Apollo Cabin Headcanons #2

-All of Apollo’s children have a golden ring in the iris’s of their eyes.

-Every morning, they listen to music and each week has a different theme

-Broadway week, Disney week, 80′s week, etc.

-Any one from ANY cabin can get free music lessons

-Sometimes, someone will just sing one note, and then everyone around them harmonizes with them

-The infirmary is hectic because they all have such good accuracy that they THROW MEDICAL SUPPLIES TO EACH OTHER

- someone was almost killed(we don’t like to talk about it)

-They definitely tried to pull of the ‘Getcha Head in the Game” scene from high school musical

- Casually leaving their bows on the floor of the cabin, where anyone can step on it

-The music is never turned down

-Hermes Cabin tried to turn down the music one time, 

-after getting swarmed with arrows they decided it wasn’t worth it

-Playing music 24/7

-Pros at hiding earbuds under clothes so that teachers don’t see them

- attempts to type on the computer in the rhythm of their music

-Ends up with really poor writing

-They all act embarrassed by Apollo when he visits camp

-they secretly like it though(don’t tell him)

 The picture above is my new header image.So, the first one of these headcanons was really popular. I’m trying to do more of them, I like you’re approval. 

So, shout outs because I’m bored and they have liked my stuff more than once.

Can you play an instrument? (Any skill level)

Yes (which one? 👀)

No

Nuance (up to interpretation)

Voting ended onApr 2

I’m just curious how many people at some point in their lives have played/learned to play an instrument of any kind.

I included a nuance button bc I know there might be some folks who might be like “well I played the recorder in grade school but idk if that counts” — count it if you want or hit nuance if you’re unsure! 😊

To be clear, if you studied an instrument to any level of proficiency, even if you’re out of practice now, please select yes!

Reblog with your instrument, if you wish 🙏🏼 Or just for more accurate results

[cyber-punk-rock]

Boosting again! I’ve been enjoying reading everyone’s responses so far, it brings me joy to see music has reached so many lives!! 😊🫶🏼

Someday your hands will be old and wrinkled, the skin spotted and bunching over your knuckles. And a child will watch you make something. It's a simple task, you'll have done it a thousand times before. But to that child, the smooth, confident way your hands move will seem like impossible magic. You have to keep living.

prev these tags have me crying. this is absolutely what it's all about

[pencildragons]

bro i LOVE indigenous fusion music i love it when indigenous people take traditional practices and language and apply them in new cool ways i love the slow decay and decolonisation of the modern music industry

[pencildragons]

I WILL !!! I WILL DO THAT

some of my favourite indigenous artists, in no particular order:

Inuit artists:

the jerry cans (esp their album Inuusiq)

beatrice deer

twin flames

Māori artists:

jordyn with a why

Indigenous australian artists:

tilly tjala thomas (i particularly love ngai yurlku nhiina)

kardajala kirridarra (srlsly check out ngajabu (Grandmother's Song))

i've also heard good things abt Baker Boy, but i haven't checked out his stuff yet

[columbidaae]

Another one for Inuit artists is Piqsiq! Two sisters who’ve been doing traditional throat singing since they were kids. They make some really gorgeous, eerie, atmospheric stuff. Highly recommend watching this video of them performing live a cappella using a looping machine, because they might be the coolest people on the planet actually

(Jo March nearly in tears voice) women,,,,

[aconissa]

For anyone into North Asian and Central Asian folk music, there's this incredible Siberian folk-pop band called Otyken! The group is mostly women and they're from multiple indigenous groups in Siberia, with songs being sung in their range of different languages. They're so much fun and their music videos are amazing!

[alqemizzy]

i'll go ahead and recommend The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red), an EDM group from First Nations Ontario that do really cool fusions of First Nations music with dubstep, moombahton, and hip hop.

[emeraldraccoon478]

I really really really appreciate people who share videos on posts like these, because almost without a doubt every time I love the music but I’ve never got the spoons to click on links and look through a bunch of music or worse google the artist I always end up too overwhelmed to start and I hate that

[morathicain]

Haven't seen Belle Sisoski here yet so here we go: she's the current Artist of Year for BURO impact Awards. She's from Malaysia and knows how to play an insane amount of ethnic instruments and mixes them with her own voice. She does covers and her own songs, mixes ethnic instruments with Techno and shows the process. And she's also a live DJ at 19!

