Cruising on a Cruise

Posted by LucidShadowDreamer - January 31st, 2015

Yay!

Tomorrow I'm going on a cruise just for fun! :D

Well, also there's the fact that it costs but 3€... Seriously. And it's not a small boat or anything...

It's just 24 hours on the boat, but it'll still be a blast! (Remember, you won't be able to reach me in like two days or so, not that I would know why anyone would be in a hurry to talk to me...)

In other news, I haven't been doing nor making much at all lately o.O If you want to read more about me not doing anything, but planning to do stuff, this is the place to go.

Well, I have done one thing! I uploaded yet another older piano composition of mine, and I believe this one to be really good!

Anyhow. I didn't really have anything to say. I just thought I'd update this thingy :p

Woah, how did I miss this?! Oh yeah: news posts don't show up in my feed anymore. XD Hope you enjoyed your cruise. Where did you go?

Yeah, I liked it better when the news posts showed up automatically, as I usually forget to chech them manually.
I certainly enjoyed the cruise, we had a great time!!!
It was just a 24 hour cruise to Sweden and back ;)
(Although, we drove down to Åbo, as there's no port in Vasa anymore, and upon arrival back to Finland, we frove back, which together is more than 10+ hours of driving :p)

I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise! About "Abrakazam," btw, I can definitely understand how you based certain sections of the piece off of others. I just think that the casual listener would never pick up on all these things, as I didn't the first time. XD I think repetition can help tie things together for the listener a bit, you know? It can be quite unpleasant to listen to something that's confusing (although your music is still fantastic, Ale!). I'm not sure how familiar you are with William Faulkner...but I think his writing style and your composing style compliment each other well. :)

Thanks! I plan on sharing a few pictures and such from the cruise in due time, probably on my blog (in case anyone is interested...)
Yes, I was certain you'd understand that, I just wanted to point out the specific places :p
I am also well aware that casual listeners won't consciously pick up on those things, which is also part of the point XD I love including thigs that aren't as easy to notice, despite the fact that they add a lot to the piece, and all those things are snapped up subconsciously, to some extent at the very least, which I find intriguing. That said, I often see people noticing things I didn't think they would, especially when the things are very abstract o.O Phonometrologist, for instance, basically read my mind while reviewing "Medley of a Shattered Mind", simply by listening to it, and caught pretty much what I was thinking while composing the different parts! Happenings like that always make me happy, as I feel that people can experience a piece I've made in pretty much the same way as I myself do.
That said, I always love your interpretations, as you paint cool new imagery in my mind, which make sense while listening to the piece. That way, it's almost like listening to a new piece!!

I agree that repetition helps tie things togehter, and as I said, it can be a great tool! I just tend not to use it as often, perhaps because I feel it is overused in many main stream songs :/

Me being familiar with William Faulkner is limited to me knowing of his name, but not much more. Maybe I should read some of his work at some point!

3€ cruise? I hope you don't mind your body being dismantled and sold for spare parts. The black market thanks you.

Seriously, though, I hope you enjoyed it. :D

Hahha, yeah thanks. It was great XD And my kidneys are still intact as well :p

I should really update this post though...
