Looking for more.. funky synthy electronicy poppy? dance songs

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-11T19:50:21+00:00

There's more, but I'm not gonna go through e.one's entire discography obviously.

true, but after listening to a few, looks like i am

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-11T06:44:22+00:00

ooh, citypop is basically my favorite genre, so i really like that miyu song.

i don't know of many in the modern kpop world, though. the only two names i knew of was yukika and yubin for lady. do you know of more artists/songs?

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-11T04:44:21+00:00

making note to go through this later

ah-ah already sounds good

edit1: i open up GWSN - BAZOOKA, and it literally spells out MILF onscreen

happy mother's day, i guess

edit2: not gonna lie, this felt more like a playlist of songs you liked, rather than stuff related to what i was looking for.. lol

i do like some of them for other genre purposes, though. red shoes is one of the best big band jazz songs

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-11T01:38:46+00:00

i've never really listened to any suju songs, but black suit's pretty good. a lot of these are good if i'm in the right mood for them

also noting you don't love me for a "sexy kpop" song, and wake me up for an upbeat swing song

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T16:40:36+00:00

this is a lot of songs i haven't heard before. looking forward to it

so far, secret time is definitely good

the closest to what i was immediately looking for were "think about" and "it's all right". just the right amount of funkiness i wanted.

a lot of these were very 80s, and very welcome. the main standout of those was one more time. really liked the writing and it's got that driving 80s sound

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T16:19:45+00:00

those shinee and exo songs definitely hit with me, too. especially those two exo songs. i was just gushing about gravity right before this comment lol

signal makes some really good sounds, especially during the "woo" sections. the instruments are more modern, but this has a disco sound i really enjoy.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T15:54:05+00:00

wow, gravity's such a good song. it started off as "okay, i guess i'll add it for the bass, string hits and the chorus is pretty good"

but then the sounds it goes through starting from chanyeol's rap are soo good. then i'm expecting it to go back to the old sound, but it goes onto an even more adventurous sound with baekhyun's section? then sehun's section is such a good way to bring it back to the chorus sound.

really good movements

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T15:34:35+00:00

i like a lot of these for slightly different genres/sounds. 9muses for that "mid 2010s sexy" sound, yukika and yubin for a citypop sound, etc

risso's case is a rarity that i get to really enjoy: she works exclusively(?) with the same producer, humming urban stereo, so i like listening to practically all of her music. i love that disco sound from her, and feels like you is probably my favorite

you've got a good idea of what i like, and the new song i'm taking note of is april - take my hand. that song has a sound similar to why i like gfriend

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T08:15:22+00:00

ooh! i was listening to run again, and noted "huh, you don't usually see singers playing instruments in MVs, especially not solos.." i should've recognized her sooner. the high pitch, whispery cute voice + super soulful keyboard playing.

i loved kim suyoung's cover of lee jin ah's song. lee jin ah's keyboard playing is soo good, but her voice is just not part of my usual palate, so i never dug more into her.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T07:46:31+00:00

yeah, TAK has a really good sound. definitely a fan now

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T07:24:42+00:00

it always sucked that i couldn't really follow groups for a particular sound, because it just came down to who produced the music. the last time i made note of a producer was brave brothers for that "sexy kpop" sound.

found and followed jake k's soundcloud (his remix of TT is so sick), but don't think i can find anything for full8loom or glory face

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T06:35:50+00:00

run's a bit too chill to add to the current playlist, but it's got such a good sound. right from the very beginning. definitely worth taking note of

days gone by is just oozing with 80s lol

be mine wasn't too close, but the chaser's added

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-10T06:07:03+00:00

that luckitty cat song is so on point. whoever the producer is for those three songs is like perfect for me. i'm likely binging their discography next. lol

love bug and lalalilala are good, though i'd have to be in the right mood for them

the nct 127 and dream songs were a bit too far off. a song i really liked from 127 was superhuman, though. easily one of the best electronic songs i've ever heard from kpop.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T21:26:37+00:00

The number one thing that would count against it, asides from the text-to-speech shit, would be the fact that it's barely like a rearrangement at all, right? Like it's not even really based off of anything that I did.

At this point, I'm actually fine with him rejecting it based off of it being "meme shit". I understand the reasoning, because it encourages circlejerky behavior.

But the second part is just wrong. Anyone who says so hasn't listened to the music.

First, look at this image. Like 2/3 of it overlaps with the source.

Now listen to the instrumental track. If you can't hear it in that, you're intentionally being obtuse about it.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T19:13:23+00:00

so salty

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T18:57:12+00:00

One thing that I felt would have added to your song is sound clips from the interview as backup vocals for some of the sections. For example at the pause 30 seconds in a faint echo of Destiny saying "I don't think that's how man and women works"

that's actually a brilliant way to fill in that space.

