#harmonic structure

[kemetic-dreams]

Blues has evolved from the unaccompanied vocal music and oral traditions of slaves imported from West Africa and rural Africans into a wide variety of styles and subgenres, with regional variations across the United States. Although blues (as it is now known) can be seen as a musical style based on both European harmonic structure and the African call-and-response tradition that transformed into an interplay of voice and guitar, the blues form itself bears no resemblance to the melodic styles of the West African griots. Additionally, there are theories that the four-beats-per-measure structure of the blues might have its origins in the Native American tradition of pow wow drumming. Some scholars identify strong influences on the blues from the melodic structures of certain West African musical styles of the savanna and sahel. Lucy Durran finds similarities with the melodies of the Bambara people, and to a lesser degree, the Soninke people and Wolof people, but not as much of the Mandinka people. Gerard Kubik finds similarities to the melodic styles of both the west African savanna and central Africa, both of which were sources of enslaved people.

No specific African musical form can be identified as the single direct ancestor of the blues. However the call-and-response format can be traced back to the music of Africa. That blue notes predate their use in blues and have an African origin is attested to by "A Negro Love Song", by the English composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, from his African Suite for Piano, written in 1898, which contains blue third and seventh notes.

The Diddley bow (a homemade one-stringed instrument found in parts of the American South sometimes referred to as a jitterbug or a one-string in the early twentieth century) and the banjo are African-derived instruments that may have helped in the transfer of African performance techniques into the early blues instrumental vocabulary. The banjo seems to be directly imported from West African music. It is similar to the musical instrument that griots and other Africans such as the Igbo played (called halam or akonting by African peoples such as the Wolof, Fula and Mandinka). However, in the 1920s, when country blues began to be recorded, the use of the banjo in blues music was quite marginal and limited to individuals such as Papa Charlie Jackson and later Gus Cannon.

Blues music also adopted elements from the "Ethiopian airs", minstrel shows and Negro spirituals, including instrumental and harmonic accompaniment. The style also was closely related to ragtime, which developed at about the same time, though the blues better preserved "the original melodic patterns of African music"

JuJutsu Kaisen Story Structure: Prologue

To get ready for my series on JuJutsu Kaisen's story structure, I want to establish some basics.

First of all, I'll be using three-act structure as the primary basis of my analysis, but I might also look at some other formats, like Blake Snyder's Save the Cat, Dan Harmon's Story Circle, Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey, Freytag's Pyramid, Kishotenketsu, and some others.

Second, it's important to know that the three acts of three-act structure are not of equal length. The first and third acts are 25% each, and the second act is the middle 50% of the story. For this reason, I'll be breaking the story down into quarters like so:

Act I

Act IIa

Act IIb

Act III

Last, timing obviously plays a big role in three-act structure! I don't want to talk about certain plot points until I've established where they fall in three-act structure, and what's *actually* there in JuJutsu Kaisen. To that end, here's a list of story arcs in JJK, and the chapters where they fall:

Fearsome Womb arc: chapters 1-18

vs. Mahito arc: chapters 19-31

Kyoto Goodwill Event arc: chapters 32-54

Death Painting arc: chapters 55-64

Gojo's Past arc: chapters 65-79

Shibuya Incident arc: chapters 79-136

Itadori's Extermination arc: chapters 137-143

Perfect Preparation arc: chapters 144-158

Culling Game arc: chapters 159-221

Shinjuku Showdown arc: chapters 222-271

Now, here is a list of major plot beats in three-act structure, and the point at which they typically fall in a story:

Hook: at the very beginning

Inciting event: 12%

First plot point: 25%

First pinch point: 37%

Midpoint: 50%

Second pinch point: 62%

Third plot point: 75%

Beginning of climax: 88%

Resolution: 98%

Note: because the midpoint is the second plot point, the next one is called the third plot point.

With all that in mind, here's approximately where each of these plot points should happen in the chapter count:

Hook: chapter 1 (beginning of Fearsome Womb arc)

Inciting event: chapter 34 (near beginning of Kyoto Goodwill Event arc)

First plot point: chapter 68 (near beginning of Gojo's Past arc)

First pinch point: chapter 102 (mid-Shibuya Incident arc)

Midpoint: chapter 136 (end of Shibuya Incident arc)

Second pinch point: chapter 170 (early in Culling Game arc)

Third plot point: chapter 204 (about two-thirds of the way through the Culling Game arc)

Beginning of climax: chapter 238 (early-ish in Shinjuku Showdown arc)

Resolution: not more than the last 5 or so chapters (end of Shinjuku Showdown arc)

I think this is fairly accurate, though there are some points that I think are slightly off; for example, I think it's more likely that the first plot point occurs before Gojo's Past arc, and that Gojo's Past begins the second act.

