Kaleidiope's melodies
Somethin' short and tiny that's been in my drafts for years I'm a well known rambler when I post, but I just wanna say, even when everything feels awful, and everything is changing - even other websites I felt at home on - this one's always here, and has forever been comforting. It's had its twists, had its turns, had some issues with users that more or less was the reason as to why I'm so inactive, but it still feels more like home than any house could ever give. And when I'm low, I still find myself gravitating here Thank-you for reading, thank-you for listening, and in general, thank-you for your time, and may you have a wonderful day/night!
Probably my newest work, even though it's a good few months old now. It sounds, very, off in some places. Understandably so, the original has like, what? 5? 6? instruments? But, I just wanted to see what it'd sound like imported here! Also, I did have to move it all one note down due the importing, (error?) it tends to have with mixing up the key. I think I got it to where it needs to be? (And slowed by five!) None the less, the original is here: https://onlinesequencer.net/1907911 I want Dex and Daina to sing this. And, other then that. I could go on about my draft folder and still needing to publish those 'cause some of them aren't too bad? I mean, I've gotten better (Frickle de frack, I hope I'm better!) And I could apologize for not posting much because I just haven't been feeling it. And so on and so forth. But, I'm only going to vaguely mention it! Anyways, here's the finished-ish version, too, if anyone would like it: https://kaleidiope.tumblr.com/post/646574759998636032/updated-version-of-this-if-anyone-remembers-the Also, If anyone'd like to see the nonsense I get up to, let it be animations, covers, stories, music, anything! Tumblr's the place to look. (it's a lot more active, too!) Because everything's posted there. Even stuff that isn't mine! (Haha! thank-you re-blogs!) Is this a shame filled plug? Yes. Yes it is. That's exactly what this is. Now, before I regret that even further, I hope everyone's doing well, remember to drink some water and take a small rest if it's been awhile! Have a wonderful day!
{Tempo has been lower by 5} Going to post this one too, since it's the first of December now for me. It's still a bit of a WIP, though. And also my newest melody by far. And, if I may, 100% full of shame say, this is one of my favorite melodies? I actually am, proud? Of this one? This is actually a song contribute to my favorite game series. Called, "Colour my". Made by Silver Stitch. Colour my heart Colour my world Colour my dreams Colour my fate Colour my life As some of you may know, Flash player is going out this year, at the end of December. As these are flash games. They will die with flash. Thanks to things like Flashpoint. They can be downloaded and playable along with many other games. Thanks flashpoint. The songs in these games are darn there to die for. They were made by "Coin" Also, a name of one of my cats. But that's not here or there. All-in-all, this melody was inspired by the music in those games. I recommend seeing those games. And frankly. I'd love to play them again. (Once more, thanks flashpoint for making that possible.) Also, can we all agree this is a much better contribute than when I made a melody inspired by The Steampianist's The Scrap Boy? I hope everyone's having a great day!
Welp, since it's been goodness knows how long since I posted a melody. Especially an up-to-date original, here's a vent song I made not too long ago! I lower the tempo from 85, to 75. But yeah. This is a vent song. (I won't explain why) I wrote it with the main Idea to have Eleanor, an English SynthV vocal to sing. I feel tuning vocal synth has affected me more than I first thought. Because I've started putting almost pitch-bends within my newer melodies with the notes. And, well, it tends to make me really have to sit down and look at the midi my melodies make. I use to be able to just pop them in the editor, input lyrics, and tune. But now, when the notes are too close, I have to take one out and extend said note, then manually add the bend I had with the note. And yes, this is pure nonsense to anyone who doesn't make robots sing XD Yet, i'm still going to explain it! All-in-all, I hope everyone's having a great day/night! Here's the version in OS with the original tempo: https://onlinesequencer.net/1642412
Yeah, I know I've been gone for quite a while but there's no time to heckin' explain O-o Kal and I are on a secret mission so everybody, hold yer horses dangit (well except for Robo, you can hold Fluttershy or whatever) Kal.. you know what to do.. ò-ó Kal's note: Second test is the same, why is this possible? 0-0
Yeah, I know I've been gone for quite a while but there's no time to heckin' explain O-o Kal and I are on a secret mission so everybody, hold yer horses dangit (well except for Robo, you can hold Fluttershy or whatever) Kal.. you know what to do.. ò-ó Kal's note: I think I was right. That's spooky! XD
