hey remember this?

it's been 1 bajillion years in social media time according to my last post... I actually did a whole lot more than this and it actually sounds quite decent, which is rare. Take a listen...

It's been like 2 bajillion years in social media time since I posted? Let's fix that

A friend of mine recommended I listen to a Will Wood song... I don't know who he is but the intro to this song had me absolutely enamored so I spent 2 hours transcribing it

We should remove noll from the game

Been a while, so here's kokorz fun fact #2

Did you know? at the very start of "Got to keep it real", Akira Kushida, the announcer voice, is actually saying "Gyatt"?

The benefits of studying how two different songs crafted their piano parts have finally come to light... lovely

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Aug 1

man composes most generic melody ever (AGAIN), is asked to leave premises

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

i also really, really, really wish archival of stuff was better for rozen maiden

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

or you know what maybe not because modern day anime fans and their tendency to turn everything into a sports match would probably make a new rozen maiden fandom insufferable

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

All in all, as much as I love Rozen Maiden... it's a little surprising considering how iconic Shinku and Suigintou are in the east... I really wish the series banged so that we could have gotten what followed from Rozen Maiden Rewind... or just a redo of the anime entirely

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

you could only understand it by reading the manga and all of the impactful moments were delivered so flatly

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

and making Rozen revive all the dolls like that and essentially saying they don't have to die to complete the alice game is... ????

So then they started from scratch with Rozen Maiden Rewind... and it was very poorly paced...

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

And then Traumend happened, which was buns writing wise, and it's like Kakegurui XX or FMA, where if they wanted to continue, they would have to start from scratch because the kirakishou reveal truly was just sequel bait

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

As much as I like NOMAD's Rozen Maiden adaptation... it really isnt a good adaptation of the original manga... Souseiseki going through a different arc was interesting but man did they turn Suiguinto into a Saturday Morning Cartoon version of Aizen... and she DIED for it

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 27

I have also started watching rozen maiden again, and man, what is Young Jun's problem... poor Hina

this keeps frying me every time i see it

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 26

I have started reading rozen maiden again and this fantranslation is interesting

Shinku would NOT say fucktard, this is Vivziepop Rozen Maiden

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 25

Damn wtf REAPER saves you from getting your ears blasted? That is the first time i have ever seen a daw preemptively mute a channel if it got too loud for safety reasons

Cakewalk would have popped my eardrums 30x over

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 24

Unrelated, it should also be noted that ALI PROJECT is not to be confused with OSTER Project... I said i'd study her music, but the intro of Nijiro Stories alone has so much going on that it is difficult for someone new to get a complete read on what is going on... her compositions are too strong 😔

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 24

I also really really love the chords that are hit in the 3/4 section. They feel extremely powerful and regal, which i mean is fitting considering the song context, but... the movement in the string part especially is what sells it especially.

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 24

It's interesting how in the one for Traumend they somewhat broke it with those phrases at the end of the chorus, they add one lil section that changes the time signature to 3/4 for 3 bars in the second chorus. it happens again and is repeaded a second time in the final chorus too.

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 24

as seen in my last post, i was analyzing ALI PROJECT's opening themes for specifically the Rozen Maiden anime... and it's interesting how despite them all following the same song structure almost down to a T, they all still sound completely different everywhere else (except insturmentation mostly)

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 23

Ah, I figured out why strings are hard

(Not my composition but I transcribed it)

Kokorz★ @kokorz.bsky.social · Jul 21

Why are strings and brass so difficult and annoying 😞

SynthV adds enough vibratos on each note to cause an earthquake