So, for the purpose of this series, I'll be analyzing the four quarters as follows:

Act I: Fearsome Womb, vs. Mahito, Kyoto Goodwill, and Death Painting arcs

Act IIa: Gojo's Past and Shibuya Incident arcs

Act IIb: Itadori's Extermination and Perfect Preparation arcs plus part of the Culling Game arc

Act III: remainder of the Culling Game arc and Shinjuku Showdown arc

godd i'm so. compelled. by the audio in this show. i'm finally allowing myself a re-watch, now that school is out of session, and i finally got to 'the ladder' episode. and i noticed that, right after sir john gets thrown down the ice hole, that the audio gets strangely muffled.

almost like it's underwater. the only thing that isn't muffled is the music in the background.

[wehavecometoanend--maybe]

there's something deeply ironic that the longer I stay in uni the worse I get at analysing music like at this point just shoot me

“Song of War”

Oh, the tonal Sound

that reaches ever deep;

across the mires of Death’s decay,

and through the inner guard;

I hear your call, old friend;

once more we sound the beat,

and rev the engines loud;

the chorus to your Song;

Oh, the tonal Sound

the same in victory or defeat;

the difference only stemming,

from who listens and who Sings

I hear your call, my friend;

the sound of war and grief;

and never I shall ever hear,

a Song so bittersweet.

Oh, the tonal Sound

that haunts and clings and seeps,

of Sparks' harmonics ended,

Songs of War, made from their notes.

Oh, truly am I wretched

for I love to hear the Song

that reaches ever deep;

across the mire’s of Death’s decay,

and through the inner guard.

this is far and away my favorite explanation of the story circle!! will schoder's videos in general are excellent

Writing Notes: The Story Circle

The Story Circle by Dan Harmon is a basic narrative structure that writers can use to structure and test their story ideas.

Telling stories is an inherently human thing, but how we structure the narrative separates a good story from a truly great one.

The Dan Harmon Story Circle describes the structure of a story in 3 acts and with 8 plot points, which are called steps.

When you have a protagonist who will progress through these, you have a basic character arc and the bare minimum of a story.

As a narrative structure, it is descriptive, not prescriptive, meaning it doesn’t tell you what to write, but how to tell the story.

The steps outline when the plot points occur and the order in which your hero completes their character development.

These 8 steps are:

You - A character is in their zone of comfort

Need - But they want something

Go! - So they enter an unfamiliar situation

Struggle - To which they have to adapt

Find - In order to get what they want

Suffer - Yet they have to make a sacrifice

Return - Before they return to their familiar situation

Change - Having changed fundamentally

The hero completes these steps in a circle in a clockwise direction, going from noon to midnight.

The top half of the circle and its two-quarters of the whole make up act one and act three, while the bottom half comprises the longer second act.

In their consecutive order, the Story Circle describes the 3 acts:

Act I: The order you know

Act II: Chaos (the upside-down)

Act III: The new order

Working with the Story Circle enables you to think about your main character and to plot from their emotional state.

The steps will automatically make your hero proactive as you focus on their motivation, their actions and the respective consequences.

I wonder what th--yes I know you were about to finish hold on this is more interesting. do you think that's from the vibrational modes in the structure of the vibe itself or is it more from the interface with the fluid? hold on, see how it--would you stop fucking squirming for a second.

Casa Amani : a Midcentury Home in Copperdale (NO CC)

SPECIAL EDITION: Casa Amani is reviewed and architect approved by Jakarta based architect and urban planner, Alyssa Wibowo.

Casa Amani – A Midcentury Jewel in Copperdale

Perched atop a serene hill overlooking the misty waters of Lake Copperdale, Casa Amani is a masterfully restored midcentury modern retreat that effortlessly blends natural tranquility with sophisticated design. Originally constructed in 1964 by Lesmana and Sons Co. , this home was thoughtfully renovated in 2024 by Lesmana Enterprise, preserving its original soul while introducing warm, modern comforts for a new era.

