Description: First Music Weeklies challenge of the new year! This one was "Champagne." I had no idea what to do so I channeled a couple specific composers and got this, haha! A toast to Music Weeklies!

I love this so much! James Bond/Skyfall vibes. always a sucker for some good champagne jazz :)

It's been a couple weeks since I've uploaded something new (I was in a bit of a creative rut). Inspired by this week's challenge theme "Rivers," I decided on a short but emotional journey. I pictured a group of survivors making their way to a river in order to have the current carry them away from the place that they were in. I want to come back to this one to work on it some more, but I hope you enjoy it for what it is! Feedback is always appreciated. :)

Troisnyx here, uploading for all of us at Ea-Nasir's Actually Fine Copper Ingots! We are:

Facemeltingsolos - Guitar, oud
Richard Patrick Davey - Bass, keyboard, voice, mixing
moinlabs - Synth, mixing
hapticfabric - Synth
Troisnyx - Lyrics, voice, percussion

We wanted to capture the celebratory atmosphere of Dia de Muertos, without resorting to the stereotypical mariachi sound. Before long, we settled on doing a sort of "danse macabre" with conlang lyrics -- and the only conlang I know is Hymmnos, the conlang of the Ar tonelico games. I hope you all enjoy this dance -- grab a friend and partake!

TRANSLATIONS:

Blessings----!

(Feeling neutral:)
I recount the story
of the souls of the past
and of our unchangeable fate.
Life is changed, not ended,
at the hour of death.
(End neutral emotion sequence.)

(Feeling rather nervous:)
we pray here
for all the souls
of the dead.
We desire to see the people on the other side
and give them our hope.
These are beautiful memories.
(End nervous emotion sequence.)

REFRAIN I
With slight trepidation, let the celebration of death begin!
With a little hope in our hearts, we pray that our petitions turn into power!
With trepidation, I sing the story of my people
and become that which shakes the earth;
resound now!

(do not be sad, do not be sad!)

(Feeling a little trepidation:)
we pray here
for all the souls
of the dead.
We desire to see the people on the other side
and give them our hope.
These are beautiful memories.
(End nervous emotion sequence.)

(together as children of God)

Please hear our prayers,
hear our words who still draw breath!
I convey the hopes of all the people
to the dazzling light of heaven!

Please accept these golden (orange) flowers,
the golden flowers of death, the flowers from our hearts!
Please come here
and accept these gifts intended for you, our beloved!

-----

(does not translate; these are Hymmnos exclamations of joy)

Attend, attend, all foe or friend!
Today is the hallowed festival of the souls of the dead!

I bless you (pl.) good people!
I will not tremble in fear!

REFRAIN II
We will become the light of hope
and shine in these sad, dark times!
With unbridled joy, I sing the story of my people
and become that which shakes the earth;
resound now!

I hope for the last days!
I desire to eternally
be yours,
be by your side!

(I'm so glad, so glad, so glad, so joyful!)

First Music Weeklies challenge of the new year! This one was "Champagne." I had no idea what to do so I channeled a couple specific composers and got this, haha! A toast to Music Weeklies!

Here's To Us

The song for the Choco-Coco Casino! It was also made for a musical weekly challenge track, based on the theme "Champagne".

After traversing the Cool Caramel Cliffs, Milo finds himself in the huge Choco-Coco Casino, where he has to travel through massive machines and poker tables.

The Secret Roots (Music Weeklies Challenge)

A terrible misfortune has struck a young man living in Kyoto, Japan. He one day discovers that he can talk to fruit. Does the fruit respond? Who knows.
Made for the @MusicWeeklies #AnimeOpeningTheme challenge.

- This is not based on any actual anime music style. I made it up. It's a modern tribute to the sound of Japanese cartoons I enjoyed as a kid. I hope it doesn't offend any true anime fans. 

- I wrote some guitar leads and couldn't play them cleanly enough to replace the MIDI. So, the MIDI stayed. 

- I added a bit at the end to simulate ending credits.