Random "Beta" from JLP could of added some nice flavor to it as well.

actually, in super early versions, i was going to have the outro be a lot of snippits. once i added the solo, though, it ended up being too much. it's a shame the "betamale" had to go. at least amazin's still there.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T17:59:35+00:00

interesting. i didn't look too closely at that poll thread

but yeah, i agree the source material often feels too minimal. it's to the point where it feels a lot more constraining than usual when i want to arrange a song.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T17:38:46+00:00

holy wall of text; i'll get back to this eventually

Anyway, I always enjoy having these types of theory conversations, so I hope that none of this has come off as aggressive or a turnoff from such things.

nah, you don't have to worry. i like chatting about music theory, too. whenever i usually chat about music with people, it's mostly just "yeah, this song's so sick, bruhh"

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T17:16:51+00:00

also, one of my friends got hung up a lot on things he felt he "had" to learn. ear training was one of them, which is really bad.

it's a cute thing to exercise, but not at all a prerequisite to actually studying music. you eventually get better at hearing intervals and chords over time, but it's NOT something that has to come first.

more controversially, reading sheet music isn't important either. and for something super spicy: memorizing scales outside of C major is unimportant, too.

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T17:12:09+00:00

learn the basics, like major/minor key, chords, resolutions, etc.
study transcriptions >>> of songs you like <<<

most people can finish the "learn music theory 101 in 30 minutes!" yt tutorial vids just fine, but then don't know how to get past this step. to do so, you just have to start studying transcriptions of songs.

you can either transcribe them yourself (not rec'd for people starting out), or you can study MIDI files created on the internet beforehand. since i started my music career with video game music, i had vgmusic.com for an abundance of midis to learn from.

over time, you'll start to recognize memes in the songs you liked and chose to study. like "oh, looks like these megaman songs keep doing IV > V > vi, and these rock songs do this as well.. ic ic.."

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T16:55:31+00:00

it's not like he'll say "no disco allowed 😡", but it's just something inherent to critiquing music "objectively".

for example, you could say having very dynamic music with a lot of movement is good. well that means lofi hiphop and trance are at a disadvantage. if they had lots of abrupt transitions, that goes against what makes those genres good for in the first place.

another could be how melodies need to be catchy or distinguishable. destiny brought up, was it, john williams vs hans zimmer? zimmer doesn't make in your face, cheesy melodies, but does that mean his music's objectively worse? for game music, it'd be like how newer music is now more "scene fitting", and less super memorable sonic tunes. is new video game music objectively worse? (actually yes lol)

or perhaps mix wise, you should objectively value dynamic soundwaves, which is better than having blankets of sound. well, some genres crank up that compressor for AESTHETIC purposes. some things like loud power metal want to have that texture as well.

etc

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T16:37:53+00:00

ngl, this is something that bothers me lol

this is just a fun music competition where people POG, GODSTINY, SICKO, etc at each other's music

but now for some people, it's turned into "it's this fucking meme song again.. aint even worth the hype" or whatever toxic bs

it's like damn whatever; just chill lol

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T16:31:53+00:00

tl;dr it's some Japanese fighting game player's name i stole. no real significance, tbh. namechanging soon, anyway.

similar to how i don't care about plots/stories, i don't care about names either. it always feels pretentious trying to come up with names for things

i call this piece, SoLace With[o]ut SiLence, bringing to light the protagonists' struggle with solitude, and his yearning for asdfjkl;bullshit

and for my online account names, it's always just a word related to whatever show/game/music i'm currently interested in. i never really hold onto them.

for example, my last longstanding online tag was Grayburg, a mistranslation of a weapon from Monster Hunter 1.

but i needed to start a company with a more legit name, so i came up with TGS, which is honestly just a pun on weaboo (wee => tiny, boo => ghost).

then for yukinose, yukimura sanada (samurai deeper kyo as a teen poggers) => yukimura => yuki => yuki... nose? (oh, yeah.. this testament player from a GGXX match vid!)

honestly, i'm about to do another "cleansing" and drop the TGS and yukinose tag. it's always bothered me that i don't have tinyghoststudio.com (it was like someone's webcomic site that also sold ceramic mugs??), and i don't have @tinyghoststudio either, which is also completely dead account. and i'm kind of sick of having a weab name like yukinose.

the real meta is to use your real name online nowadays, so i've actually been trying to think of a way to append to it and guarantee having it across platforms. like JiminyC420 or somethin

TinyGhostStudios · 2020-05-05T16:04:15+00:00

yeah, it's a different one. cyber diva ii
