What?! That is...totally...not...exactly the way Orion would be in a graveyard.

I mean, that is exactly what he'd be thinking, but he'd be more cool about it.

Also...Konoa and Jackie's right clear this room out quick.

You mean he wouldn't play a vaguely racist song about it on his fiddle?

Of course not!

Orion doesn't own a fiddle.

Come on peeps, we can't let this one die on us yet, can we?

It's just starting to get into some good bits.

Also, Orion appreciates all forms of lyrical excellence, you tone-deaf picaroons! Franz Liszt to CYHSY.

As for his personal styling, I imagine he's somewhere between The Heavy and TV on the Radio. He's going to be playing with his band at the Pier 3 bar this Saturday at 2pm, you should come check it out! You want a flier?! Hold on, I think I've got some fliers...where are you guys going?!

I'm just trying to avoid jumping the gun on my posts. This seems to be a sedate RP now. However, enough has past that I can make a post. I shall do so either at work tomorrow *assuming they don't leave me a mountain of jobs to finish which they always do* or after work.

@Tenish the Mighty Not obscure enough Orion! Don't you know everyone's listening to recordings of bees superimposed over cosmic noise with Carl Sagan speeches playing backwards now?

JEEZ, get with the times, grandpa!

...but hey I mean if you wanna get with the times you should go to the graveyard maybe...

@Tenish the Mighty Not obscure enough Orion! Don't you know everyone's listening to recordings of bees superimposed over cosmic noise with Carl Sagan speeches playing backwards now?

I see you've been on Orion's Bandcamp.

Pfft. And pollute my ears with anything but classic splatter vinyl quality sound? As if.

Oh cool, it's my turn to play crazy trauma teen. Yay.

Also, come on guys. Everyone knows the next thing is Vocaloid. Gawd, I'm so f*cking musically hip you should call me Pelvis.

If you ask me, I think Miku blew her chance to become an artist I'd consider worthwhile when she whored herself out to Domino's.

You listen to mainstream Vocaloid? Pfff...

Technically the system Vocaloid and Miku are separate entities, the character is owned by Yamaha, but anyone using the software technically isn't using the idol herself.

It's weird. Basically whoever made the song with that software owns that version of Miku's voice, but Yamaha does not, they own the appearance. They don't own the music created, but the character is copyrighted under them and they use the software.

What I'm saying Darcs is disco is dead.

If you ask me, I think Miku blew her chance to become an artist I'd consider worthwhile when she whored herself out to Domino's.

That was the moment I became 100% on board the Miku train.

I was told that there was a slowing down of posts somewhere round this part of town.

... Detective 71342, here to investigate the matter. RPPD. There's also word of a vinyl hipster about, we're working with the fashion police to hunt this individual down and.... *long dRaMaTIc silence*...Tangle his braids.

---------------------------------------

That's actually really not the case. I'm genuinely Interested and want to know whether there is room?

Ah! A stranger! Burn it with fire!

*Cowers in the corner*

It wants to steal the precious posts it does~

No no, you've got it all wrong, little girl! I'm not here to steal them.

I'm just going to take the posts to a farm in the countryside where they can run free and make friends with the my wallet hens, sheep - and bunnies! Yes.

Why don't you run along now and grab yourself some candy in a pretty 'lil bottle labeled 'Sleeping pills'?

Go on, first one to find them gets them all!

Reverse psychology is it? You think that by telling me to take the pills that I will leave them alone. We'll I'm on to your little game! Gimme those damn pills pleb!

*Collapses head first onto the ground*

*scoops little girl into a bag*

Patient Zero has been accquired. Over.

@Spawnling What you fail to understand is that modern Miku (who, let's be real, carries vocaloid) is really just a pale imitation of digitizing voices. I think the problem is that you've already got a better market for that in just singing + recording and digital music software + autotune or simply sampling and tuning to the pitch you want. Maybe we'll see mainstream vocaloid use as pop music moves further and further away from lyrical content and more ethereal, vapid female lyrics as we're seeing in the modern day-- but to be completely honest, music made on computers, with beats that might be lazily reselling the bast with that same POP fucking 4 FUCKING 4 TIME SIGNATURE AND THAT SAME BREAK DRUM fucking goddamn consumerist soulless mall drone made to ease the trials of living in a dystopia for the proles UGH.

Like I love production (El-P, Ariel Pink, J-Dilla, FKA Twigs, Madlib, Tokimonsta, etc. that's 10/10 production-- and I can appreciate the music without human vocals, but some work meant to it, I guess I might be a sheep for believing some of it is trying to portray some feeling besides *CONSUME*) it's one thing to put work into the creation of digital music that takes inspiration from the past (as music/art/existence does) but it's another to SOULLESSLY RESELL IT AND NOW COMPLETELY REMOVE THE *ONE* HUMAN ELEMENT IT WOULD HAVE POSSESSED. by replacing that voice with HATSUNE 'Have some fun with' MIKU

tl;dr I think vocaloid going mainstream might have negative connotations about the human condition as it relates to meaning intended behind music and art.

I don't know who cares

Also maybe you could call disCO DEAD IF GENRES OF MUSIC COULD DIE BUT THEY CANT DISCO WILL NEVER DIE SO LONG AS YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE MUSIC AND THE CULTURE BEHIND IT-- THAT WONT EVER STOP, YOU CAN'T KILL THE SOUL, YOU CAN'T KILL THE FUNK YOU CAN'T KILL THE MUSIC ITS OUR DEAD HOMIES SPEAKING THROUGH US MUSICALLY

@Piercing Light
I can respect that

@71342
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW FASHION IF KATE MOSS WAS YOUR SENSEI

*snip*

...I like Vocaloid a lot and don't care/know that much about the music industry to even understand half of what you said, so this is my response:



I'm sure what you said has merit, but you're talking to a visual artist, not a musician.
EDIT: Also don't take that as me undermining anything you said, it's more "I have no idea what you're talking about." and thus can't offer a decent discussion about it. So I'm falling back to humor.

@71342
You'd probably be better off sending Piercing Light a PM about the RP rather than waiting for her to notice your message in here.
