i finished most of this a while ago, but while i was in france i added those yelling vocals towareds that end. I recorded 33 layers of cleans, and lydian brambila (https://lybram.bandcamp.com/) recorded...

Trhä - trú◊a ∫anilahaΩaj

Sunday, March 3, 2024 at 10:52 PM

also a song i recorded the vocals for at Midoran's house. i wrote the lyrics while i was in france on my notebook (as well as a few other songs which i did record vocals for while on the trip). the title means "∫anila's crown". i'll post an english translation in the comments in about half an hour

Trhä - den cetna ya fënha Tóvar’haΩaj ë∫ qamëdjeni§

according to the file it says this project was created Tuesday, September 5, 2023 at 2:34 AM, which is when i made one of the dozen (or so) sounds that happens during the intro. i remember creating the rest of the song earlier this year (around march) . in reality this year was very very unproductive for me up until somewhere in the middle of june when suddenly i started making 20 new Trhä son...

blue / sunset girl (transitional ambience)

i may repurpose this for a Nänmëë track *i've been wanting to make new nanmee for a while now). i made this when iwas very surprised and lucky to discover a GRAND PIANO at the air bnb i was staying for the last week in may. most of the sounds here were created with that

in the distant travels / blue (transitional ambience)

for the concert (and any future concerts) i'll have transitional sounds connecting every song to eachother. this is what i had programmed for this last concert between "in the distant travels" and "blue". not only is this for an interesting seamless dynamic between the songs, but it also gives us plenty of time to tune up and prepare for the next song. if you were wondering why i was so far bac...

blue ( live arrangement) [guitar 1]

the clean middle section was the hardest thing (for me) to perform during the entire set. i would practiec it really hard just to make sure i wouldn't mess it up, but in the end my cables got undone anyway! in the performance there's just silence because my guitar cut out and since nothing else is happening for this section it was just empty silence. in the end i didnt even end up playing this ...

in the distant travels, guitar # 1 demo (live arrangement)

this song was a disaster when we performed it because my cables got disconnected somewhere in my pedal chain, it wasnt until the next song that i was able to fix it, so my guitar was just lost during this song, it was hugely annoying. anyway this is what you were SUPPOSED to hear (coming from me). for the set there were 3 guitars. guitars 2 and 3 are fully tabbed out for the other guitarists to...

haΩaj lesson 2 - pronouns (aΩde)

we now begin to look into basic haΩaj grammar, this first word category being the pronouns (aΩde). haΩaj has 2 pluralities (singular + plural) and 3 perspectives [+plus a 4th separate perspective] and these 2 pluralities and these 3 perspectives multiply to create a table  for the pronouns, at least in principle, because of some irregularities. in the first perspective (or first...

haΩaj lesson 1: writing and pronounciation (and other updates...)

it feels like it has been way too long since i have given you guys an update on here. for the last several months i have been simlutaneously unproductive + sometimes making new things (sadness and trhä) + overwhelmed with responsibilities (such as preparing the sadness show) and often too paralyzed to work on anything. you will be happy to know though that there IS a new sadness album in the w...

sadness live?

you might have seen a flyer for a sadness show in chicago, this is a real thing. musicians in the other bands playing that night have offered their help in performing the songs as a live band with me and we will be dedicating the next few months to rehearsing the set and giving the best possible show. im extremely nervous . there's something missing though, and that would be vocals. my goal is ...

more comforting songs as requested by karen that i talk about

there's nothing on my face, ruin everything, and i hate you

(for context read my previous post about "i'm a failure) because all of the comforting songs are about the same thing, my extreme attachment to M, who was my favorite person at the time and my hyperfixation and my emotional obsession and every corner of my mind from late october 2018 until i dont even know when , it lasted a rea...
