Ostinato (update)

(commissioned artwork of Lachlan Shepard and Kaidan Alenko by @me1onmi1k)

Guess who started whispering into my ear today!

Going through some old (and I mean OLD!) prompts to see what I can come up with! (so old I can't even find the original ask for it!)

Prompt: In the moonlight/celebration

On AO3 in full here

OTP: The Music Lives On found here

Excerpt:

Lachlan once heard that night skies are the best skies because they hold secret and safe the stories of the different worlds they envelope.  He’s been under many night skies over the years.  The double moons of Mindoir.    Terra Nova for one night before all hell broke loose.  The unpolluted darkness out at the Alenko orchard.  Numerous other worlds over the years of serving with the Alliance. 

But the night sky of Elysium, at this moment in time, is the most brilliant and beautiful and he never wants to forget it.

A heavy glass clinks lightly with ice as it’s pressed into his hand and the peaty aroma tickles his nose.  Smiling, Lachlan leans back as his husband’s arm wraps around him and he sighs softly, humming his appreciation.  Kaidan clinks their glasses together, laughter filling Lachlan’s ears.  “To us.”

“Hmm.  To us.”  Lachlan straightens to sip his drink, savoring the taste as he continues to look up at the star-lit sky.  Turning, he rests his hips against the balcony railing and focuses his gaze on Kaidan.  “D’you ever think about how damned lucky we are?”

ok so i recognize that shelby said in her stream today that witchcraft joey and pirate joe are not the same person. however, 1. @pixlostinatos and i were having this conversation before we knew about this and 2. this is funnier, so we're gonna pretend.

so we were talking about the implications of shelby and joey's endings, and the fact that, in his episode 3 of witchcraft, joey makes a remark about being "a pirate in a past life" (around the 31 minute mark)

we came to, like, two extended conclusions.

joey's ending for season 2 is akin to his season 1 ending. it was all a hallucination/dream, and he's just dead now. this is not in tone with the rest of the season, and as such, very unlikely, and less fun for all involved.

his ending is NOT a hallucination, and he just dies somehow in between the finale and the start of witchcraft. don't worry about it.

however, if he's reincarnated as witch!joey the Normal way (y'know, being born as a new person), that makes witch!joey, at most, 11 years old. and while it is hilarious to consider that all these adults took the competition with this 11 year old totally seriously, it's also... no. no i'm not doing that.

so, we decided that at some point in witch!joey's life, the soul of pirate joe just got shoved into his brain due to the whims of the universe. cause why not. it's kinda funny.

this leaves two options for how that went about, in our eyes.

the reasonable option: this is why witch!joey developed his fire powers. universe said "here's some new, antithetical powers, and a new soul to mix with yours. have fun!" he figured this out at some point in his life through normal reasons, perhaps by seeing shelby for the first time and being like "hold on, i know her. why am i a pirate in the memories i have with her."

the FUNNY option, and the reason i made this post: witch!joey and pirate joe's souls got combined at some point when he was a kid, and literally no one noticed, including witch!joey, for multiple years. witch!joey (canonically gay) only figured out something had happened when he briefly remembered katherine and was like "wait a second".

#empires spoilers #empires smp #witchcraft smp #joey graceffa #shubble #we think we're SO funny #to be clear i have not actually watched witchcraft so all info i know about it is second hand from ostinatos #but like. stick with me this is funny right. #this is also EXTRA funny if you (like me) headcannon pirate joe as a reincarnation of s1 joey #because s1 joey is ALSO canonically gay #he just had one lifetime of bisexuality for fun

thinking about putting together a murray gold leitmotif fakebook

#fakebook = realbook but illegal #realbook = compilation of (usually) jazz standards melody + chord symbols #so it would basically just be melody and chords and MAYBE some ostinato parts #it depends #the lineup would probably be like. #companion themes for: rose martha donna amy clara bill #+ little amy & i call myself me & face of boes theme & marthas quest & together or not at all (+possibly a guitar tab for claras diner) #the doctors theme (the bad wolf one) i am the doctor & a good man? & sad man with a box & maybe song for four i think #villains: daleks‚ cybermen #places/organizations: UNIT rocks‚ this is gallifrey #episode themes: silence in the library & heaven sent & fathers day & madame de pompadour #spinoffs: the sarah jane adventures theme & mr smith's theme & torchwood theme & captain jacks theme #then maybe bc theyre long + might take ages: shepherds boy & vale decem & all the strange strange creatures & long song & doomsday #& where theres tears theres hope #possibly also song of freedom cause i know it #ari opinion hour #dw music #murray gold

So, thanks to the Master Duel new/returning player campaign, I decided to return to Master Duel to farm gems and prepare myself for the arrival of the Melodious cards. Lamentably, because of no Konami account, I had to start over.

And I just decided to do one or maybe two multis on the Melodious pack to prepare.

