Vedurs Standard Music Style List
Sexy audio rawr, catty
asså det där med skiss eller dedikation jag tänker antingen så pungar man ut eller så gör man det inte.
Typ gå på fin restaurang och snåla känns konstigt, vad gör du liksom.
Antingen så tar du hamburgkedja elr så går du all in.
types: 1. begrenzt 2. Skizzieren/bruks 3. Dedikation 4. Naturwissenschaften
Effectors: Sång, Tejp
1. Desktop Music(TEJPSNUTTAR, TEJPSNUTTAR, TEJPSNUTTAR, TEJPSNUTTAR, TEJPSNUTTAR !DOS!, NES, SNES, N64, Age of Empires, custom DTM boxes, Super Mario Bros Wii, VGM music, Undertale, Stardew Valley)
2. Bedroom/Living-room-composer(democracy, FL-studio, 60s crusty-core, Brian Eno, Aphex Twin, C418, Kraftwerk, Avicci, Deadmaus, Skrillex,Basshunter, amateur recordings, VSTs, whatever mic)
Joe Hisaishi Images, Björn Isfält, Logic, Beatles, Recorded DTM-synths, Ted Gärdestad, Real musicians, Good Mics)
3. Full Orchestra(Lord of the Rings, Star Wars)
2. Bruks Recording, sample rate 9khz - 12khz?
4. Raw Recording
3. Oomph:ed recording(compressors, equalizers...)
2. ~20khz audio file, MOD-file, MID-file (though at the moment I focus on bruks production, I think 20khz counts as bruks recording)
bruks render? 20khz I would say
44khz feels sort of overkill for playback, makes sense for production ready HQ samples
2. Bruks Rendering: ~20khz
3. Bruks Sampling: ~15khz
3/4. 44khz audio file


Mix Styles
* On stage = DTM
* close and on stage blend = Bruks/Dedication
* In your face = Bruks/Dedication


"Bruks"
Bruks means the level at which you can do ~90% of your work.
For example:
Bruksskrift = fills ~90% of your writing needs.
Brukspiano = play all the simple melody + chord song books
just enough to get most things done.


Types of Music
I divide music into two types:
"Tejp": Music that revolves around moduses, beats, harmonies, improvisation, repeating motifs, moduses are in focus, not melodies, you generally make this at a DAW
"Sånger": Music that revolves around melody + chord accompaniment, you avoid improvisation in this genre, you write this with a guitar and some sheet music paper outside like a true trubadur.
Then there are further subtypes:
* Celebration:
* Perception Celebration:
* ECPC Celebration:
I am quite obsessed with meaning in everything, so I will write out what type of song a song is when I write a song.
I label all my tracks as being either "Sång" or "Tejp" because I like structure and order.
If I were to learn music composition all over again I would do it in the order:
* folkmusic, modal harmony and song structures, bruksguitar
* DTM arrangement
* Romantique orchestral arrangement
* baroque
* Wien classicism
* Modern



Don't go overkill
Overkilling has become so common.
People use unecessarily high fidelity in music and graphics these days.
They think 4k truecolor 60fps 360 HD audio will make their stuff relevant, it wont.


MIDI sketch techniques
* 0.5s attack and release + ins. volume modulation(macro and micro)
* Micro modulation


Particell Play
Particell play means you give every member of an ensemble a particell copy instead of their part.


Lo-Fi Sound Design
Lo-Fi/Crusty is when audio isn't completely sterile.
There is some noise, distortion and low sample rate.
Lo-Fi is more bruks.
Though a person not going for bruks can also do lo-fi stuff because it more qualities than just demanding low capacity.
It sounds warm and comfy.
Lo-Fi is big in dungeon synth.
It is also big in electro acoustic.
Lo-Fi Effects:
* Instrument Cable Pass(gives "warmth")
* Low bitrate
* Low bit depth
* Saturation
* Detunes
* track noise(gives "warmth")

sometimes you know I get asked "So have you done any music lately" And I just say "just taping random stuff, staying emotionally connected"
"Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping"
"Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping"
"Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping Just taping"
This is what I do when I do not want to feel the pressure of delivering creativity.
* Tejpsnuttar
* Tejpbitar Tejpbitar Tejpbitar Tejpbitar Tejpbitar Tejpbitar Tejpbitar
I just want to play emotions.
* Modus, modus-alt, intro, outro, ABAC, ABC, ABA, linear
* Sample Percussion Loops
* Rythm loops
* Loops, lots and lots of loops
* Polytempos
* Polysongs
* Arythm
* sample-sharing
* I would argue that beat-music, with it's flipping on and off of different tracks is really just an extension of tapes.

"Sånger"
* Start with some modus to write the melody to.
* Improvisera gärna verser, men håll refrängen samma
* Ofta så har jag bara en refräng, o vers o andra delar hittar jag typ på
* Write a melody over it.
* Add parts.


