun was really cool. I love genre films that are an allegory for something else. It's been fun digging into his movies.

FALLOUT

Tony Stark went missing and it was Steve's turn to go find him. Traveling around America in his search for his friend, he found himself fighting an off-shoot sect of hydra, where his enemies captured and froze him once more. They chose to display him as a prize in one of their secret Vaults, where Steve lay for hundreds of years. Discovered by two wanderers, Steve was thawed--but was still bent on finding his friend. One trek to New York and back--with Tony in tow--Steve settled into the Commonwealth, taking over as the General in the Minute Men and beginning the rebuilding effort in true Avengers' fashion. 

STATS & GENERAL

in general, stats like ENDURANCE, STRENGTH, and AGILITY are his highest, with CHARISMA and PERCEPTION being his next highest.

fallout characters would be familiar with captain america, not just as a wwii figure, but a figure also just before pre-war and nuclear fallout. he was also most likely used as a propaganda figure upon going missing.

verse is built with @homestations' zetta and riley as dual sole survivors ocs and @overclocks' tony stark. general interactions will take place after steve has been thawed and retrieved tony from new york.

FACTIONS & WORK

MINUTEMEN - steve’s main faction. his goals align quite well with them, and he finds a kindred spirit in preston garvey. they both work hard to rebuild the minutemen, preston with his knowledge of the commonwealth and steve with his ability to inspire and rally. he, reluctantly, takes on the role of general, working on getting the minutemen up into a fighting force in the commonwealth. he seeks to use the minutemen to allow settlers to settle in more places, effectively rebuilding farms and homes and gaining some semblance of normalcy.

RAILROAD - steve is not subtle enough for any sort of railroad work. as much as he believes in their goal--which he does, incredibly so, ai’s have always been people to him, so why not synths--nothing about a man wearing a red white and blue flag says ‘i’m ready for spy work.’ beyond that, after working with shield, working with another bunch of sneaky secret-y types who won’t tell him the whole truth about a situation sets him on edge.

BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL - no.

THE INSTITUTE - honestly, he’s worked with a lot of nerds and big brains in his day, and he knows that a whole group of them clustered underground is just a big feedback loop that created this whole mess. in his mind, they’re not bad or evil, just misguided and disconnected from what’s truly going on and the average commonwealth experience.

RESIDENCE

THE CASTLE is the main place of residence--steve once more continues the tradition of living where he works. however, the castle has undergone renovations in order to support larger numbers living there. under the planning of steve, preston, and ronnie (and the engineering genius of tony stark) the castle’s walls are rebuilt, power restored, canons installed alongside running water, and a farm is created. perhaps the biggest, most important undertaking is ensuring that the radio tower is up and running, allowing the castle to send broadcasts all around the commonwealth, announcing their return.

GOALS

create a wide and easily accessible communication network - primarily operating over radio, steve’s goal is to set up waystations around the commonwealth that tap into a specific frequency used just for minutemen emergency calls. it allows for more connection directly with the people who need their help the most, and can allow for groups to be deployed to the right location “at a minute’s notice.” also if tony says it’s the hotline 2.0, then so be it.

secure trade routes & expand safe zones - for no fee, the minutemen will guard caravans and traders from settlement to settlement upon request. they’ll protect general routes from wild animals, other factions, and create small waystations for shelter during bad storms. in order for more people to settle in larger numbers without having to live behind walls, there needs to be an effort of expanding safe areas to live. only after the feral ghouls and other factions have been cleared out can people reclaim buildings and begin rebuilding and expanding their living areas.

build homes - there’s a lot to rebuild, but the most important thing to steve is making sure everyone has a home. not just four walls and a ceiling over their head, but a place to safely raise a family, to feel safe in, to thrive and not just survive. he wants to make living easier, and that’ll happen by getting running water and electricity for everyone.

reinvest in nature and wildlife - not only humans suffered when the bombs dropped--the flora and fauna were affected too. by encouraging the greenery to make a comeback, more wildlife will follow suit. the main goal is to give parts of the city back over to nature by making parks and natural green space, not just more farmland.

HISTORY

tony stark goes missing. with protests rising about increasing military violence and the superhuman community thrown into upheaval, steve sets out on a mission to find him. instead he is frozen in ice by an off-shoot hydra sect. hydra, in their arrogance, arrange for a frozen steve to be brought to vault 109, where he will serve as decor while hydra prepares their own secret vault for long term research, development, and defense--though the front is fashioned to look like a department store. unfortunately for hydra, the bombs went off before they could fully outfit the operation, leaving the vault mostly empty with its frozen prisoner.

it’s by accident that steve is thawed--found by two wanderers in the glowing sea seeking shelter for the night. they help him adjust to life in the wasteland. steve, of course, can’t be deterred; he had one solid lead before his accident, and he won’t be put off for long in finding tony--if there even is a tony left to be found. he spends only a month with zetta and riley before hiring the former gunner maccready to assist him in his travel to new york, seeking out the stark building’s basement. and lo and behold, he does find tony stark, in a statis tube of his own making, still intact and able to be brought back to consciousness. once tony is awake and stable enough to travel, the three make their way back to the commonwealth, to do what avengers do best--assemble.

