Bigger Than Me, live acoustic performance on Sirius XM 9.16.22 (posted 10.2.22)

The thing I love about this performance is how natural and easy Louis sounds, how relaxed and in command. This was by far the best acoustic performance of BTM so far, better than GMA and much better than Elvis Duran.

Just like Louis’ performances of We Made It and Too Young at Sirius XM back in 2019, Bigger Than Me is done with acoustic instruments. The setting is coffeehouse-like but with very expensive studio equipment 😄: good mics, speakers, & acoustic instruments. The accompaniment is barebones. There’s little vocal harmony and almost no backing track (Isaac’s voice doubles Louis’ in the chorus).

This means that there is nowhere for Louis’ voice to hide. As in chamber music, we hear everything: every crack, every pitch correction, every strain in the throat. So Louis’ performance, like a dive off the high board, has to be perfectly executed yet effortlessly easy— and Louis does it. This performance was a tour de force.

One difference with the 2019 performance is that Louis knows this band inside and out, and they know him. After dozens of bathroom warm up exercises, they know how they sound together. They communicate by listening to each other, they can anticipate. There’s a confidence in the air that each man will do what he is supposed to do, that they can adapt to any circumstance. Louis’ implicit trust in his band is evident in his closing his eyes for the entire performance, concentrating only on what he hears. He takes out the left in-ear for the choruses just to hear the balance of the instruments and the accuracy of his belted melody. He’s straight on.

The contrast between Louis singing solo in the second verse (“So come on call me liar/ yeah you’re so quick to judge”) with his smoky emo voice, to the warmth of the male vocal harmony (singing inverted harmony above, “All those voices, all those choices/ I don’t hear them anymore”) makes me want to scream, “I love you, boys!” They simply sound sublime in a loose, honeyed, ambling way. Louis found himself some really good musicians and great people.

Listen to Louis sing the big soaring chorus and hear how strong his central abdominal muscles are. He projects the sound without any throat strain (and takes out his in-ears to listen to himself). Louis isn’t pushing the sound out from the vocal cords, but powering it from a controlled diaphragm and strong abs. His voice sounds powerful without screaming. The vocal cords are vibrating symmetrically and fluidly. Moreover, Louis and the boys have to obtain a beautiful, rounded vocal quality without really using any vibrato (vocal cord vibrations around a frequency)— which is very hard. He is doing theater singing, rock opera singing: a belted voice without too much vibrato, without mic tricks, without synth, without reverb. The tone has to come from shaping the mouth and throat alone, and it’s projected toward the mic.

Most fun of all! We can tell that this is 100% live singing, not lip synching. Smoking and drinking notwithstanding, Louis has been able to keep his high tenor tessatura, and the pure, bell-like tone of his younger voice has taken on a smokier, older, raspier and more complex timbre. What a treat it is when Louis is at his best.

Disclaimer: This is a linguistics-heavy post. The post covers some of the progress after about a month on the conlanging projects.

Overgrownian

Overgrownian is a very phonetic language, in that the pronunciation is fairly straightforward and without weird spellings like in English

The endonym (native name) of the Overgrown, leim Ailəyetié (IPA: /leɪm aːilə'jɛtiːɛː/) – roughly translates to "flourishing, luxuriant"

There is an animate/inanimate grammatical gender divide; in the language itself, they are called "light words" and "dark words", respectively

The plural method is based on the word for 'the' used; there are 6 different forms of 'the' depending on the grammatical gender (and/or if it is a proper noun) and whether the noun is singular or plural, but the base noun itself does not change

There are different words for inclusive and exclusive "we"

There are also different words for "thank you" in response to a gift or a service (I totally did not yoink that from my mother tongue, shh)

There is an insane number of colours due to the many different tints for flowers and plants of all sorts

For colour-words in noun form, due to their contrasting origins, all abstract colours are inanimate, while all descriptive colour-words are animate because their etymology is almost always derived from animate concepts

There are a fair number of loan-words from other languages, e.g. "(the) beach/coast" is lei Atsomúzin (IPA: /leɪ ətsɔ'muːʒiːn/), which was borrowed from Middle Oceanic

Oceanic

Different biomes have different dialects; but not Chinese varieties-level different because the ocean is considerably more static than land (Inspiration: biological evolution is slower in the sea than on land due to a more constant environment)

There is a sound is only comprehensible to fish people, roughly romanized as the English sound PR; it is said to be rooted in an onomatopoeia of the sound of the ocean

There is no grammatical gender, but titles and pronouns (when applicable) differentiate between genders a lot; this is because fish have complex gender identities due to some being relevant to certain aquatic species (e.g. clownfish)

Word order is subject-object-verb (SOV)

Transgender people are "of the stripes; striped" as the state of being transgender is first observed and documented among the Clownfish people

Salmon are natively translated as "parasites from the rivers" because they "feed on the bounty of the ocean" as adults and "their heartland is the rivers where they were born" → the more modern (as of Season 1) politically neutral term is the English/Common loanword sh(a)-m(o)

The writing system is read boustrophedonically (left to right then right to left)

On this day, October 12

In 2022: My Chemical Romance performed their 55th show of the 2022-2023 Swarm tour in Inglewood, California, USA. At this show, Gerard Way wore a red "black sheep" sweater (a design also worn by Princess Diana) with a black neck-scarf, and two tally marks were drawn on the drums. The majority of the songs performed at this show were from their second album, "Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge". (🖤)

Watch the show here!

Oli, seeing his base gone: My base has been eroded and lost to time and the elements of nature entirely! Woe is me!

Pix, having uprooted the entire damn thing from the beach and moved it to the Museum because he was scared Oli would tear it down:
