Music to listen to while playing multiplayer shooters? Preferably not rap/hip-hop
i really dont see point in that, it would just make hearing footsteps harder
jungle/drum and bass are the only things i listen to when playing shooters
although i only really ever play tribes ascend and quake live

Don't, music will distract you
Composers and producers of /mu/, what is the creative process like for you?
Do you construct a song in its entirety in your heads before ever jotting it down, or do you go directly to a DAW/instrument and compose the song as you physically play it?
For those who prefer to visualize parts of the song completely before touching a pen, instrument or computer, are you always able to produce the sound exactly as you heard it in your mind? If so, how long did it take you take such kickass powers of magical wizardry? What kind of training did you do?

I start with an idea, maybe something of a riff, and an idea of dynamics. It doesn't take long until I'm playing it and trying to feel the rhythm. It's not really difficult, but it's just been practice and learning how to "sing" the notes. Once you manage to pull off songs by ear it gets easier. Still arduous, but easier since you know what you're doing.
Once I have the basics laid out, I generally try to achieve a certain tone, which isn't as easy. My compositions tend to be minimalistic in nature - percussion, bassline, some sort of harmony, something for the lead and maybe counterpoint - so to achieve different sounds I have to go after a certain tone. That's definitely an issue. I don't tend to sample a lot, as well, and my samples are more ambient than after sounds.
I think the main thing is that I generally listen to an album to give me inspiration. Sometimes it strikes up halfway through, at the beginning, at the end. It's just an useful way of coming up with ideas.

Thanks for sharing. Seems way more organic than I imagined it would be.
>pull off songs by ear
How long did it take you to be able to do this? How did you achieve it?

Fuck, that's a tough question... I'm classically trained as a pianist, though my main instrument is the bass (jazz/rock base on that one). Really, it was a matter of listening to a song over and over until I could figure out the notes, the rhythm, that sort of stuff. Took about a year to two tears, I think, to properly pull that off, and it's still sort of a long-winded process. That said, I can safely say I can now turn what I hum into an actual line of music, and that's been really useful since I write down everything I come up with. I end up scrapping like 99% of what I do.
what does /mu/ think about brostep?

It's fascinating how short of a music fad it was. It's also relieving how short it was (especially compared to trap).
Recently watched Eva and have been listening to the EoE soundtrack too much recently. What are similar albums/bands to Komm Susser Tod?
Thats a good question..
Maybe some chamber pop

Why the fuck does /mu/ like A Day in the Life? It's such granny shit.
Pic unrelated btw
The song is mostly Lennon's... that's why it sucks. Don't fuck with my man Paul

>Old-timey is inherently bad
Fuck your electronic shit.

It's five minutes long, how is that relatively short?
Christgau is the only person who /mu/ talks about who can be considered a proper critic.

ITT: Songs you know that are terrible but still enjoy anyway

how is that song terrible?
This song is objectively brilliant. Orange Juice are one of the best bands to come out of the UK in 80s and Edwyn Collins had some pretty awesome solo stuff to boot.
You should take the lyrics of this song as advice opon this opinion

>>74817695
I'm actually angry that you'd think of any level that this is terrible
Edwyn Collins does sound just like Stewie Griffin though
What's some good chill, not very busy music to listen to during class?

Thoughts? Snagged her opheliac from a sharethread some odd years back. Anything else to compare?
That album was my intro to Emilie.
Of her body of work, my favorites would be her collection of "sonnets" which are simply poems in ASMR, and the acoustic half of Laced/Unlaced.
She is a beautiful and talented person. And quite the Euro-history buff, evidently. She's rarely mentioned on mew. Here have a song.

In answer to your second question: The Birthday Massacre, Alice in Videoland, and the Dresden Dolls come close in aesthetic, if not in narrative. That's a generalized statement, none of us are as young as we were.
It would depend on what aspect of her music you're partial to. What did you think of Opheliac? And what about now, some odd years later as you said.