{Project was started 25/07/2020, finished and published today.} Started this here on MBM then it hit me. This song is too long, and also a too large of a range for a music box. So, I continued on OS, and boi, oh boi! Did that take some time. Especially considering, I didn't even do it right!! : D There's a part that should go much faster than the version I have is going. That's because the notes should be smaller, BUT! I can't make these said notes smaller. And, since this is an eight minute song, finding the right tempo and moving notes around to make it so I can have smaller notes is something I really don't care to do at the moment. But might one day. I just want to have this victory! I've been working on it for almost three months. If I may, I mean, where did September go? Not that I mind too much, always liked winter better. But still! Also, yes, some parts might be wonky. Feel free to point them out, but some things, like the part that should be smaller and faster, just can't be fixed (Easy). Also, also! Yes, I am still working on my Vocaloid cover of Buy the stars Along with my version of Nonsense speaker, and even Evelyn Evelyn. When these things will be complete? I don't know. I still feel I have a lot to learn about tuning and music in general. So, i'm taking a good bit of time with it. And with that, yes, I want to cover this song with Fukase! That's why I did this, so I could have the MIDI file. Because I couldn't find one, so I made one! And I feel that might've been a mistake! All-in-all. Thank-you for listening to the frantic rambles of an attic dwelling Goblin, and I bid you all a wonderful day, because you all deserve the best! Truly! Have a nice day! Credit to the piano tutorial I followed because I can't do this by ear at all! Thank-you Miditube! https://youtu.be/reNaQbP4IWQ Link to the full version on OS : https://onlinesequencer.net/1564635
{Made 10/09/2020, but posted now} I can't believe I haven't posted this melody yet, but there it was still in my draft folder. I personally think it sounds too high! XD Also, here's the original (It wasn't made on this site, as always, I imported this to see what it'd sound like!): https://onlinesequencer.net/1615144 Welp, time for the what-is-now-annual-Kal-being-a-silly-sappy-dope time! As a few of you already know, it's the 21st of January, which means I've been here for two full years now. And just as last year, I want to say thank-you to all of you that made this years so great! None of you will ever know what the support has meant to me, and how much the support has pushed me to do better. I ever started taking classes for music theory last year. But, it goes so much further than that, most of you have supported my melodies, my personality, my decisions, opinions, stories, drawings and in general just made me feel so loved and valid. Something I can't thank anyone enough for. I've started animating, and writing stories far more seriously than before due to it all. And in general, enjoying life a lot. So, with that, a few of you may also know, for most of my life, I've never really had any say over my life. I really thought nothing would ever change or be good. But the people on this site showed me there's people in this world who'll care about me when I'm being myself and doing what I want. I met my very best friends on this site. So, i'm here to tell you, It does get better. You just got to find what'll make it better. It won't just happen on it's own. And I consider myself insanely lucky for all that's happen in my life. You are worthy of love! Remember to take care of yourselves, I hope you all have a wonderful day!
I made this maybe in the past few hours just now? XD I would normally let it sit and come back to it in a day, to see if I still find what I've made to be somewhat enjoyable. But I really want to export this to see if the lyrics I have in mind will fit once exported to my Vocaloid editor! Because this was made purely due to me having some lyrics I really to put to a song, and decided to just mess around, so, basically, this is a test! Please don't mind this, I just want to see if what i'm doing is going to work for what I want! XD And I hope everyone's having a great day!
"If I could be anything, anything at all, I know without doubt I'd choose 'happy'," you said, with a beaming smile. "How silly," they scoffed, "happiness is too fleeting to chase!" "We weren't discussing what to chase!" You retorted, clutching at your teddy bear, "though, I think I'd still choose happiness." "Even if it's destined to never last?!" "Even if it never lasts." "What if happiness only stays for a week?" They asked. "Then that's a week I'll forever cherish," you replied. "...what do you think would make you happy, even if just for a week?" they asked after a long pause. "Existing here at the same time as you," you replied, gripping their hand tight. They snorted, and smiled a smile that wrinkled their skin, "I'll be here for as long as you promise to also be." "I promise for as long as I can," you said, as tears pricked at your eyes. Knowing sadly, deep down, to love is to assure you'll break hearts. And being in hospice only cemented that fact. Even if you both were too young to properly understand what "limited time" meant
This is my most recent melody I've made. Only last month. Since I've been posting a lot of older melodies I figured I should post a newer one, too! I really miss creating story pitches but I have so many i'm scared to start more! XD I have so many things I work on now, and so many accounts to weird different sites. It's a little funny how it all more or less started from this site. Music box maniacs is like a nice lil' home that's always nice to come back to! X3 I hope everyone's having a great day!