MINUTEMEN - steve’s main faction. his goals align quite well with them, and he finds a kindred spirit in preston garvey. they both work hard to rebuild the minutemen, preston with his knowledge of the commonwealth and steve with his ability to inspire and rally. he, reluctantly, takes on the role of general, working on getting the minutemen up into a fighting force in the commonwealth. he seeks to use the minutemen to allow settlers to settle in more places, effectively rebuilding farms and homes and gaining some semblance of normalcy.

RAILROAD - steve is not subtle enough for any sort of railroad work. as much as he believes in their goal--which he does, incredibly so, ai’s have always been people to him, so why not synths--nothing about a man wearing a red white and blue flag says ‘i’m ready for spy work.’ beyond that, after working with shield, working with another bunch of sneaky secret-y types who won’t tell him the whole truth about a situation sets him on edge.

BROTHERHOOD OF STEEL - no.

THE INSTITUTE - honestly, he’s worked with a lot of nerds and big brains in his day, and he knows that a whole group of them clustered underground is just a big feedback loop that created this whole mess. in his mind, they’re not bad or evil, just misguided and disconnected from what’s truly going on and the average commonwealth experience.

RESIDENCE

THECASTLE is the main place of residence--steve once more continues the tradition of living where he works. however, the castle has undergone renovations in order to support larger numbers living there. under the planning of steve, preston, and ronnie (and the engineering genius of tony stark) the castle’s walls are rebuilt, power restored, canons installed alongside running water, and a farm is created. perhaps the biggest, most important undertaking is ensuring that the radio tower is up and running, allowing the castle to send broadcasts all around the commonwealth, announcing their return.

GOALS

create a wide and easily accessible communication network - primarily operating over radio, steve’s goal is to set up waystations around the commonwealth that tap into a specific frequency used just for minutemen emergency calls. it allows for more connection directly with the people who need their help the most, and can allow for groups to be deployed to the right location “at a minute’s notice.” also if tony says it’s the hotline 2.0, then so be it.

secure trade routes & expand safe zones - for no fee, the minutemen will guard caravans and traders from settlement to settlement upon request. they’ll protect general routes from wild animals, other factions, and create small waystations for shelter during bad storms. in order for more people to settle in larger numbers without having to live behind walls, there needs to be an effort of expanding safe areas to live. only after the feral ghouls and other factions have been cleared out can people reclaim buildings and begin rebuilding and expanding their living areas.

build homes - there’s a lot to rebuild, but the most important thing to steve is making sure everyone has a home. not just four walls and a ceiling over their head, but a place to safely raise a family, to feel safe in, to thrive and not just survive. he wants to make living easier, and that’ll happen by getting running water and electricity for everyone.

reinvest in nature and wildlife - not only humans suffered when the bombs dropped--the flora and fauna were affected too. by encouraging the greenery to make a comeback, more wildlife will follow suit. the main goal is to give parts of the city back over to nature by making parks and natural green space, not just more farmland.

HISTORY

tony stark goes missing. with protests rising about increasing military violence and the superhuman community thrown into upheaval, steve sets out on a mission to find him. instead he is frozen in ice by an off-shoot hydra sect. hydra, in their arrogance, arrange for a frozen steve to be brought to vault 109, where he will serve as decor while hydra prepares their own secret vault for long term research, development, and defense--though the front is fashioned to look like a department store. unfortunately for hydra, the bombs went off before they could fully outfit the operation, leaving the vault mostly empty with its frozen prisoner.

it’s by accident that steve is thawed--found by two wanderers in the glowing sea seeking shelter for the night. they help him adjust to life in the wasteland. steve, of course, can’t be deterred; he had one solid lead before his accident, and he won’t be put off for long in finding tony--if there even is a tony left to be found. he spends only a month with zetta and riley before hiring the former gunner maccready to assist him in his travel to new york, seeking out the stark building’s basement. and lo and behold, he does find tony stark, in a statis tube of his own making, still intact and able to be brought back to consciousness. once tony is awake and stable enough to travel, the three make their way back to the commonwealth, to do what avengers do best--assemble.
