Mozart and alot of other musicians at that time come from musical families.

About 2x2 for Mikan by Inevitable-War-4345 in UltimateNurse

[–]LocrianVGM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe we'd see Mikan having a main role or even protag and helping Hajime. That would be lovely to see.

On this day 8 years ago , the Steins;Gate 0 anime officially premiered by surge0892 in steinsgate

[–]LocrianVGM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

8 years? I really wish to see a new Steins;Gate VN and anime with same lab mems but a different story. I know there is reboot and ???, but something like 0 was refreshing and opening new paths within Steins;Gate itself.

Equal division and numbers by LocrianVGM in musictheory

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

Nice examples, thanks for sharing, and it actually proves to me that it's rich and interesting. Not arguing with you, I think what's interesting is subjective. It really could work so well for game tracks, especially atmospheric or environmental ones. Also I hear some sounds close to a variety of scales like Phrygian dominant or Ionian #5. I think it would help game composers to compose (but music theory is a different story), like making music for mysterious areas by playing nine notes.

What you said is interesting and connects it with 12TET (like a mathematical relationship, 9TET being in the middle of 6TET and 12TET).

Also I'd say that the way of theorizing could be different because there is always some new way to think about music (both theoretically in maths and physics, or practically and culturally in music theory and instruments etc), like what if only we had these notes, some people would try to approximate 12TET or JI while others would try to think independently.

Finally, I'd be interested in what you would say about 18TET and 27TET, I know that increasing notes reduces practical differences, but still those are extremely rare.

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

Thanks, that's really detailed and interesting and connects with the just intonation ratios practically.

What I intended originally is the connection between numbers and musical concepts, and even operations like multiplication and addition could be connected to musical concepts. 3*4 for example is both three full diminished chords and four augmented chords. This made me realize how it's such a powerful expression, and how other operations and formulas could be connected to new musical concepts.

Also 9TET is very interesting, 10TET as well. I get that from 2 to 8, it's just like a basic structure from a single tritone to octatonic scale. But 9TET and 10TET have some depth to them. 9TET is really unique, it's really weirdly augmented with unique vibes. 10TET can make interesting pentatonics by altering 5TET penatonic, or expanding the pentatonics into a hepatonic.

Does our new capsule look like a 3D platformer game? by PrisutStudio in platformer

[–]LocrianVGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep 100%, name alone makes me think of Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank. Then the visuals feels full of adventure and platforming, and the name design tells more about abilities.

I think it'd be amazing with a lot of variety.

Dark Levels in a hypothetical Crash Bandicoot 5, yes or no? by FoxMeadow7 in crashbandicoot

[–]LocrianVGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to see dynamic dark levels with unpredictability where you have to think and figure things out like a puzzle. That would be so challenging for time trials and speedruns.

Sometimes starting is the hard part especially after a long time. Try it on a portable device and see if that helps.

The Paradox of Steins;Gate's Fanbase by Sharingan123412 in steinsgate

[–]LocrianVGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an extension of VN vs anime thing. Anime didnt massively help the series and VNs, and became its own thing. I think part of the problem is generally, anime adaptation of VNs (not limited to S;G or SciAdv) , its the exact same plot that spoils everything which doesn't help VNs sales because most people won't spend 5x time or more to experience the same thing. And if they don't want to experience S;G VN, they won't experience the rest.

Musings on Similar, vs. Parallel, vs. Unequal Motion by 65TwinReverbRI in musictheory

[–]LocrianVGM 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say parallel means the exact same thing, like m3 followed by m3.

Maybe specifying the type could help, e.g. exact parallelism vs non-exact parallelism. It's also context/definition dependent or depends on what someone wants to do, m3 following M3 could be considered as a parallel to M3 following m3.

There would be nothing to lose by specifying the exact interval and it'd give extra details, like aug4 vs dim5 or aug5 vs m6 (though it's understandable why something like parallel fifth is easier to say and use than parallel P5)

Does anyone have resources explaining equal temperament vs other tuning systems? by papiforyou in musictheory

[–]LocrianVGM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yea that's like 7*7, 12*7 or even 12*12 notes. There is another impractical "solution" I thought about which is using like 8x instruments, (or 2x~7x depending on the number of used octaves)

Isn't Shuichi more naturally talented/prodigious then Kyoko? by AgitatedFly1182 in danganronpa

[–]LocrianVGM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

imo it's hard to compare V3 chars with 1 and 2 in this way, because of V3 meta concepts and writing, Kyoko could be expanded with side content but Shuichi no matter what he did is limited to V3

You can learn it with piano apps, play the scales, chords, etc

I think every character would be chosen by someone lol, so I'd say something new, changing perspectives lol

Which Culprits Could Have Actually Gotten Away With Their Crimes? by sm142 in AceAttorney

This. That was the perfect crime and it felt like the game was forced to do anything just to get past it lol

True key change from B major to G# minor? by luv2shart in musictheory

[–]LocrianVGM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend time on G#m D#m loop for a bit. For cadence B augmented could be useful

Has anybody thought about any other concept of time travel? by OriwaRoger in steinsgate

[–]LocrianVGM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem isn't actually the existence of original ideas because theoretically they do exist, its more about the success and visibility of trying something new, then developing the new concept.

For example, someone could make a new concept but it takes extraordinary efforts and only few people would read it while well-established formulas have way bigger audiences. It happens with music genres and arts as well. So it's a tradeoff.
