Robots have feelings too!

A Robot Falls in Love

A Robot Falls In Love

K2 (LoFi)(published version)

The struggle against the machines has gone on for centuries, and will no doubt continue. They have destroyed the lives of billions, but they are not the enemy - power is. Deal with power, and then human and machine can evolve together in harmony.

Trouble at Mill

Kinda upset and a little frustrated, so I banged out this piece. I think it turned out okay.

Zero Day

I really wanted to branch out some more, and go out of my comfort zone (stylistically) with this sort of Egyptian scale. It was super fun developing the runs and all of the basslines. I want to thank @pianolord for feedback and for being the huge inspiration for the second half of this song, I really tried to mimic his style, but of course add my own flair. I think this turned out to be one of my best, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 

Thanks also to:
@the_letter_h ~ Pedal manager lol
@bea ~ Pushed me to do more and great overall feedback
@yoni ~ Dynamic and overall quality

The Psychology Of A Mastermind

So I wanted to write a fast paced, energetic kind of piece. And about 40 measures in I was like "huh... the last couple of measures I wrote sounds reeeeeeeeeeeeally similar to ANiMA by XI.." So I decided to lean into that more, deleted the entire thing and started over with XI in mind. Super fast bpm, lots and lots of 16th notes, and a bunch of key changes to make it spicy. It's not the longest piece I've written, but I hope you enjoy nontheless.

Thank you for listening and have a great day :)









If you made it this far congratulations! You get a brownie <3

Sequel to "The Psychology of a Mastermind".

In this song, I wanted to expose the idea of a mastermind more. This song, more than being about how a mastermind thinks, is about how the mastermind acts. Dark, brooding, sporadic and intelligent. The piece is a bit of a longer one, but I feel like it does its job capturing the essence of the first song.

The Mastermind

Chapter 3: A Land Long Forgotten

	“A long time ago, this land was chaos,” the old man began. “The Darkness reigned, and it was made sure that there was very little resistance. It was like this for 500 years.
“But then, almost out of nowhere, three figures rose up. A dragon, human, and elf, they were each magically gifted, and agreed to expend all of their power, sacrificing their lives, to create three objects that, together, would have the power to seal away the Darkness, and cease the chaos. 
“Hold up, hold up,” Nat interrupted. “Dragons, humans, and elves? I mean, I’ve heard of humans - of course, I’m one of them - but what are these other creatures you speak of?”
“Ah, you’re right my boy,” laughed the old man. “I forgot you’re Cordian. You wouldn’t know of such things. Here, let me summarize the three races for you.
“We’ll start with the humans. Small civilizations of them are everywhere, including here, but most live up in the mountains in the northwestern corner of Aeternus. Due to where they live, they’re quite a bit isolated, having their own way of living. And dare I say, it’s a quite good way of living. They dance and they party all day and all night, free from the worries of the world around them.
“Then, you have the elves. Mischievous little beasts they are.” The man smiled to himself.  “They’re all quite small, topping out at about two feet in height. They live in the forests to the southeast, and are all quite handy with a bow. So, even though they might not look very intimidating, trust me, you don’t want to get in a quarrel with one. Trust me, I know from experience.
“And lastly, the dragons. Up in the rocky cliffs to the northeast, they lay dormant. Now those guys, you don’t want to mess with. They’re extremely intelligent, but also think of other species as ants in comparison to them, and treat them as such. It’s quite hard to start a conversation with them without them getting annoyed and ending your life right there.
“Anyways, these three races - humans, dragons, and elves - used the stones accordingly, and peace returned to Aeternus, and peace was returned. But inevitably, the Darkness is already making its return, now quicker than ever.
“In the far North, there lies a civilization of goblins, led by a human wizard by the name of Zorander; my twin brother, funnily enough. Quite the eccentric individual, that one. As of now, he’s started trying to bring back the darkness. And he is extremely close to doing so. Which is where you come in.”
“Yes… that strange stare you made at me. Explain.” Nathaniel pushed. 
“Ah, yes, that. Well, a while back, our parents got into some trouble with an old witch. She cursed them to have two sons - one to end the world, and one to prevent the other from doing so. A strange curse, but hey, I’m not the one who made it. That stare… Well, it’s something I do without realizing it. And it happens when I catch the eye of a person capable of saving Aeternus from Zorander. In fact, it’s occurred three times before, and the three people… I’m sad to say, it didn’t go well for them. And now… there’s you. I’m so very sorry to bring you into all this, but I’m afraid if you don’t help, this realm will fall right back into chaos.”
“Alright,” Rose said nonchalantly. “We gonna go get rid of this old wizard guy or just stand here awkwardly?”
“You’re certainly right, my girl,” laughed the old man, “But first, I must make some preparations. Our journey shall begin soon.”

Ch. 3:  A Land Long Forgotten

Here's my (Groovy)tidbit before Freyja's: Make sure to go follow Freyja and the rest of the alters @callisto_system. They are incredibly gifted at writing music, and it'd be more than worth that notification. But Anyways here's Freyja's description lol

Hello! Freyja here. One day, I joined the VC in the Flat discord server to find a giddy Groovy rambling on about something in "b minor". And I never knew that moment would change the course of history forever. But first, you require some context to truly understand this revolutionary discovery.

Groovy and I (and a couple others) had recently been spending most of our "vibe time" vibing to a certain song, about a man who lived in Russia long ago - "Rasputin" by Boney M, the catchiest song of all time (fight me). We had grown obsessed, and "Rasputin" became one of many musical inside jokes of ours. However, there was a challenger to the title of "catchiest song"...You know the rules, and so do I..."Never Gonna Give You Up" by Rick Astley.

But...On that fateful day...Groovy made a revolutionary discovery. Both Rasputin - and Rick - were in the SAME KEY.

B Minor.

The rest is history. In about two hours of voice chatting and working, this hell of a mashup came to existence. On behalf of Groovy and I, I present to you...Ra Ra Rickroll :wink:

Psst! DAW edition coming soon! :eyes:

-The B Minor Maniacs

Big thanks to @skepp for helping us out at the beginning :D
