My collection so far

Still need to get the studio version of Synthesis on CD, and the vinyl and deluxe CD of Sanctuary

[allisonmourning]

Just noticed today was June 6th. Can't believe it's been 20 years since the Falador Massacre. Anyway, half my my music taste is based on the song some guy put over a screen recording of a video game glitch lol

It just came out that EZFG passed from appendiceal cancer April 7th this year. He'd been talking about being sick for some weeks now and his father made an official announcement on both Twitter and Bluesky. Thank you for your music and everything you contributed to the community <3, I hope you can rest easy now.

My family is going through a lot rn. I have 2 releases that I want to get out this year, but it feels like I'm trying to run a marathon in quicksand.

Okay, I've had a sec to process things and sleep. I'm not used to sharing stuff about my personal life, but because this might have an affect on whether or not I can release music in the near future, I think it's important.

My dad had a stroke 10 years ago. 2 years ago, some of his behaviors/decisions were extremely alarming to my mom, my bf, and me. To put it simply: he was doing things that were not normal for a person with healthy adult cognitive functions.

My family was concerned that my dad might have dementia. I was between jobs at the time, and decided to quit looking for a new one so he wasn't left home alone during the day.

Lately, his cognitive problems have gotten worse. We had to take him to the ER about 2 months ago. He was dismissed under the assumption that he'd improperly taken his meds. For about a week, he was confused, disoriented, having difficulty walking, etc. These problems got significantly worse at night, so we were under the impression that he was beginning to sundown.

About a month ago, out of nowhere, he started having the same problems one night. It only lasted one night, and he went back to normal the next day.

We finally got him to the doctor yesterday, and he passed the dementia test. The doctor thinks he's been in cognitive decline since his stroke. Which is leaving my family stressed and confused over why he appears to be sundowning, and how we're supposed to properly care for him.

At the visit yesterday, the doctor was more concerned with the results of his blood test, which indicated a possible late stage cancer. I have a reason to not panic over this just yet, but he is going in for additional examinations early next week.

I'm trying to continue being a voca-p despite everything that's going on. New releases have been slow because I'm trying to balance housework, being an unpaid caregiver, being an available partner for my SO, and the mountain of work that comes with being a small voca-p with social anxiety.

I have 2 releases planned for this year. They're both on a deadline, so if I don't finish them on time, they'll have to be put off until next year. If it does turn out that my dad has cancer, however, I'll probably go on another indefinite hiatus.

Going through my backlog means finding old half-finished songs I've forgotten about. This was a Finale file that must've been forgotten when I started working on my 2024 Halloween song (N005) and then had to scramble after MakeMusic announced they were pulling the plug on Finale.

I converted the .musx to .xml, imported it into Dorico, and then added the vocal line to SV2 so Mai could sing it.

Something about this song is very nostalgic. It reminds me of Colors and Sirens Sing. At the time, I think I was re-learning how to write music after a 4+ year hiatus. There's also a certain...Finale-ness about it.

The way I write music has changed a lot since switching to Dorico in late 2024. This mostly comes down to software limitations, since Finale couldn't run VSTi like Vocaloid and Synthesizer V, nor did it allow importing drum patterns (at least in a way that fit my workflow). Prior to switching to Dorico, the vocals and drums were always a disconnected part of the process.

Antidote is so far removed from my current workflow that I just don't think it'll ever be finished.

Vocals: Mai

In the darkest of storms, You turn my grey skies blue. Life with you is an eternal June.

You somehow make it all Just seem so effortless; The way that you conjure light, Even in the darkest of eternal nights.

I've never known what it's like To be such a lucky girl. I must've somehow accrued A wealth of karma 'Cause I have Never known such sunny days. So sometime, I wonder how You haven't blinded me With all of this light.

I've had this one in the backlog for over a year, back before SV2 even came out 😅 I think I stopped working on it to focus on Corpse Bell, and then I just never got back to it? It only took a couple hours to finish this morning, so I'm kind of kicking myself for putting it off so long.

Anyway, the second part of the bridge feels kind of empty. I'm thinking about maybe putting in a choir part, but after Town Square...I kind of don't wanna write any choir parts for a while...

Grace is her name, Roses in her hair. My Lady, young and fair, If you dance with me, You must die with me.

Her smile - Mesmerizing. And her voice - Iridescent. Oh…

She stands next to her prince, Cold and cruel. If you dance with him, Know that you must die with him.

Sun upon her gown, Roses 'round her crown. My Lady, are you sure That your crown is worth This last dance with me?

Murmurs from All the duchy - Affection, adoration For my duchess.

She stands next to her prince, Cold and cruel. If you dance with him, Know that you must die with him.

The duke won't like what he sees, And your mother will faint. History will erase you, But you'll be the most prized jewel In my crown of blasphemy.

The duchy will weep. Roses are my worth. For twenty short minutes, I'll love her without Regard for legacy.

Her smile - Freezing and cruel. And her voice - Sounds just like him. Oh...

She stands next to her prince, Cold and cruel. If you dance with him, Know that you must die with him.

Catoptric Tristesse

n. The sadness that you’ll never really know what other people think of you, whether good, bad, or if at all—that although you can gather a few hints here and there, and even ask around for honest feedback, you’ll always have to wonder which opinions are being softened out of flattery, sharpened out of malice, or held back because it’s simply not their place.

My Lady, If you can see these flames From your lofty balcony, Come and rescue me.

Burn the witch. Burn the witch.

Here lies The blacksmith's daughter.

Once my dear friend, Now she's dead and charred - Have you nothing to say? Or are you afraid Of the little witch rising From her grave?

"But the young prince And the young princess -" Well, do you always trust In the verity of the Words spoken in a Child's game?

My Lady, Where are you? Your father's men - They're coming down the hills, Circling the meadow Where you said you'd Wait for me.

To burn the blacksmith's daughter For a rumor - What a tragedy. All of those accusations against this girl - Best if we keep all those rumors To ourselves.

Yes, my Lady, I'll keep your secret. And no, I'm not scared of you - Not when you're the one Who said you'd be by my side forever.

Even if all the world forsakes you, I'll still be your one true friend; Forever loyal Until we reach the end of our lives.

My dear friend, I beg of your forgiveness. What I must do Is the work of a villain. But I'll send for you Once I end all The suffering.

To burn a young girl so innocent All for nothing - What a tragedy. All of these accusations against us - Best not point all of your fingers When the cost is death.

Haven't you heard? Oh, the duke's daughter Is a witch.

Haven't you heard? The blacksmith's daughter Is a witch.

Oh, my Lady, How could I be such a fool? Was I just your little lamb, Your sacrifice To be splayed out on The altar of your witchcraft?

The blood of the blacksmith's little girl Is on our hands. What a tragedy. All of those accusations that we had made Were the nails we hammered into Her coffin.

Videos can't be shared in a reblog for some reason, but here's Miku V6 on the same section of the first song I shared in this post. I'm working hard on getting this MikuTeto song done, but I've been a bit high strung the last few days, so I think I need to take it easy for a bit. It's probably gonna take a bit longer to finish than I would've liked |･x･`)
