*sigh* well here's a sample of the kind of music i make. i play star rail because the game genuinely tickles my autism, so i submitted this to the 2024 multiverse vistas competition. it didn't place at all, but i'm proud of it i think. it's brighter than the sun because i put all my skill points into sound design and not mixing and mastering. so i spent 80 billion years unmasking the vocals. whenever i get around to throwing this on other platforms, it'll definitely have much needed changes. but i adore this stupid song. i hope you will too :3 vocals by Moon Jelly and cover art by Yuni Okayu

CALLING ALL STARMANIA ENJOYERS

I don't know if this is going to find the right audience but I created a discord server for Starmania because I physically need to talk about it with people who understand my struggle ! This server is open to all, please feel free to join and discuss with us ! If you have art/writing/theories/any creation you want to share, this is the place to do it, I promise it will be nice to have a somewhat centralized place for that micro-fandom :) [Edit: don't hesitate to message me if the link doesn't work]

Anne de Bretagne, opéra rock

Might be a bit obscure, but has anyone here listened to/watched the musical Anne de Bretagne (though I prefer the French classification opéra rock)?

It doesn't appear to have very many fans or be well-known in general (so much so that searching for the key words "Anne de Bretagne" on Tumblr turns up, alongside some scant biographical posts on the woman whose life formed the historical basis for the production, one of my own posts on, curiously, my Hornblower post-canon continuation fic), but who knows, maybe there are others who enjoyed Anne de Bretagne, too?

Seeing as there are many people who enjoy the general time period (and historical fiction set in it, albeit often in a strictly English/British context), there has to be someone else beside me, right?

I found this opéra rock coincidentally, coming across Alan Simon's rendition of Le Prince d'Orange, sung in the musical by Laurent Tixier as Jean IV de Chalon-Arlay (whose daughter's nephew-in-law's great-grandson coincidentally features on this blog every now and then) and fell into a rabbit hole, and here I am.

Still laughing at Brian May offhandedly writing the greatest understatement in the history of academia in his astrophysics doctoral dissertation:

Ah, yes - “various pressures.” Like being one of the greatest guitarists ever and playing/writing/singing for the most legendary rock band of all time.

Those various pressures.

ok more singing

fuck it. i was singing in the previous post and i really like singing! i come from a vocalist background but i've had issues feeling comfortable with my tenor/alto range. i'm transfem (hi i'm the transgender tag) and was afraid of submitting to a competition bc a "real girl isn't singing". i literally moved out of texas because of the state of things there. so i shelved it in 2023, didn't submit to multiverse vistas, and very cautiously picked it up in 2024. so when i revisited everything all at once, i comm'd moon jelly. while i could maybe hit the notes with a bit of straining, her voice is more comfortably in the range of herta's voice. but i wanted to share an older version of eaao where i'm singing. aeonsim26/27 feels more intimate and i had always wanted to publish this song with my voice. but i think moon jelly still did a great job at helping the song shape up as far as cadence (i gave it a very odd cadence on purpose but i didn't fit as well in later versions) and giving body to the lyrics. i didn't like her version at first but genuinely her work added so much in the late drafting phase that i changed the key last minute and just went to town having fun with the instrumental. but yeah here's a few from the many revisions as i won't be able to look at them too closely in the video i'm making.

the original, the classic with me. yes, there was a cut drop! the original motif was started out of the piano after the drop.

taking that motif, this is part of the rework/revisit from 2024. i absolutely adore this version. you can see the song starting to shape up and it's probably my favorite. it feels very pretty patterns influenced towards the end. i was listening to a lot of pretty patterns at the time and he's a general influence on my work, so that would make sense. awesome artist, who also submitted to the competition with "70047" and got (third place user vote?). it was kinda crazy hearing he was submitting an entry when i was in my last week of work on this. go check out the entry!

second? key change from the original. this one has me singing again. didn't spend a ton of time with tuning because i was going for a very loose feel and had to hurry and believe it or not i wrote the majority of the lyrics on my phone in 20 min before bed after agreeing with mj on a comm price. i don't get how my brain works!

first presentable demo with moon jelly as the featured vocalist. this is just a bit after i started laying out her takes. i unfortunately ran out of time on the competition and wasn't able to rework her takes into something more clean with less distortion. so the vocals are basically an mp3! there was some miscommunication and life stuff and i still feel really bad about that! but i think she couldn't care less in the end. idk. i'm awkward and particular about my artistic vision. qwq

the final key change before the competition version. i think i'd call this a bit of a radio edit. i forgot to unmute the metronome track ugg. i love how mellow it is, but i ultimately wanted to go for a higher energy for the competition.

but yeah it was a lot of fun working on this and i hope to make other cool story projects and especially ones where i sing! i may revisit this song at another point to make some additional versions, but other than my video breaking down the prod, i will try and not make this song the only thing i talk about. final song link for anyone who may have come from the tags instead of my following.
