/tunes/ - enjoyable sounds

Hello 38chan,

I was going to wait less than 8,000 years to post this but I kept feeling too demotivated to do anything. The last album I posted was of 猫祭り姫, so it makes sense that next is 幼虫社 (YohChuSha, "larva house".) They are a duo of producer/composer 井蛹机/Tsukue and singer/keyboardist ヂヂ/dgidgi. Tsukue helped to produce many of Nekomatsurihime's music (but I think most or all songs on the last post here are produced by her) and has a similar range of influences and very post-punk tinged style of pop music. Also like Nekomatsurhime, it has a distinctive early DTM feel I find endearing (although I think it's all rompler-produced.)

In this case it is particularly easy to tell who the influences are because the producer had a last.fm account https://www.last.fm/user/tsukue

YohChuSha's first album is a collection of demo recordings from 92 to 98. For the first 3 or 4 years, Tsukue was the only real member, with whichever friend or classmate he could perform live with but never being in the group for long. Some recordings are Dgidgi's vocals over these older compositions, and some are newer ones she helped compose herself. The album was released on cassette, but all of these mp3s are free downloads from their website. It's the earliest instance I know of a band uploading their (physically released) album for free online. Very dreamy and borderlines ambient music at times

Their second and only "real" album came out in 2001. Only one demo song made it onto here, with the album having a more dramatic overall style while still being heavy on atmosphere

Hello world2ch,

I have learned to stop rambling. Here's some quirky 90s Japanese avant-pop by experimental/punk guys (mainly Lion Merry, who was also in Yapoos.) It is mostly upbeat, with some ironic and ill-fitting lyrics at times, and very purposefully corny sounds at times.

There is also a VHS with different recordings and live versions of 6 songs. They are here officially: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsPOaTYmN7xshTpXx6X8c8gd-sbBlLqzq

Here are the albums "What Do You Think You Think ?" by Crack Und Ultra Eczema(Noise Rock, Post-Punk) and "Zwei" by Heimat(Art Pop, Post-Punk).

I bought these CDs when I saw Heimat live in a small Bunker in my Hometown. The Singer on both albums is Armelle Oberle who i had a little chat with when i bought the albums. She was really nice and concert was great.

This is some very interesting stuff, I particularly enjoy it.

Listened to the album and I really liked it sushi!

I'm not much into pop, but this specific release is very casual and fun to listen to

>skill level
Personally I think it's about how much you're physically capable of combined with how much a mind you have to learn/make musical choices.
If you haven't heard this type of advice already, practice the piece at as slow a tempo as you can stand, and if you can, try and memorize the melody to the point of being able to hum phrases from it accurately with all the little fills and such.
>scales
It's jazz, so perhaps the melody is better analyzed by how it relates to the comp chords.

A thing I made

Ahh, didn't practice for a month or so and my fingers are back to normal!

>>1548
i think your voice really suits that style of song! i wonder if you’re still making music this many years later..

>>1884
my favorite from mikgazer vol 1 was parachute, the chords are really out of this world !
I've almost the same favorites as you
1: Loveless
2: Mikgazer vol 1
3 Velocity : Design : Comfort (not pure shoegaze but who cares)

time is passing too quickly for me, i can't keep up.

Not sure if this counts as "shoegaze" per say, but it's a definite dream pop vibe going on. Just a beautiful, dense, and atmospheric track for what is essentially reverb, acoustic strumming, and delay effects/reversed voice clips making an incredibly intimate and passionate performance.
In short, a really good song with simple composition turned ethereal through the magic of production tricks. Which is kind of the basis/ground zero of shoegaze, is it not?

For me it's Aqua's first album, it's odd but it's filled with a lot of energy

mine is bay city or Japanese pop music in general I'm usually a rock and metal kinda guy but Japanese music really strikes a nerve

Astoundingly, less cheesy than usual from him.

I don't really listen to pop but I enjoyed some lady gaga songs.

I think RYM's chart & search functions are the best tools available of this.

I get my music off Bandcamp, soundcloud, sometimes downloading off of youtube. For listening, I use foobar2000 on phone, and the default media player on Android (if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate them)

Run a Navidrome server (allows for your own music streaming platform) from a remote server and sync all my music from my home server upto there. MPD on my desktop directly from that same home server.

I also maintain a Spotify sub for social/lazy situations where none descript background music is needed. I'm desperate to move from it since it started auto-enabling their retarded playlist shuffle feature where it randomly inserts shit with out me asking it to. Extra risky now they have AI generated music they're not labeling as such to fuck artists out of money. But a lot of artists just don't use other platforms like Tidal.

Getting music, Soulseek, Redacted private tracker and actually supporting people I like by buying their stuff.

Device wise, a few more than I can list. Main ones are LCD-X for home with some minor EQing and 7hz Timeless for out and about ATM. Any one looking for max value should look at the Truthear x Crinacle Zero:BLUE2. Man, £50 for something that sounds that naturally "good" is awesome; highly recommend for anyone.

Oh, and I use Picard and the Musicbrainz DB for properly tagging all my music, forgot and I was just using it lol.

I listen to mp3 on the local disk

I assume you meant to direct your response to the post above you, being me. Yeah it's just a strange layout slowing me down. It would help if I understood why the positions of each tongue note are where they are. Nice banjo playing. Banjos are pretty cool

arhg. I've found that my technique is very poor after going back and reviewing fundamentals. It's like starting over from scratch.

Being self taught is painful. I see that other folks that play my instrument, and they're so talented. I don't think I'll ever reach anywhere near their level of skill :(

i have been really putting in hours into my musicianship. with my meek personality making cool songs is the only way i can move people

Funny this thread being at the top of the board right now, I'm almost finished with the last track of video related. Fripp and Eno have put out some great stuff together.
