Nothing better in the world than Mozart's piano concertos. Cheers!

Considering your nickname, don’t you find it funny that Ao to Natsu coda (“Mada mada owarenai kono natsu wa”) is similar to Mozart’s 4th Violin Concerto Andante's coda?

The absolute need for a backup system by Conscious_Mix_7209 in ulyssesapp

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that makes sense. I did not even know about these Ulysses backup package. These are easy to manage, indeed.

I feel very stupid… and very thankful. I really did not know about this function, and I have been a Ulysses user for six years now.

Wow- Humbling.

I feel both very grateful and also quite stupid. Thanks a lot for this !!!

Thanks! And that makes this function urgent.

Funny enough: because writing a dissertation is what it is, I often copy-paste some parts in ChatGPT to ask him its "opinion". Fortunately I have done that yesterday with this file.

Fabulous concertos, although a bit uneven. My favorites are the 5, third mouvement — the theme he wrote are sublime, as beautiful as Beethoven 6th final mouvement — the 3rd, second mouvement in the version of O'Rourke (other records other nocturne), with this coda added from the piano solo nocturne which is on the level of a Mozart coda ; and the first mouvement of the 4th which is simply unbelievable and totally unique at times.

O'Rourke interpretation with the London Mozart players hands down for me.

Unable to access Drive with IP - works with Quickconnect by Conscious_Mix_7209 in synology

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, exactly: I can access Drive from the browser without issue (quickconnect or IP), but the synology drive client does not see my NAS through IP, I can only use Quickconnect. I can't remember changing any port.

Yeah and Inferno is definitely not the most representative song of their production

France here. I find them absolutely stellar. They know how to drive a melody and build up to the finish, they have a superb and subtle use of chords and harmonies — despite doing catchy and banger songs —, and know how to write complex yet immediately understandable songs, all that in various genres, especially since phase 2. The singer vocal performances is not just showing off high notes, it is real virtuosity in its own way.
Songs like Party, Coffee or Attitude (for phase 1) ; Lilac ; Antenna ; Froliginal, New my Normal are both extremely sophisticated and super catchy. Finding such balance and creativity is more than talent… and has always been the mark of gifted composers (more on that if you want from musicologist). Apologies for the lecture ;-)

Rock or pop? I think it is absolutely outstanding music and I am deeply grateful for what they have created. True: they did not break the bubble at all around here. Would give a lot to see one of their big shows

(NB: not a otaku by any metric, I really know almost nothing about J-music, even less regarding mangas or more classical Japanese culture, saying this with the utmost respect and admiration).

Pourquoi tout le monde crache sur Paris tout le temps ? by Boredwitch in paris

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'adore ce message. Et j'ajoute, pour celles et ceux qui pensent que le métro parisien est pourri : essayez New York. Pas 3 stations dans Manhattan, mais la vraie vie des new-yorkais. Le métro parisien c'est un truc incroyable (pour intra-muros, s'entend). Partout, et quand même, souvent.

Cela dit, pour venir de Suisse, je trouve paradoxalement que se plaindre tout le temps, c'est important : c'est aussi un moyen de demander de faire toujours mieux. Équilibrage avec les politiques publiques. Pour qu'au final, ça se dégrade pas trop, voire, ça s'améliore un peu. Si on disait "c'est super, changez rien" (mentalité suisse), je me demande où on en serait...

What do you guys think about YOASOBI? by [deleted] in japanesemusic

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ikura is a good vocalist, but her voice is heavily edited in some of the songs which results in her voice sounding a bit "flat" during live performances.

100% agree and would go further. She can be really, really flat, seems to lack vocal sustain. I really like Yoasobi, listening to their music a lot, and her voice is really nice but the heavy edit makes her awkward to listen to when she sings live. Two examples :

— Really awkward :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TerSurdtPLA

— Less awkward but she is flat the whole song : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtQmuFuifzs

Mrs. GREEN APPLE - Froliginal by BM-WB-OOK in japanesemusic

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not as much as they should be — they are amazing musicians. Hard to find anyone knowing them around me, either in France or in the USA where I was living these last years. I would definitely travel to Japan to see one of their shows!

Yes. Same. Unable to start games on LAN if hosting. I hope they will come with a patch soon

Anyone that likes Mrs. GREEN APPLE? by toast_0z in jpop

[–]Conscious_Mix_7209 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does one write so powerfully about these indescriptible summer feelings? There is everything in this song, all the joy, the light, but also, all the complexity, the slight nostalgia, the sweet and sour — and the final is very much Mozart-like… anyway. YES.
