This one is Flans (Sorry Linnell) but I just have to ask this. Besides you guys ofc, my other favorite band is Split Enz and I was wondering do you like them too Flans?? Ps: My friend they wanted me to tell you guys that you should come to Guam hehe.

JF: it would be a blast to play in Guam. As for Split Enz--I only know "I Got You" from my childhood--but what a fantastic song!--and if memory serves it used the similar (if not the same) harmonic device as Ana Ng--building a moody verse around the minor sixth of the key (the Eminor chord) and then moving to boldly into the root (G major) in the chorus. It's like that move to the major from the relative minor creates some of the same energy as a bigger key change but it also flows harmonically because of the major/minor relationship.

im writing a song for you. a ballad a serenade im not sure what to title it. its been in the works for a while now. it goes eminor 7 into a barred a chord into a d major 7 and then a b minor 7. i got inspiration from gospel music for the chords but put a luna spin on it. i want to make you something unique and special something that conveys how i feel. its in the works. now that i have the eclipse itll soon be on its way but i cannot find lyrics or words for you as i find you indescribable in the best possible way. perhaps that should be the title of the song. indescribable?

Saving strats for IEM Sydney: How aliStair and Grayhound are preparing for a homecoming blitz

sixteen days out of one thousand two hundred and eighty. It has been that long since an Australian core team has advanced past the group stage of an S-Tier international Counter-Strike competition. The days of an AZR-led 100 Thieves destroying the IEM Katowice stage are long gone. Australia's best chance at international success right now is Grayhound Gaming, although their calendar year has disappointed many supporters. Imagine if they break that playoffs duck, of all places, in their own backyard. After nearly four years, Australia will taste top-tier CS once more as IEM Sydney returns this October. Sixteen of the world’s best will descend on the New South Wales capital for a bumper prize pool and in front of the best audience in esports (no bias here, whatsoever). https://twitter.com/IEM/status/1671043955918528515 To Alistair Johnston, the rumors of IEM’s return down under had swirled for a long time, and he could barely keep his excitement when talking to Dot Esports. “We kind of been hearing words about it for like, nearly a year,” aliStair reveals, positively wrapped the tournament is making its long-awaited return. To the surprise of few, aliStair noted the raucous atmosphere and how the entire Oceanic scene just glows when given a chance to witness premium CS at home. “IEM Sydney is so nostalgic, it was where Josh and I really started off our careers and it’s just an amazing environment.” The COVID-19 pandemic canceled the tournament’s initial move to Melbourne in 2020, and since then Aussies have been teased with events like ESL Challenger in 2022 and 2023—both of which saw large crowds in their own right. But aliStair hopes those events will pale in size and scale to IEM Sydney at the Aware Super Theatre. “It brings the whole Australian CS community into one place; even if you’re not at the event, people are going out together afterward to catch up. It’s so good.” Alistair graced IEM Sydney twice as a player; first for The Chiefs in 2017, then with Order a year later, pushing an American Cloud9 roster to the limit in the group stage lower bracket. Alongside current teammates Jay “Liazz” Tregillgas and Simon “Sico” Williams, aliStair fell short of taking to the Sydney stage, but he and Grayhound are out to rep the home crowd in the arena this time. They did so in late April this year at DreamHack Melbourne. Even at 9am in the morning—far from “gamer hours”—the Aussie crowd was there to back GH home against Bad News Eagles. “I just love the Aussie culture and the move it’s made into esports,” aliStair reminisces, pointing out in particular how amazing it was to bring friends and family into their world. These events are far and few between for the scene, which were on the rise prior to 2020’s COVID shutdown. Motivation was at an all-time high and the scene held an abundance of cash-strapped organizations willing to get in the action. Without these events, as well as an economic turn away from esports in the region, Oceanic CS fell hard. IEM Sydney could be the catalyst to spark a revival. AliStair in particular would love to see these big-name orgs return to give the region’s best and brightest a chance to make esports a living. In the process, it would improve aliStair and GH’s experience at home, which has become stale of late. “Scrimming and practicing is really shit because there’s no funding for these teams and players to spend their time on,” aliStair explains. “It hurts us because we don’t want to scrim at home, we end up practicing against the same teams over and over—it becomes pointless.” First Vox, now Grayhound: The regression to the mean Let’s wind the clock back to 2015. Veterans of the scene know full well the dominance Vox Eminor held over the Oceanic region. Team Immunity nipped at the heels of the Chad “SPUNJ” Burchill-led outfit but couldn’t quite get above them consistently enough. It’s easy to draw parallels to the stranglehold GH has over Oceania today. Outside of a shock loss to Vertex at the Fortress OCE Masters and a smattering of smaller events, Grayhound have won every single OCE tournament or qualifier they’ve attended—well over two dozen trophies and qualifier wins in three years. The major difference between the two cases, aliStair believes, is the opportunities and pathways the scene can afford today, even in its currently weak state. “It felt for us it wasn’t