Watched a Royal College of Music's Marriage of Figaro production with some friends and we had an in-depth literary analysis discussion that led me to create cherubino_fucking_dies.mp4
Helloooo! You can call me Mod Wurli (he/him she/her). Some may remember me from @bestsynthtourney. And I'm back for another tournament!
This one is set to decide what the best outfit worn by a musician/band is. I'm only accepting google form submissions (link: https://forms.gle/K44Au6oGkc95Cceo6 ) since it's easier to manage/standardise. :-)
Submissions will be open until at least August 5th, and will close after that when I think there are enough. My goal is at least 80 submissions.
When submitting, please follow the rules and guidelines below. If there are any questions/suggestions, please don't hesitate to ask!
Solo musicians, individual band members, and bands as a whole are allowed.
You are allowed to submit the same act multiple times if they are wearing a different outfit.
If you are submitting an individual in a band (e.g. submitting JUST Paul McCartney in a picture with the Beatles, or Beatles-era Paul McCartney on his own), you must name both the individual and the band name. Please also specify which person you are submitting (e.g. "2nd from the left")
The focus is on the clothes and accessories they are wearing, and not their physical appearance/personality etc...
It must be clear that the act is dressed up for their stage gimmick, and not just in casual/everyday clothes. Submissions will be counted if the stage gimmick is casual clothes (e.g. Weezer)
There's no date limit for this, but the pictures do have to be photographs. So, while you could submit a photo of Ella Fitzgerald, you could not submit a painting, illustration, or portrait of her. Thus, AI pictures are not allowed.
Sources of photos include (but are not limited to): screenshots from filmed live shows, professional and amateur live photography, screenshots from interviews/other filmed events, professional and amateur photoshoots, etc...
in a modern au Pierre is at Anna Pavlovna’s salon talking about the ways AI is going to revolutionize the world until Andrei comes to bail him out. then he goes home and asks ChatGPT a bunch of existential questions like “Am I a Good Person?” and the model’s sycophancy annoys him so much that the next time we see him he’s either a Zizian or an eco-terrorist
ouh hi blog. i got to talk to someone 2day about opera and classic lit. i asked him what his fav opera was he said "don giovanni" and i was already hrrrmmmmm about it. then we got onto books and i said my fav was tbk and he said he'd read it recently ... so i started talking and he said "remind me who grushenka was again" MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!
Have YOU ever wanted to find out what tumblr's favourite synthesizer is?????????? Probably not, but I did!!!!!!
Submissions will probably close on 28th February, 23:59 UTC+0. This might be later, depending on circumstances. The tourney itself will probably start at the end of March.
Please do not make submissions through the ask box. Use the submission form instead! (link: https://forms.gle/sLb9SZUSJonZwqvZ6)
Submit synths based off of their aesthetics and design, rather than their sound. Simply because... well, it's difficult to judge the sound of a synthesizer!
I'm planning to have a thorough tagging system in place when it starts--- if you have any suggestions for how this could work, let me know!!
Extra info below cut!
You can call me Mod Wurli (after the Wurlitzer keyboard. They are technically Not Synths [except maybe the Orbit iii???] but I do love them dearly regardless.) and my pronouns are he/her.
The synths in the banner/profile picture are the Prophet-5 and the Jupiter-8!!!
oh yes i made this post because i had just been to see a lovely adaptation where it was set in 1950s coney island... i am usually not a big fan of modern (if you can call the 1950s modern...) adaptations but i thought that this one fit the plot quite well 👍👍
