but how do we KNOW we're not one of the books within the stacks this whole time-

[thedeafprophet]

sorry paused and thought about the stacks too hard and immediatly faced the concept of what it must have been like for the 'apocryphal' versions of characters to become aware of their reality

like how do you face that you were deemed a version of you that shouldnt have ever existed. how do you face the fact that your whole entire timeline was one of many, snipped off from its thread of the tapestry and trapped within the spine of a book

whole thing not yet finished. but veilgarden last call is finished and thus you can, must, and shall listen to it Now:

programme notes: veilgarden last call is basically a da capo aria, which it is quite difficult to get across for midi instruments. you can probably make out the strophic structure and the contrast between the a section and the b section but of course you can't really tell midis "ok go ham on it tbh". but you can imagine that the instrumentalists are going ham on it and that's what counts.

solos are (btw) piccolo, oboe, and shamisen. (but you could probably substitute the shamisen for guitar if you liked/didn't have somebody on hand who could play the shamisen.)

otherwise it's scored for two oboes (or two oboe sections if you're nasty), two Bb clarinets, two bassoons, two trumpets, two tenor trombones, bass trombone, tuba, timpani, and percussion (tambourine, snare drum, gran cassa, and a cymbal for one note at the end).

sometimes I read older text and I feel like some older stuff with the royal bethlehem leaned further into the 'playing on the irl asylum' concept [specifically ie. the mention of nurses in some text] which I'm kind of glad doesn't come up as much these days.

but at the same time I've always been wondering what it *means* to have turned such a horrid place with a horrific history into a *hotel* in the in universe. bedlams history is horrific....
