April 14th, 2009 · Music

A friend of mine linked to this amusing little music toy. It’s basically scaled notes which are played by activating them on the 16-step sequencer grid. The neat thing about it is that sharing with whoever wants to listen is easy. Get the numerical values of your random creation by right click – copy – [...]

Antukin

March 13th, 2009 · Music

The latest song from Rico Blanco. The lyrics speak to me in a very real way, it’s melodic (that piano solo at the end of the bridge is awesome), and it’s funny. Which means it’s just like Business Time. Which is golden. Iniwan ka na ng eroplano OK lang baby Wag kang magbago Dito ka [...]

I Popped my FL Studio Cherry.

November 8th, 2008 · Music

Yup, no longer a virgin to that. And what do I have to show for it? Only this poorly constructed beat, using preconstructed samples already provided in-program. Oh and it’s meant to be looped. Haha oh man I have to get cracking on this stuff. Comments are appreciated. Tech Loop

A Most Delicious Medley.

September 24th, 2008 · Games, Music

Yes, it is. I won’t deny it, I have a rather unhealthy fascination with Cave Story. Friends of mine who can read sheet music and play the piano (hopefully at the same time), how about an attempt?

Across the Universe

May 31st, 2008 · Movies, Music

I’ve just finished watching Across the Universe for the third time. Still a great movie. I found it great how they managed to make a semi-coherent story out of the words of the Beatles. They placed it against a socio-political backdrop, which serves to highlight this period piece as a story of a generation. At [...]

Sarah McLachlan Needs More Airtime.

May 30th, 2008 · Music

As much as I am open to all types of music, I can’t help but feel bored by what’s currently popular (because it already gets a lot of airtime). And I can only take so much R&B now. Sarah McLachlan’s voice is purty. Angel is a favorite of mine from way back, Adia would get [...]

Rock You Like a Hurricane

February 14th, 2008 · Games, Music, Visual Art

Yeah it’s the Scorpions song, it’s been playing in my head for the past couple of days. This’ll probably be my last single image post. I’ll be posting them in twos or threes in the future. I’ve been playing too much Guitar Hero. Sometimes my wrist hurts for quite a long time even after I [...]

Wall Dives and the Value of Game Music

December 18th, 2007 · Games, Music

Music is almost always present in a game. Be it a character’s theme or the sound that’s playing for the level, it’s there in one form or another. When it’s not, it’s usually done for cinematic purposes, like heightening the player’s fear/suspicion of the current situation or some other gameplay mechanic, and only within a [...]