I HADN'T GOTTEN A MELODIOUS ROYAL BEFORE, THIS IS MY FIRST ONE.

I didn't re-use that riff, it's called a recurring motif you uncultured swine

#also i'm referring to riffs as ostinatoes from now on just to be an asshole

it's not you. it's the fact that miguel o'hara is 6"9

#this is my sister's joke and i'm putting it on my blog #how did she find out? #she was literally just making coffee then thought to herself “it would be unfortunate if i fell for a short king” #like that was her exact thought #and she decided to google miguel o'hara's height immediately #and then she came downstairs to tell me #and i asked her how she even came to know such a thing #and i have laughed my ass off #i call it her joke but she wasn't joking which is why it was mad funny #she's also happy he's in his thirties for some reason #i mean she's almost 25 so i guess it makes sense #miguel o'hara #the ostinato #ostinatoverse #spiderverse #into the spiderverse #itsv #across the spiderverse #atsv #sst au #sst

Jantra - Synthesized Sudan: Astro-Nubian Electronic Jaglara Dance Sounds from the Fashaga Underground

Near the border of Sudan, Eritrea, and Ethiopia, a disputed area called Fashaga is home to one of the most raucous, hypnotic, addictive, and celestial dance musics being made anywhere in Africa, perhaps the least known to the wider world of them all. Far from the townships of South Africa or the cities of Nigeria, this sound belongs to people intimately tied to their land, deep in the rural areas of Sudan. Known in some circles as “Jaglara,” this mysterious cosmic dance music is being innovated by one man, named Jantra, which translates as “craziness,” a moniker bestowed to celebrate both his personality and sound. Jantra cuts a mysterious figure, a rather unknown quantity even in Sudan, outside of the select few circles which have granted him cult status to perform at their humble gatherings or at street parties far from the gaze of the wider world.  Never without his trusty blue Yamaha keyboard, Jantra joins a wave of synthesizer maestros across Africa revolutionizing the electronic sound of the continent. His dexterous fingers and street side raves in his home town of Gedarif near the Sudan-Ethiopia border caught the attention of a less privileged segment of Sudanese society who became infatuated. But you wouldn’t stumble across one of his parties unless you knew where to look, and they take place where few ever care to look. Jantra has no songs. He simply freestyles a combination of his melodies incessantly for hours on end, acting as a live producer and DJ for emphatic crowds in compact spaces, where the energy of his 155-168 BPM music is known to inspire the odd gunslinger to raise his pistol in the middle of the dance floor, ready to fire away a few shots into the air when the build up reaches climax. His Yamaha keyboard, like most keyboards, is not made in Africa and not tuned to cater to Sudanese rhythms or melodies. It required special tweaks from legendary keyboard mechanics in Omdurman market outside of the capital Khartoum who service, maintain, and jolt these synths to work for their aesthetics and flavor profile. Jantra then further tweaks the sound to achieve what you’re hearing — the perfect, sweet key tone, literally universal in its appeal. To produce this album, the Ostinato team pioneered a new approach: a hybrid reissue-contemporary album. Jantra had made a few cassette and digital recordings in his early days. We used excerpts from those and followed him to his legendary parties on the outskirts of the outskirts of the capital. Using a special technique devised by Ostinato producer Janto Koité, we extracted the individual melodic patterns, rhythms, as well as the MIDI data, and combined them with older recordings to recreate his lengthy sessions into individual dance tracks for a worldwide audience to reach the enviable frenzy of Sudanese crowds. This promising new dance music emerging from the deepest reaches of Sudan has never made its way outside of Jantra’s parties, let alone outside of the country, and never been professionally recorded. This record is confirmation that the many electronic styles being exported from Africa have a new worthy sibling and rival — Jantra’s signature electronic Jaglara from the Fashaga underground. It is a privilege of the highest order to be exposed to this unheralded, incredibly well kept rural Sudanese secret.

(If for some reason this doesn't play for you, I have it here, too...)

So I finally did it--I created a Tumblr Frog Song!!! It took me all month 'cuz the way these froggies sing made it really difficult to construct something coherent 😭

First off, I typed out what pitches each frog sang and numbered them...

Then I had to sit and think about how to make a song out of these froggies who sing two pitches consecutively each time, a fourth apart... 🤔

I finally came up with this little repeating pattern today, and--thanks to copy and paste and digital playback--I created a layered ostinato of sorts (John Cage and Steve Reich, eat your heart out!)...

Here are the different layers typed out in Tumblr-notation...

Now when I imported the layers into my DAW, I ran into trouble--because these little froggies don't like to keep the same tempo with each other!!! But, using my tools, I "cheated" a little and forced them to at least come slightly more together in tempo... But I didn't want to change them all too much, otherwise it sounded less like frogs and more like annoying robots... which at times they almost do anyway... 😂

Here's the scene of the chopped up layers in my DAW...

___________________________

At any rate, I hope this makes you giggle a little today 😜
