Have you ever wondered what a non-lyrical OST for Check, Please! would sound like?

Me too!

A few days ago I was thinking about what type of background music you'd hear during different scenes in the comic, as if you were watching an omgcp tv show (there's still hope). Then I was like, screw it, I'll just write this music myself, because I had an idea and needed to see it come to life.

Thus, this 55-second track was born.

My thought process behind this is that this is the music you'd hear during 2.17 “Graduation." Or, when Jack and Shitty graduate at the end of year two and Bitty is going through all the emotions. I envision that this plays during a montage of shots throughout the day (of the empty Haus, of Samwell's campus, of the ceremony, of SMH getting the picture you see in the comic). All the while, Bitty is narrating overtop it for his vlog, and the abrupt ending is when Jack finds Bitty after the ceremony (more precisely, when Bitty looks up from his phone), and they have their talk. I really tried to aim on having it be both happy and sad, given how Bitty feels throughout the graduation, and I hope I succeeded in portraying that.

I've never undertaken a project like this before, and I'm actually proud of myself for coming up with this little thing. I'd like to write a track for The Kiss, too, and maybe a few other scenes.

Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy it!! It's best listened to with headphones, and if the volume/balancing sounds a bit wonky, I apologize. MuseScore can only do so much haha.

#me: what if instead of writing with vibes we listen with vibes? #omgcp #omgcheckplease #check please #composing #composition #musescore

The easiest part of making this video was to write the music..🎼 😅

The suggestions were made by my followers from all socials. ❤️

🙏 Thank you so much for all the response on this.. 😍

A minor harmonic was a delight to start this project with. ✨🎼

I hope the next ones won't take me as much time to complete as this one.. 😅

Practically speaking cinema is: putting images together in various musical measures. Editing is the music of cinema, as music is the architecture of time. Editing gives film its form, notation, counterpoint, development, pace, syncopation and style. Such an alchemy should be spared the censorious term of Editing. The art is that of Composing. To edit film is to compose eye music. When you edit do you know what key you are in, what your signature is, what your measures are?

A while back I had commissioned ZackPyO to do a Roa / London fanart for me with their demon/angel and light/darkness aesthetic. 😈😇

When I got the result I was so impressed and inspired that I recreated a similar image with my cosplays and with the help of the talented Iseris this is the result. ✨️

Unfortunately the original post of the fanart has disappeared, so I can't tag it anymore... 😭

This song borrows the Lost Elf Theme and the Thedas Love Theme to create what I call the “Solas Love Theme,” or “Uthenera: Fen’Harel Ver Na.” It is melancholy and hopeful and captures, at least in my humble opinion, the internal journey which Solas undertakes in Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Since the Solavellan Hell exchange authors have been revealed, I can finally share this here! I hope you all give it a listen and enjoy.

CREATIVITY AND THE CRITICAL MIND

The thing is, the most important thing whenever you have an idea… is to NOT EVER ask yourself why you should create that thing.

As soon as you ask why, your critical mind will try to “solve” this problem by - exactly - telling you why you shouldn’t. It’ll tell you that nobody reads your fics anyway, it’ll tell you that your drawings are wonky, that your voice isn’t good enough to sing that song, or at the very least - even if you’re completely confident in your abilities, the critical mind will tell you that this doesn’t pay your rent (or doesn’t pay enough, if you get paid) and/or that there’s no point in anything at all. Ever. Except cutting your hair, getting a job and surviving.

It actually doesn’t matter if the critical mind is technically right. The critical mind isn’t your creativity. The critical mind loves spreadsheets and risk calculations, it wants to keep you alive - but it doesn’t care if you’re happy. We love our critical minds for allowing us to survive, but it should never be consulted on creative matters (unless you’re about to go broke due to buying expensive oil paint - definitely listen to it then, haha. Food first!)

But if you have An Idea and your creative mind springs to action, just follow that bliss. If the why comes into your mind, just shove a pillow in its face and shhh it until the beep-beeps stop and it leaves you alone. It has no business judging your creative pursuits.

