id just had a most strange occurrence.. i thought id mention it here.. i was walking my dog just now and crossed through an empty feild area where a jungle gym is placed for children and there was someone around the area alone, playing the saxophone.. it was loud and very odd, i didnt say anything, and i didnt want to interupt them.. i couldnt see who it was cause it was so dark.. they were just standing somewhere in the jungle gym area playing the saxophone alone at 8:30 at night….. …
then after i saw a gaggle of men in white.. they were playing in the street and ran away when they saw me.. i was by myself..
though i did have a good time.. the music was really beautiful.. and i am sort of used to it by now as i have strange things happen all the time like that.. but this one was much stranger in particular cause of how loud the saxophone was.. and that i couldnt see literally anyone ?? i feel really at peace, i think this experience is very comforting regardless..
i just wonder deeply for the energy i attract.. life is so interesting.. no matter what i imagine theres always something else..
Pick a (probably not actually) Ambient Song From a Bad Description
To be honest, this isn't even really André 3000's fault; I've been trying to build a playlist around one of these songs for a long time, and this just gave me the impetus.
Pick a song, any song! But you only have my bad descriptions to go off. If you're genuinely curious about a song, please shoot me an ask and I will answer you. If you have guesses, I always enjoy those. (If you actually recognize the violent YouTube catharsis song, please let me know -- judging by the video comments it's a surprisingly common experience?)
Poll runs for a week. At the end of the poll, I will make a playlist out of all songs, in order from least votes to most votes. If you would like to hear that playlist, leave a comment or put it in the tags, and I will tag you when the playlist goes up.
And in the meantime, I will be streaming as much ambient as possible to infuse my Black Friday with some kind of sense of calm. And maybe just a little industrial. For the catharsis.
I really like how the piano in the background of AKAA sounds so gentle, so lovely, listening to the instrumental feels like a warm soothing hug, totally contrasting the pain, passion, frustration in Haruka's voice (and the general dark theme of AKAA)
Weakness is the opposite; the instrumental is very chaotic—in a wonderful way—but Haruka's singing sounds calmer, even at the moments where he's shown to be in great distress.
I also like how at the end of AKAA the music starts to get not so gentle, it really feels like it's showing how Haruka was having a total mental breakdown, how his entire world was collapsing in seconds (and suddenly there's hardly any music anymore. He's come back to his senses and realizes nothing will be the same again. I could ramble forever about Haruka's smile, how it seemed to me like a broken "I messed up" smile rather than a "finally, I got attention" smile, at the very end of AKAA)
Been trying to give a proper design for Stephanie even if she’s not in the musical. I remember she was mentioned to be goth and I wanted to try and make her look more trad goth. I don’t think I added enough accessories but I think it looks okay
The composers of the Over the Garden Wall theme song were really like “is anyone going to create one of the most soothing songs of all time?” and didn’t wait for an answer
found out today that my dad has music on spotify... where has he been hiding this hello???? but he only has 6 monthly listeners :( so i will be streaming it now on loop. love you dad <3
I hate when something sad happens and all I want is to go spend a week out in the country away from where I heard the bad news like somehow being away from home means the Bad Things can’t reach me. It’s literally just running away. I want to lay at the bottom of a moving river (not dead, not drowning, a secret third thing)