With its flat rooflines, expansive glass walls, and natural stone detailing, Casa Amani exemplifies midcentury architecture’s love for harmony between structure and landscape. Inside, the earthy palette and rich wood tones create an atmosphere of warmth and calm. From the handcrafted stone fireplace to the built-in shelves lined with books and records, every corner tells a story.

The red-toned blinds filter Copperdale’s golden hour light, casting soft shadows on heirloom rugs and polished teakwood furniture. Large floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outdoors in, allowing the surrounding pine forest to become an ever-changing backdrop.

A Home Designed in 1964, with the Comforts of the 21st Century.

Lesmana Enterprise approached the renovation of Casa Amani with deep respect for its 1964 midcentury roots—preserving its architectural charm while reimagining it for modern living. The exterior was subtly refined to harmonize with the forested landscape, while the interior was thoughtfully updated with warm wood tones, renewed midcentury furnishings, and contemporary comforts. Every detail, from the lighting to the layout, was carefully planned to meet today’s aesthetic while honoring the timeless soul of the original design.

Carefully Planned Living Quarters that Blends with Nature

The living quarters were reconfigured with intention, offering a layout that suits the needs of a small family. Communal spaces like the open living and dining area encourage togetherness, while private corners and a spacious bedroom ensure comfort and quiet. It’s a home that balances nostalgia with functionality—perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat with room to grow.

Outdoor Living, Elevated

Casa Amani’s outdoor spaces are designed for both relaxation and year-round enjoyment. A heated swimming pool invites quiet morning swims or moonlit dips, while multiple balconies offer sweeping views of Lake Copperdale and the surrounding pines. An intimate outdoor fire pit area creates the perfect setting for cozy gatherings, storytelling, or simply unwinding beneath the stars. Thoughtfully integrated with the natural terrain, the exterior is as much a retreat as the home itself.

Currently listed at §160,000, Casa Amani is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle of slow living, mountain air, and curated peace. Whether you're a writer, a creative soul, or simply a Sim who craves a break from the noise of San Myshuno, this hilltop haven offers a timeless escape.

Birth Chart Breakdown: Ascendant/Descendant (All Signs)

Your Ascendant is the energy you radiate into the world, the way you naturally present yourself before deeper layers are revealed. It is your instinctive response to life, influencing how others perceive you and how you navigate new experiences.

Your Descendant, sitting opposite, represents the qualities you seek in relationships, the energies that complement and challenge you. It holds a mirror to the traits you may not always recognize within yourself but are drawn to in others. Through your partnerships, you come to understand the missing pieces of your own identity.

There is an instinctive independence to your approach—bold, direct, and unafraid of challenges. Life is a battlefield to conquer, and you thrive in the pursuit of personal goals. But relationships ask something different of you. With Libra ruling your Descendant, you are drawn to those who embody diplomacy, grace, and the ability to balance your fiery nature with harmony. You seek a partner who teaches you the art of compromise, someone who reminds you that strength is not just in action but in understanding.

You seek someone who softens your edges, who reminds you that not everything needs to be figured out, that some things are meant to be felt rather than analyzed.

You seek someone who grounds your emotional storms, who reminds you that strength is not just found in transformation, but in endurance. Love, for you, is about learning that true power lies not only in depth but in consistency—the kind of connection that does not waver, but holds steady through it all.

You are driven by the pursuit of truth, constantly seeking meaning beyond the ordinary. Experience is your greatest teacher, and you crave the freedom to roam. But relationships thrive in connection. With Gemini on the Descendant, you are drawn to partners who challenge your ideas, keep your mind sharp, and remind you that wisdom is not just found in the journey but in conversation. Love, for you, is about learning that true expansion isn’t only about movement, but about staying long enough to truly listen, to share, and to grow together.

You seek someone who reminds you that love isn’t earned through accomplishment, but freely given. Love, for you, is about learning that true strength lies in allowing yourself to be vulnerable, in finding security not just in structure, but in deep emotional connection.

🌐 Aquarius Ascendant / Leo Descendant – The Rebel vs. The Romantic You navigate life with a detached, intellectual approach, valuing freedom and innovation above all else.

