OK SO I think I finally have a direction for this blog, but financial aid might throw it under a bridge and burn it then maybe hit with a bus a few times and then light it on fire again just to be sure and if the fire wasn't enough, just wait for the water damage from putting the fire out...

Literally all it took was One (1) Mike picture and I had 20 tabs open to Google things while wailing at people indiscernibly while having a spiral (positive). This really is incredible

merfolk tend to favor specifically complex sounds in their music, alongside sharp contrast between different sounds and fairly "extreme" versions of sounds. exceedingly high pitched as well as low pitched sounds are also both exciting to them. repeating patterns are also lovely, as well as repeating patterns with minor variations that their brains can track easier than ours, as well as overlaying rhythms.
because of this, a significant portion of merfolk music sounds like the most earwormingest versions of Textured Music possible. it all tends to sound either unearthly and like literally nothing else, or going hard as hell at full throttle with very few other options for gentler stuff to ease landfolk into.
merfolk music history progresses unusually fast and its a common hobby to "remix" or reshuffle other songs into their songs or otherwise twist and play with the music until it spawns countless new music, so they dont really have a "beethoven" or "orchestral music" like how we have to introduce someone entirely new to our music. you would have to go back so far to get relatively simple music that its just no longer relevant to them. and also maybe less in their stone age and more in their pre-society evolutionary history as well.
this also means that it is a blessing that miranda has yet to introduce liam to merfolk music yet because the sheer unfettered variety would mean that liam would never be the same again. its just TOO indie and TOO underground for his blood.

I do agree that kaiju Belos took up vital screentime that could have gone to, yknow, plot. But goddam, Matthew Rhys was clearly having a fun day in the vocal booth. Whole pussy performance.
Exactly. Did we get cool elements that really showed the talent and technical skill of everyone involved, especially the voice actors? Absolutely. Were there still gigantic plot pieces that got thrown away seemingly for nothing? Also yes.

first uni/conservatory auditions tomorrow 🥲
i’m recording auditions at my friend’s house because he has a baby grand piano and i’m adding some pieces to make a performance out of it (adding a piece that i have to record for an solo aria competition + some pieces from my family’s mexican culture ✨ to sort of contrast the mostly classical repertoire) and i’ve made a program for it which i’m handing to the ~5 friends that i’ve invited to watch.
feeling nervous but hopefully having my pals there will make it feel more okay 👍
wish me luck lol

I went down a hell of a YouTube rabbit hole and ended up on a channel of piano accompaniments?
And this woman made an accompanying track to If I Cant Love Her from Beauty and the Beast IN MY KEY?
I’ve never been able to find a backing track for that song in a comfortable key for me, I’m thriving.