Eras
* Romantique
* Folk/Poem Music songs
Folk/Poem Music on a nylon string guitar is sort of the base that keeps me sane.
I like folk music because of the trubadur/sång culture and I like the nationalromantique because it is just folk music with a big orchestra.
The guitar is like the music equivalent to the pencil.
* 60s no.1! (No retro emulation please)
* 80s raibow/clout/fresh eran
* Furrypop
* Middle Ages
* Baroque
* Vienna Classicism
* Romantique
* Impressionism(isn't it more or less just french romantic music?)
* Modern
* Early Jazz
* Late Jazz
* Early Pop
* Late Pop
* Furry Rock
* Furry Country







LODs/Gould-Maxxing
When I studied piano I had to learn pieces really quickly and to memorize them efficently I had to use LOD-levels, We called this Gould-maxxing because memorizing pieces without sitting at a piano was something Glenn Gould would do a lot, it helps a lot with developing understanding of music as well.
LOD-Level 1: The Whole, Beethoven: Moonlight Sonata C#-minor, Sång
LOD-level 2: The parts, 1.Adagio sostenuto, 2.Allegretto 3. presto agitato
LOD-level 3: The details, 1. Motifs + harmony, 2. Motifs + Harmony 3. Motifs + harmony
LOD-level 4: The micros, mixing & arrangement


DTM Sample LODs
* Chiptune(NES)
* Kawaii shorties(SNES, MT-32, Earthbound, SMW)
* Crusty (SNES, Zelda, Nintendo 64, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Chrono Trigger)
* Raw & Uncanny(Mellotron, C418, Brian Eno)
* HQ/Fresh (Gamecube, wii-series, Wind Waker,)


Minimal Notation
Starting out your piece writing with an emotion in mind is a really good idea.
I prefer minimal notation but sometimes make more exact notation.
I do not like to mix the two, I think it makes the sheet music ugly, I make two versions, one for umusical people and one for musical people.
"Slow, Dramatic"
"Marsch, Pompous"
"Fast and elegant, like a small bird"
"Walking, Romantic and Broad"
"Planet Slow"
"Like a train without breaks, steady speed, Full Force"
Also,
I avoid using extreme dynamics unless I really want that effect.
pp is hard to even hear.
FF and your ear starts to really hurt and the instrument starts to sound pushed.
p and F are fine.
When you write a piece of music you can make the base version and then your interpretation version, there are many pieces of music within one piece and it is a shame to only play one.
It is really only when I make "tape" that I do exact notation.
If I am doing a song I write the vibe and the melodies, I avoid setting a standard ensemble for the song.
If I am arranging the song for an ensemble though I will write out soo much more sh*t because repetition goes faster then.
Also:
Absolute tempo markings > relative dynamic markings
Relative Dynamic markings > absolute dynamic markings


Vox types
* Own vox
* Finnoskandi
* Dedication vox
* Daily dark calm
* Mew bright
* Mörk o påläst
* Present calm


Dark Synth
Remember, it is not retro emulation if you have some sort of logic behind taking something old.
* Noise channel
* Slight moving pitch
* Mid boost(often unecessary)
* D-verb, often lots
* Altered tuning
* Destablizers


Naming
I always give pieces a name or a nickname, I do not like it when the title is just metadata.
Kurt Atterberg - "Empire" (symphony no.4 in G Minor II. Andante)
Kurt Atterberg - "Phoenix symphony" (symphony 3)
Vincent During - Gunnarsons Vals
The nickname tends to be whatever the piece is to me.

Normalizer
Normalizers are the audio equivalent to auto contrast, the kind that makes the darkest part black and the brighest part white.

Mid-cut filters
Sort of like many find high contrast levels jarring many find strong mids to be jarring so a mid-cut filter should be there for those that want it.
just like you're not supposed to make flat graphics files don't mid-cut everything in the DAW, that's stupid.


Level Mixing
!!!Distinguish between "loud" & "quiet" and "front" & "back"!!!
* Audience mix(everything back, reveerb on everything)
* pop mix(some things close)
* ASMR mix(everything close + mid cut filter), I used to do this all the time but then my ears stopped being addicted to ASMR and everything ASMR started sounding sh*t to me


Tools
HIFI SETUP:
DO NOT TRY TO MAKE ART AND MUSIC ON BAD GEAR, IT WILL SUCK NO MATTER WHAT!
* Monitor Speakers
* Subwoofer(I hate setups without subwoofers/bass, sounds so empty and dry
I once had a setup with two treble/mid monitors for a bunch of months and wondered why all music sounds like shit then I bought a subwoofer and thought wow shit I am stupid and wow music actually sounds good now.
I went from listening to nothing to listening to everything.
Music can not really be epic if it is just scratch treble.
When I got a proper music setup I realised music can affect people's emotions.
Good music setup = everything.
Holy sh*t, I just feel so stupid for not having bass before, I have listened to music without body for so f*cking long.
Why has no one told me!?

E-composer SetupRef: Kan Gao, Dwarf Fortress OG OST, Toby Fox, Concerned Ape, Disasterpiece, Aphex Twin, C418, DAF(E-vibes not E-method)
The E-Composer genre started growing in the late 80s and originally revolved around sharing around MIDI/Tracker files.
The genre grew over time as web culture grew and shows no sign of stopping, it will probably just get bigger and bigger.
The genre revolves around one person(with maybe a friend or two) making music using their computer at home. A very homegrown sound.
Music made by coders.

Men's love for Tape Music
Tape music, music in which moduses are in focuses, not melodies are the genre for men.
It is accessible and social, whereas songs are too prestige.
Men prefer music that is social over music that is prestige.
Tejp has that wolf cry quality men seek in music.
I like to do songs as well, but tejp is number one.
When men do music it is about emotions and communication, when women do music it is about prestige and display of understanding of sociocultural rules.

* Fem närmsta musikerna(man spelar in dem tre gånger så man får en orkester, och så har man för mycket bas, man hade inte råd med kontrabas så någon duttar fult på en elbas)
* Fem närmsta instrumenten(trashat piano, trashad gitarr, trash stråk, man hitta något skit på blocket/vinden)
* En random ass f*ck skitig synth(obligatoriskt)