about being No. 1, it was just about landing these international opportunities regularly and making it to these events,” aliStair says. https://twitter.com/grayhoundgaming/status/1587286703949189127 While it’s hard to pass up the resources on offer to GH for making the Major, aliStair acknowledges the pathways to overseas competition are there for the taking if teams are hungry for it, but admits to doing so without organizational backing is incredibly difficult—something he hopes the boost from IEM Sydney will remedy. “I’d hope to see some familiar organizations to step back in and pick up a team,” aliStair says. “Just landing that one international opportunity and exposure and breaking out that way is a huge start.” And if it isn’t orgs stepping up to cover the gap, it’s the grassroots scene. Smaller scale offerings such as BrisVegas, a tournament local to Queensland’s capital city, are replacing the big leagues and are more than making up for it with a professional broadcast and a competitive atmosphere. These grassroots events not only allow players another outlet to showcase their skills but also a chance for those unable to compete to develop their skills in the industry. “A closer top five to top eight teams makes the scene so much healthier, and grassroots events like BrisVegas bring a lot to the scene,” aliStair says, pointing out that players, including Grayhound captain Josh “INS” Potter, even fly interstate just to play offline CS. “There are even teams playing together at these events and using them as prep for the rest of the season. Stuff like that goes a long way and I don’t think people realize how important it is for the health of the scene. To qualify for something on LAN in Australia is so much fun.” What would it take for GH to grace the Sydney stage? 2023 hasn’t been kind to Grayhound. The squad has struggled to leave its mark in tournaments outside of the Major: The Doggies have won just three series over five events attended. Even at the BLAST Paris Major, despite coming closer than ever, the squad couldn’t crack the Legends Stage. Their follow-ups in Cologne and Malta really didn’t land either, even despite returning from the player break more relaxed than ever before, aliStair says. The global CS calendar cares little for Oceania, often scheduling events during Grayhound’s downtime. “Usually Australia gets disrespected a little bit when it comes to the calendar and we normally end up having to play some qualifier or tourney right at the start or end of the player break,” aliStair explains, adding that the roster made assurances not to go near a computer so they could totally reset. Alistair, playing for Grayhound Gaming, sits at a PC at ESL Pro League Season 18 playing CS:GOTime for the ‘Hounds to rise up. Photo by Helena Kristiansson via ESL GamingThe reset also came with a change in the back office. Coach David “Kingfisher” Kingsford departed the roster at the beginning of 2023 and, without a replacement, the team has had to step up collectively to match his work rate. “We’re putting in a lot more work now, especially without David. It felt like with him, he did a lot of stuff for us,” aliStair says, adding that while the departure of their coach hit the team hard, there are positives. “It’s been a little healthier not having him around as it’s forcing everyone to be putting in more work.” A lack of coach was a point of discussion at ESL Pro League last week where, at critical times during their ill-fated group stage run, the ‘Hounds lacked the poise to take a timeout and discuss the game state with a sixth man. For their final match against FURIA, the squad was even given a mannequin in a Grayhound jersey to “sit” behind the team. Naturally, the mannequin didn’t help. Also not helping—GH’s lack of participation in tier two and three events during their European bootcamps. This, however, isn’t for a lack of trying, as aliStair reveals. Grayhound had reached out to many tournament organizers hoping to secure an online event spot to get their reps in before IEM Cologne and ESL Pro League. Alas, they weren’t able to secure anything. “We’re always open for those events because I think they’re really good experiences to be playing, even if they’re online,” aliStair says. “We were keeping our heads out and actively reaching out looking for an event, but we never really got anything back. Then we started seeing these events were going ahead and playing and it was sad because that definitely would have helped us to get some game time, just to get ourselves ready to take on the big teams.” In their current state, Grayhound would really struggle to survive what will be a brutal Sydney group stage against the world’s best. With the likes of FaZe Clan, Vitality, and NAVI all invited and attending, GH’s road is tough, to say the least. But between the jetlag for these top, the ample time ahead of the event to practice, and the home-ground advantage, aliStair is confident he and the ‘Hounds have what it takes to repeat their DreamHack Melbourne antics and make it to the Aware Super Theatre stage. Alongside Justin “jks” Savage at G2 and Chris “dexter” Nong at Fnatic, as well as fellow OCE qualifiers Vertex, there will be plenty flying the flag, and aliStair is keen to see OCE esports thrive at IEM. “Everyone kind of takes the piss out of every team but it’s all harmless,” he says. “Everyone’s having a beer and having fun—it feels like a lot of good humor and messing around.” His final words on the topic? “Get rowdy for IEM Sydney, hope to see you there—and shout us a beer.” You bet, mate. Forty sleeps to go: IEM Sydney is slated to begin Oct. 16. Read the full article

So I previously praised MCZ's Kasou Dystopia for having basically 3 completely different chorus compositions, and stacking two of them on top of each other every time.

