Gemfire fun stuff

WARNING: Long, image-heavy post.

Based on this GameFAQs post, which describes what happens if you wait for everyone to die of old age. As the post suggested, I did this particular set with Anise of Tate.

As a side note, you’ll notice that in the first three screenshots, the Tate family is the only remaining contender for the crown, but the game isn’t over. It doesn’t end until you control all thirty provinces. So, let’s see what happens if you do that...

And so, having reunited Gemfire, Anise ascended to the Ishmerian throne. Her first act as queen was to legalize same-sex marriage so that she could marry her beloved Robyn, and they lived happily ever after.

DAY 1184) Super Royal Blood - Tactics 4

Composer: Masumi Itou

This track’s super weird steve reich-esque minimalism and a bit of a challenge to describe/grasp.

The “actual sheet music” way of writing this out would probably be:

(0:00 - 0:21) 15 bars of 4/4

(0:21 - 0:31) 4 bars of 7/4

(0:31 - 1:15) 30 bars of 4/4

(1:15 - 1:33) 10 bars of 5/4

(1:33 - 1:37) 2 bars of 6/4

[loop]

However if you’re listening it should be pretty obvious that the “4/4″ parts are pretty much the most rhythmically complex parts of the track. The bass layer may be in 4/4 (which is why I wrote it this way above, it’s the most consistent/easiest way for someone to read it) but the that higher synth layer is doing mixed meter (alternating between 7/8 and 6/8 in an unpredictable way) on top of the 4/4.

That mixed meter layer is going: 7+6+6+6+7 + 7+6+6+6+7 + 6+7+6+6+6+6 + 7+7+5 (all /8) during all the of the 15 bar chunks of 4/4 (from :00-:21 / :31 - :53 / :53 - 1:15).

Although 7+6+6+6+7 as a grouping adds up to 32, there’s not any clear indication that that’s the start/end of a phrase in that layer, I just put spaces there so it’s easier to count out. After 2 goes of that it keeps going to more random feeling groupings of 6 and 7 that don’t nicely line up with anything at all.

At the 5/4 part that sound continues but it’s actually lined up with the more typical 5/4 pattern everything else is doing there.