And one of her own:

Oh and of course there's also the HU and Bloodywood for people who like more rock and metal mixed in:

[upthewitchypunx]

1876 is a Pow Wow punk rock band from Portland, Oregon

[chaos-of-nyx]

Jumping back to OP's mention of Baker Boy, because he's phenomenal 🖤💛❤️ He also collaborates with a bunch of other Blak/Aboriginal, Indigenous, and POC artists, so you can find some other quality folks just by looking through his stuff.

Most of his stuff makes you wanna dance, but his tunes are super-diverse.

CW for the voice of a deceased Elder in this one.

These are both from his debut album Gela, but his second album DJANDJAY is out on his 29th birthday next week, and every track I've listened to from it thusfar is a absolute fire 🔥💖🔥

Albums named for his skin name and his late grandma (and a Yolngu spirit guide), respectively.

[the-haiku-bot]

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[somelonelywordmonger]

I love Otyken!!!

[daughterofapollo8]

I was reblogging on the wrong account and instead of telling me you guys just liked and reblogged the posts!

[daughterofapollo8]

did I ever tell y'all about that time when I tried archery for the first time at camp and was weirdly good at it so I was like wow true daughter of Apollo here and then immediately almost killed someone on accident right after that?

did that ever come up?

[delicious-dream-before-the-storm]

Vivaldi played by the South African elementary school Goede Hoop Marimba Band

Turn ON the sound

[jd-kickdrum-deactivated20220908]

AMAZING

[katsdom]

Slow down, turn on the sound and take a couple of minutes to enjoy this!

[hieronymus-bush]

I think Vivaldi would have been tickled by this as he actually wrote so much of his music for an all girl orphanage/school. So to see a group of girls still playing his music hundreds of years later?!?!?! On an instrument he'd never seen?!?!?!

[daughterofapollo8]

am I... reentering my pjo phase because of the show?

[daughterofapollo8]

y'all this is so tragic, I won't have time to sit down and watch the pjo series until January so I have to filter out all the tags so I don't see spoilers

[daughterofapollo8]

Me watching all my mutuals post about the show but I have the tags blocked

There is beauty in sadness

As you will find out sooner or later, when I listen to music it's either the full album track by track, as intended, one of my playlists on shuffle or (definitely not the healthy part) one track on repeat, for however long my brain finds it satisfying. This one? This is magic.

And not some Hogwarts type of magic. This is going through all stages of life. It's all in one track - nostalgia, happiness, loneliness. Even longing for something, but you don't really know what you are longing for. Sometimes makes me tearful, sometimes just prompts thinking about where my life is going. One day it's 7 minutes of blissfulness, but the next day it's 7 minutes trying to remember what was lost.

But you know what? It's soundtrack, right? I loved the movie as a kid, don't get me wrong. But now, this became completely separate. I don't see the prairie or the horses when I listen to this. I see reflections of people coming and going through my life, places I visited, places I want to visit, love I felt and love that's still ahead of me. It's tragic and yet peaceful, serious and yet at times playful. Sounds of life. The life I already had, the life I have, but also the life I could have.

As you listen through this, doesn't it just scream (in this specific order):

I'm happy

I'm going on an adventure

Come on with me, it will be fun!

I'm lost - where are you? We had fun, right?

Nostalgia comes in - because we loved our time together and it was epic!

But now I'm alone and don't know what to do

I remember our time together, and it helps me go forward

Sometimes life is hard, and sad, and all you can do is sit down and cry

And feel sorry, for all of it

But at the end, there was love in that sadness, wasn't there?

So goodbye again, but we will remember the good times

Take those 7 minutes and find out what does it do for you. I promise, this time won't be wasted.

[daughterofapollo8]

I love me some musical analysis.

I was listening to this song literally last night just because I remembered it. Very happy to see people appreciate it as much as I do.

GO OFFF

[babydollbucky]

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.

This person is the real deal. They were clearly classically trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

[lil-tumbles]

But also… RAD PLAYING MY DUDEEEE

Ladies and gentlemen, I present Run With Me Talma, A song about the trail of tears! I hope to reach the hearts of many, so our forefathers will not be forgotten.

Görkem Şen is a Turkish musician who wanted to create the sounds of electronic music acoustically. His invention, the yaybahar, is a string instrument connected to drums via metal coils that creates a wide variety of otherworldly music.

[vinceaddams]

Ooh, spooky, I like it! It sounds kind of like if a whale was a robot.

Why not embed the video though? This guy's got a teeny tiny little channel and this video has fewer than 4k views, and if this post blew up it would be pretty unfair to him, getting lots of watchtime on his work but without the cruel youtube algorithm gods knowing about it so they can recommend it to more people.
