Yan Creates

Hi, I'm Nucleose, or Yan! Whatever you want to call me. This is my more professional blog where I will post music and any other side project that I do or make.

Something I made in about 2 hours overall, it's essentially a vent piece. I love vent pieces!

Another commission, this time for forever-rainbowbird! A metallic kind of feeling track, really heading for this off kilter industrial area. I wasn’t sure about it when I made it, but looking back on it I think this would make a great track for a game.

16 track album

This is an old set of songs, but I've been convinced to set it up on my bandcamp as it will be, in the future, acting both as an outlet for my music and as a public portfolio.

For those that aren't familiar with 18 Days, it's a challenge I set for myself so that I could test how much quality work I could squeeze out of myself in the least amount of time until I burnt myself out. It took the form of a fake JRPG soundtrack, with different songs representing different standard situations you often come across when playing such a type of game.

However, I could only make it to 16 songs, with the last few songs having staggered output in terms of times during which I set aside a day to make music. I may remedy this soon though, since I now feel a much greater personal pressure to complete this by my internal desire to achieve.

The fifth commission in my series of commissions to pay for my trip to see Yoko Kanno at Otakon! This ones taking a bit of a Drum and Bass feel for a running playlist! Needless to say, but I recommend you listen.

My fourth commission for my field trip, for Eston, or siasinsilence. I'm very proud of this one, it took the turn of RPG battle theme for some strange reason but I don't think that's a bad thing!

Oh right, Nucleose and I made a thing. It’s for round 1 of konec0’s Slam Jam: MSPA Forums Music-Off Knockout-style Tournament Extravaganza Extraordinaire etc. and we call it Springer Valley Ranger.

I promise I’m still making things, but most of those things are either album-related (which I will post previews of eventually) or scores for animations which I can’t post until the animations have been released.

Collaboration with Eston/siasinsilence for a competition! I hope you all enjoy cowboys and synths.

Superego Commentary

Boy do I love this song. The situation I made was pretty much the opposite of the one for Bronze Rebel. I felt pretty good about Bronze Rebel, and I had a feeling I was only going to get one track on anyway I didn't have high hopes for this one. In fact this one was the "let's make something I don't think others will like as much" song. And it might be true, I can't really tell!

I had to fight myself to get this song done, since I wasn't feeling good and I still wanted to put out something quality. I had really wanted to make something for Vriska, but I didn't have great sounds to do it, but Solatrus convinced me to try a hand at it anyway, to see if I could do something different with Vriska. Unfortunately, what I had in mind still ended up being like what a lot of people already ended up having as "Vriska" ingrained in their mind from previous official homestuck music. I was a little disappointed about that, but after having spent days staring at the ceiling trying to figure out what I should do, I realized I just needed to make something. 

The drums were the first thing I had in my mind that I knew I needed to make a certain way, and the way I made the guitar do 9th intervals was initially an accident that worked out for the best. I'm also pretty happy with this one, I only wish I had better samples or actual guitar instead of the weird twangy and low impact stuff I currently do.

Bronze Rebel Commentary

This track is one I sure as hell put a ton of effort into, as it was my big chance to finally do something with my music. I was at a pretty good time of my life and I was able to work on this thing day in and day out, and so I did, but first I put a lot of though into what I wanted to actually do. I'm a bit of a contrarian when it comes to making music, always trying to figure out what everyone else does so that I could do something different, and so I wanted to make a theme for Tavros that looked at his character from a more serious perspective about what he was and what he wanted to do. It's original title, "If I were like Rufio," reflected the melancholy desire to be something or be in a world where he was great, where he was a hero but in reality he couldn't really amount to much, and it was his own fault.

For the style of the song I ended up falling back on one of my main styles, which I called "orchestral cinematic/game with a hint of latin rhythms and harmonies." I don't really know what it might actually be called. Unfortunately, while this made the song accomplish what I wanted it to, it can be a bit hard to listen to at times, for being too dependent on situation and scenery.

However I'm very proud of it! I got to practice a lot of new and old things and combine them into what's currently my longest song! Well, longest I'm not ashamed of. It ended up being allocated to the Summoner, and I had a feeling it would. I'd say close enough, but it feels a bit weird to say that! I wouldn't change much about it, but I think it's a bit bland, and I've learned a lot from that.