You need someone who reminds you that love is not just an idea to be understood, but an experience to be felt. Love, for you, is about learning to step into the spotlight of your own emotions, to embrace vulnerability, and to let your heart be as bold as your mind.

🌊 Pisces Ascendant / Virgo Descendant – The Mystic vs. The Grounded Partner You step into the world with an ethereal presence, moving through life with deep sensitivity and an innate connection to the unseen. You are guided by intuition, emotion, and dreams. But relationships ground you in reality. With Virgo on the Descendant, you are drawn to partners who bring structure, logic, and a sense of practical guidance. You seek someone who helps you make sense of your feelings, who provides stability without stifling your creative soul. Love, for you, is about learning that dreams need form, that vision needs action, and that a connection is strongest when it honors both magic and method.

✨ The Ascendant is the face you show the world. The Descendant is the mirror that reflects who you become through others. Understanding their interplay helps you navigate life with both confidence and connection, balancing the self you express with the self you discover in love. ✨

🌙✨ Astrological Placements That Indicate Physical Beauty ✨🌙

Because some people just glow differently under the stars...

In astrology, beauty isn’t just about facial features — it’s a dance of charm, aura, and celestial harmony. Certain placements in a birth chart whisper of natural allure, magnetic presence, and a kind of glow you can't fake. Here are the most common astrological indicators of physical beauty — both seen and deeply felt:

💖 1. Venus: the planet of beauty and charm

When Venus is strong — especially in signs like Taurus, Libra, or Pisces — or making soft aspects (like trines or sextiles) to the Ascendant, Sun, Moon, or Mars, it often gives a naturally attractive appearance, soft features, and a graceful vibe.

Examples:

Venus in Libra or Taurus = classic beauty, symmetry

Venus in Pisces = dreamy, enchanting beauty

☀️ 2. The Sun: your golden aura

A well-placed Sun, especially in Leo, Libra, or Taurus, enhances charisma and a radiant physical presence. When the Sun harmonizes with the Ascendant, it can give a warm glow — the kind that lights up a room without trying.

🌙 3. The Moon: softness and allure

The Moon reflects your emotional expression and facial features. When in tender signs like Cancer, Taurus, or Libra, or touched by Venus, it creates a sweet expression, luminous skin, and soulful eyes.

⬆️ 4. Ascendant: the face you show the world

Your Ascendant is your physical appearance and style. Rising signs like Libra, Leo, Taurus, and Pisces often bring a visually pleasing aura, with elegance, softness, or magnetism.

Planets conjunct the Ascendant, especially Venus, the Sun, or Jupiter, can enhance natural beauty and glow.

🔥 5. Mars: sex appeal and vitality

Mars rules the body and physical vitality. In signs like Aries, Leo, Scorpio, or Sagittarius, it brings strength, intensity, and a magnetic energy. Mars in aspect to Venus or the Ascendant = hot.

🍀 6. Jupiter: beauty with warmth

When Jupiter makes a gentle aspect to Venus or the Ascendant, it adds a generous kind of beauty — one that’s not just physical, but radiant and expansive.

Think: soft laughter, glowing skin, and that feeling of warmth you can’t explain.

🎀 7. Midheaven in aesthetic signs

The Midheaven (MC) is how the world sees you. When it’s in signs like Libra, Taurus, or Leo, your public image often includes style, beauty, or grace — like you were born to be seen.

🌸 Cosmic Beauty Recipe Example:

Venus in Libra in the 1st House, trine Ascendant in Gemini, and Sun in Leo?

You're not just beautiful. You’re art.

🌊Bonus: The Secret Beauty of Water Signs

If you’re a Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces, or have these signs strong in your chart (especially on the Ascendant, Moon, Venus or in the 1st house), your beauty comes from something felt, not just seen. Here’s what makes each of them captivating:

🌙 Cancer Rising / Venus in Cancer

Moonlit glow

Soft, round features

Innocent eyes that hold stories

A beauty that feels like home

🦂 Scorpio Rising / Venus in Scorpio

Piercing eyes, magnetic silence

Intense gaze, strong bone structure

Quiet power, hypnotic allure

A beauty that’s hard to look away from — and hard to forget

🌊 Pisces Rising / Venus in Pisces

Dreamy expression, fluid grace

Ethereal face, soft voice

Eyes that shimmer like water

A beauty that feels like music or moonlight