I’ve managed this recently. Whenever I have an idea and the critical mind wants to weigh in, I just activate denial mode. Full-on willful disassociation from that part of reality - and guys? It works. I now get why artists say they feel they’ve just found or downloaded their art from the ether, that they’re just conduits for creative lightening. Things just pour out, it’s like being a child again - and children are, as a group, lost in their own creativity most of the time, their brains literally need it to grow. It’s called playing. Remember playing? Yeah. Let’s go back to that.

I LOVE BEING A CREATIVE CHILD AGAIN.

(Gif chosen entirely on purpose, mama’s been chronically online since 2001 and creativity is a double-edged sword, but that’s a rant for another time)

Music for The Kiss at the end of Year Two, one of the most climactic moments in the series.

I ended up having to split this up into two different tracks: one that's a lot quieter and softer, which would ideally play between Jack leaving Bitty at the end of the graduation ceremony (end of 2.17), to right when Jack runs off to find Bitty after talking to his Dad.

The second is the big moment, where Jack finds Bitty in his old bedroom at the Haus. It's much more loud and grandiose. It's swooping and encompassing. It's the kiss.

As always, it's best listened to with headphones!! And be careful with the second track, it goes from real quiet to real loud pretty quickly!

The reason for splitting it into two is simply because, to me, it felt like two different tracks. I was trying to aim for something realistic that you'd hear in the tv show, and tv shows are chock full of dialogue and quiet moments; it quickly became apparent to me that there was a natural separation between the first half of this track and the second half, right after Jack runs off to find Bitty and right before he finds him (basically, when Bitty is crying to Halo by Beyonce).

Anyway, I got this out way faster than I was expecting. We can thank 1) back-to-back snow storms alongside back-to-back arctic freezes that kept me in the house all weekend and 2) sudden inspiration in the shower for how to actually start the first song.

I really hope I did it all justice. When I listen to it I can see it all in my head, so I hope y'all can too, and that y'all enjoy it!!

Here's the track I did for the 2.17 - Graduation update, which in my mind plays right before this if it were in the tv show.

More of my thoughts under the cut:

Starting off right at the end of 2.17 (Graduation), where Bitty hugs Jack thinking that's that and they walk away from each other, I really wanted to keep it light and soft. Airy almost. It's such a delicate moment that it feels wrong to imagine it being noisy with music.

When the piano comes in, that's about when Jack finds his family and talks to his Dad about not having said goodbye to everyone. This is still soft because this conversation Jack has with his Dad is a big one. Then, in the comic, when Jack has his oh panel, there are faint music notes in the background, which I've always believed to be church bells from a campus cathedral or something (don't ask me why. If I'm wrong about that don't tell me either, let me be ignorant in peace). That's what you hear at the end of part one, and the music growing louder is Jack realizing what he has to do and running off to do it.

Between the two tracks is when Bitty is alone in Jack's old Haus bedroom at the beginning of 2.18 (Goodbye for the Summer, pt. 1). I figured all you'd hear in this moment is him singing Halo by Beyonce and sniffling.

Then Jack finds him, and the second track starts. Cue the strings, building, then the swell.

Then the climax.

I pulled the same theme from the Graduation track for this moment, bringing it full circle, only it's much more grandiose and epic in a romantic way, because this is what we've been waiting for, what Bitty's been pining for, of course it's big and loud and encompassing. It's like being swept off your feet and flying up, up, up off the ground. I even bring the church bells back in - maybe the window is open and they're still going off, or maybe it's wedding bells going off in Bitty's head, or something.

(Honestly, I just liked the way it sounded haha.)

The rest of the song is when they start to come back down to Earth, when they break apart and Jack's phone starts ringing, and Bitty's in a daze going "Okay, okay" while Jack's promising to text him.

Then Bitty's alone again. But not really.

The reason why AI art is such a negative thing isn't just because it steals the jobs of artists, it goes even deeper than that; it makes it so that potential artists might never pick up a pencil because "the AI can just do it better anyways", depriving the world of good new art Beginner artists who are doing their best get mean comments, they are "cringe" But the true cringe are the people that do not even try, the people that consider art a product, and not a heartfelt and genuine expression from the depths of our souls They will never understand art Creative expression is something that I consider to be one of the most important things in the world, it is beautiful, and it is one of the few genuine respites in this cold and unmerciful world Keep drawing, keep composing, keep writing, their AI's cannot generate YOUR expression, YOUR soul