I have to give the props to IGAB for doing this as well, but also just having a seriously buck wild structure.

8 measures introduction rap, 98 BPM Eminor

4 measures rock power chords, 4 measures "Oh oh oh eh oh" (or as I've called it before "reverb chorus")

12 measures rap/speak-singing

8 measures "reverb chorus"/"Oh oh oh eh oh"/rock power chords

"Ayo stop! Let me put it down another way"

4 measures electro instrumental, 140 BPM Emajor

8 measures "I Got A Boy" primary chorus

8 measures "a nae wangjanim" soaring singing, might be considered a verse?

8 measures rap

8 measures major key rendition of "Oh oh oh eh oh" ("electro variation of reverb chorus")

8 measures non-soaring singing, might be considered a verse, but with a completely different composition from the previous "verse".

8 measures "electro variation of reverb chorus", but I have to emphasize how this is the only time in the entire song that the singing in between the "Oh oh oh eh oh"s repeats lyrically. Every single other time they sing something different.

Slow-down transition

2 measures rock power chords, 98 BPM Eminor

8 measures rock power chords bridge

"Don’t stop! Let’s bring it back to 140"

8 measures "I Got A Boy" primary chorus, 140 BPM Emajor

8 measures "eonjena nae gyeoten" electro instrumental bridge

8 measures IGAB chorus overlaid with "a nae wangjanim" composition

8 measures IGAB chorus overlaid with "Oh oh oh eh oh"

If we assign an alphabet letter to each unique melodic composition section, a standard verse-prechorus-chorus pop song goes something like ABC ABC DCC.

IGAB goes: ABCB DEFGHIH J D,K,D+E,D+G

That's 11 unique composition sections.

Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy: Prelude and Fugue in e minor Op. 35 no 1. For my second post, I chose a piece by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. My choice was not accidental: thanks to him conducting Bach’s Matthäus-Passion in 1829, the great composer’s music became again part of the concert repertoire.

Something that is true to both this prelude and this fugue is that the composer borrowed certain aspects of Bach’s music, which were appealing to the Romantic Era way of thinking. However, the musical architecture and the polyphonic techniques which Mendelssohn used, are almost identical to Bach’s compositional ideas. The other significant difference is that while Bach wrote the two books of WTC for his era’s keyboard instruments, Mendelssohn wrote this cycle for the piano, so he uses a wide palette of sounds which can be brought out from the instrument. This will be relevant in the case of the following posts too.

The prelude, with the tempo indication Allegro con fuoco, is a romantic, tempestuous echo of the baroque preludes. Turbulent arpeggios surround the main, chorale-like melody, reminding us of Bach’s oratorical works.

The fugue (Andante espressivo) introduces the first subject in a meditative, mysterious tone, until all the four voices join. After the second subject enters, the fugue transforms into a storm of intense emotions, reaching its peak in a solemn chorale. The storm calms down, and the fugue arrives into the warm E major tonality in its coda.

I chose Murray Perahia’s recording, who is considered on of the greatest pianists alive, and, in my opinion, is the best interpreter of Mendelssohn’s music.

Given to Love

He knew he would love her the first time he saw her He knew he would give unto her bosom  all of his loving kindness, all of his respect and understanding  all of his humility and integrity, all of his honor and devotion  all of his protection and admiration, all of his forgiveness and patience  He knew she would be--the life of him

He watched her sleep  It was a passtime he enjoyed secretly... to watch her chest rise and fall, to watch her body relax into love  It was her tattoos he couldn’t resist--the story her body told, and that only he could pore over the details and read her  He was so enamored by her, with her  He vowed her would never lose her  Politely he touched her, lightly -- to not awaken her from her rest  She is real ‘I will always keep her’ he sweared within, suppressing his fear  ‘I deserve her’ And he was sincere

(Relatively late) morning Bach. I first came across this Duetto on a CD, now sadly lost. I was intrigued by the minor melodic scales, and some years later, downloaded the entire score. I won’t commend my performance of this work, which suffered as a result of my reluctance to practice scales (or, you know, practice). But here is a great performance of the work. As one comment said, Bach was “light years” ahead of anyone with this piece.
