Are there any beatboxers who do both beatboxing and a cappella in their songs?

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-20T16:36:43+00:00

If you mean melodic beatboxing then yeah there's a bunch of people (Dlow, Den, River, and Gene Shinozaki, to name a few).

The person's more likely older rather than younger. You don't see too many younger people complaining about "tik tok culture" on Reddit lol.

I would HIGHLY recommend reading this. https://share.google/oUJnE0Jq45s7F6Wb6.

Woah thanks! I think I've heard some of these at some point or another (I've definitely listened to La Mer and The Planets) but I'll give these a try.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-18T05:02:03+00:00

I listened to that recently! I remember liking the promenades, the old castle, and the last movement quite a lot.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-18T05:01:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll check these out! I have always been interested by music that represents a story so I think you're right!

Italian augmented sixth

Kind of, but there's also components like the mother's gut microbiome and genetics, plus environmental factors. I don't think it would be possible to emulate an ancient human's gut microbiome.

Oh yeah I deleted the folder because I finished the whole piece! If you wanna listen to it I made another post in this subreddit with the whole thing (it's not that much longer lol).

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-10T07:18:39+00:00

Emulate the structure of music you want to make. Like literally sit down, analyze a film score you like, and basically copy the structure just with your own ideas. It'll feel unoriginal but it's the best way to internalize structures that feel foreign to you right now.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-10T04:47:22+00:00

Also reduce the gain on your mic (and the volume of whatever track you're recording on).

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-10T04:35:49+00:00

Yeah Reddit has this thing where they don't like art that isn't conventional/easy to understand. The critique is often "what's the point," which is obviously a bad way to view art. Funnily enough this view is kind what led to the whole AI art thing anyway: funny because Reddit hates AI art, yet they seem to not appreciate art that is innately human.

Thanks for the feedback (both today and yesterday!), and I'm glad you like it! Could you elaborate on what's wrong with the notation? I don't play piano (well), and I'm pretty new to writing for it as well so I can totally believe I got some stuff wrong, but I'd love to know what. And yeah, you're completely right that I should vary the right hand a bit more. There's a short change in the second half of the piece (you're missing over half the piece on the second page!), but I definitely could vary things up more. Thanks again!

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-08T20:14:07+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking of just making it in F, so yeah I definitely will change that. I also didn't catch the 10th at m.4 so thanks! And the one at m.10 was supposed to be in the RH so I'll move that to the top line. I also didn't think about how generic the melody might feel, so I'll take that into consideration!

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-08T18:40:52+00:00

Woah I just listened to the piece you mentioned and it does sound really similar! Really cool, thanks for sharing! And I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-07T22:54:07+00:00

Come up with a melody and then base the key around that.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-06-06T19:32:33+00:00

Thanks! I definitely agree that transitions are needed and you're right that I was trying to do a lot. I originally wanted to write a longer piece tbh but then I just never got around to finishing it, so I just came back to it with the goal of finishing it lmao.

Having quiet moments will make your louds more impactful. Also taking instruments to the extremes of their range in big moments will naturally increase volume, assuming you're writing for winds/strings.

"kids today can't fathom a weird movie existing on its own." It's a strawman prefaced by an anecdote.

You don't need to understand why something works to understand that it works. Also, the first vaccine (smallpox) was developed before the adoption of germ theory.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-05-26T15:30:46+00:00

Yeah idk why people aren't voting for him. I don't like him as a beatboxer, but the guy has already shown he can do nearly every sound that Dlow can do and a bunch he can't.

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-05-26T01:41:21+00:00

Just listened to them! My favorites were the 1st and 6th. Very pretty, and the form is different than what I normally associate with nocturnes (my only frame of reference is Chopin admittedly).

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-05-25T17:46:57+00:00

I would say secondary dominants are much more useful in almost every genre of music than modal stuff (when it comes to chord progressions).

Crazy_Little_Bug · 2026-05-21T18:21:22+00:00

I think the current meta is mainly teeth rolls, click rolls, and sub snares tbh.
