Sau·da·de
/souˈdädə/
Noun
(A feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia that is supposedly characteristic of the Portuguese or Brazilian temperament.)
(Made this a bit like the way I did Deep illusions.)

Kind of want to make Oliver sing this! Been working on some lyrics for it, but it got too sad for my liking. Not that sad songs are bad, but I just wasn't feeling it. So now i'm changing some of it to be less sad and confusing! :D
I feel that's the best way to put it.

Also, I've been messing on this site. (Mainly because I'm not too fond of working with the software I have.) But for the pure heck of it: https://onlinesequencer.net/1248258
I think it sounds kind of 8-bit now.

I hope everyone's having a great day!


Hole punch paper strips Export

Yay! It looks like this melody can be played offline on a 30 note paper strip music box!

All you need to do is:

  1. Get a 30 note DIY Music Box Kit from our online store page if you don't have one
  2. Export the melody to PDF with paper strips, print it out and cut with scissors. Make sure to use the right paper size and set you printer scale to 100%, otherwise the size won't match. It's better when paper strips are thick, so if you are going to use thin office paper, we recommend you to glue two or three layers together. Another option is to laminate paper strips with a transparent duct tape
  3. Punch holes with a tool from the music box kit
  4. Enjoy your favorite melody playing on a real music box!

(The rest of the chapter for Silver Casted. The non-mirror story. It will have a name soon, I promise! But what I was thinking of calling it doesn't seem to fit it as well as I thought it was going to, due to how this story is going.) You open the book. A piece of paper falls out of it. You pick it up. You put the book down, and pull all your attention to the paper. It's a code, at least, that's what it looks like to you. There's five marks on the paper. It's not numbers. But they don't look like letters, either. You look back at the lock box, it has five slots. You spin the dials inside the slots. They have the same marks. You match them up, and the box opens. You look inside the box. Papers, more papers. Filled on the front and back of the papers are the same type of marks. They make no sense. You start pulling out all the papers. There were only papers in the box, all that's left, is a mirror lining the bottom. Why would they hide and lock up papers no one could read?  You look back at the book, your name still front and center on the cover. You open the book. The same odd writing fills the book. But, on one page, there's different writing. This writing...You could read this writing. This writing's only backwards. The mirror in the box. You hold the book above the lock box and read the page. " The Guide. He'll help you. Trust him. And believe in what he shows you. He'll help you the best he can. Open your heart to him. More than you'll ever know rests in the hands of you and him." " Break the mirror. Time shouldn't be wasted. Too much already has been. Break the mirror. Start your journey. "  I hope everyone's having a nice day!