A cover of Buy the stars. The full song. (If the site allowed it to go that far.) Converted by a moron that knows nothing of what they're doing trying to follow a piano tutorial. I...I really don't know if this is right. But, I need to publish it so I can download the midi, if all goes smoothly, so I can finish it! Why did I do this? Because I want to make a cover of this song with Oliver! And I couldn't find a MIDI of it, so I tried to make my own. With the help of Hugo Sellerberg. The person who made the video I followed along with! Also, it's too high! Needs to be an octave lower. But, all the notes didn't fit, and I didn't want to meddle. Because, I'm already going to have to lower the lyrical parts for Oliver to sing it. And I need all the notes for this. I guess making this here wasn't such I good plan...But, I enjoy working on this site the most!! X3 It's missing the last 20 seconds of the song......I couldn't get it to go any farther than 2048 in the length section... This saddened me...But, I NEED to finish this.There might be mistakes, feel free to point them out! But this will be worked on outside of MBM so I might already be aware of and fixed or being fixed. This is not my work. I just followed along to something. The song's not mine. This notations not mine. But the time I spent converting it here, was mine. XD Here's the video I was following along with, too! https://youtu.be/rCEfdwWooQc I hope everyone's having a nice day!! Edit: https://onlinesequencer.net/1403118
From my memory, "Pareda" doesn't mean anything. Matter of fact, it's not a word. It's complete nonsense! XD But, then! I looked it up, and my "beautiful" made up word, does in fact, have a meaning. (Acronym Definition) (PAREDA Prince Albert Regional Economic Development Authority (Canada)) (Was copy and pasted) Sooo, I don't know anymore XD Not like I ever really knew, I literally made up a word that looked pretty so I could pick it out of the sea of drafts! (You know? It really bothers me, the word,"drafts" each time I say it out loud, I feel I'm saying, "Giraffes", it's weird!) I'm going to stop rambling mindlessly now. Also, I have a new profile photo XD I also hope everyone's having a wonderful day and i'm so sorry for the nonsense that became this description!
{Made, 26/12/2019, but never posted} I have never felt such rollercoaster-emotions over a melody as I have with this one. This was finished *five* years ago, and I just- apparently never posted it?? I guess-? Deemed it not good enough or something at the time I suppose, who knows. I was growing rather critical when I stopped publishing melodies here after all (as that's kinda why I stopped) Anyway, I spent *two hours* of my little life looking for this melody 'cause it popped in my head during chores, and I was like, "Hey, I remember this. I'm gonna shove it in Reaper, edit it a bit, and make some lyrics for it" New song for the new year, right? :D Well, I didn't *have* it in my midi folder on my pc 'cause I ***never posted the darn thing***!! Why I remembered a five-year-old melody that way never published is beyond me, but regardless, I found it, and am posting it now! :D --------------------------------------------- Also, today marks a lovely five years since I first joined this site! I know I'm not very active here anymore, if at all. But that's okay! This place was a stepping stone for what I do now. I might be slow with making music and stories, but those are my main hobbies now! And I'm very happy -- something I haven't always gotten to say. Either way, I won't ramble much despite such being what I'm known for besides spamming emoticons :') So I hope whoever may be reading this has a wonderful day/night! (And please don't expect much activity from me. I'm posting this purely 'cause I want the melody and the whole 'why not post it' factor since I'm here, and it's the 21st)
{Made 04/12/2019, but never posted.} Well, random title I assigned this melody last year, don't ask me! I'm sure I didn't know then, and i'm really sure I don't know now! Hence the name! I now call it, CWTC, because I can't find a good word that means "content within the confusion" yet. Which is now what I deem it. Please, please don't ask about my naming habits XD Weird name or not, I hope all of you are having a great day/night and that you're taking care of yourself! Remember to take some time for yourselves and to try to be kind to yourselves, too!
{Made, 15/11/2019 but never posted.} I was just trying to make a melody with a more lullaby vibe to it. I don't know how I did with that, though! XD I don't have much to say, so, I hope everyone's having a great day/night! (#Save-the-smol-beanie-baby-boo-eyed-pixeled-Robo! 0-0 I don't know when they'll see this. Or if they'll even remember when they do. But, yeah...(0-0) They know...)
Oh boy... First. This melody's too high! XD I don't like it! But, I just wanted to see what it sounded like here. I removed some of it. But it's mainly all there. Here's the link to what I originally did, if anyone is curious: https://onlinesequencer.net/1268902 So, today's the 21st of January. I feel pretty silly about this, but today is the day I joined MBM! :D It's been a full year. And i'm oddly excited about that! XD And for a lot of reasons, i'm unsure if I really want to get into in a melody description... But, all-in-all, I just really want to thank all of you. Thank-you guys for supporting me all this time, especially since, more or less, all of you have been there since I first joined. And since I really didn't know the first thing about what I was doing, it really, and still does mean a lot to me. I wish I would go into a small bit more detail, but I'm just not one who can do that...let's say, easily? But, to get to the point, thank-you guys for putting up with me, my story pitches, and for just making feel valid in general. I came here to learn about music creating so I could make Vocaloid songs. I truly didn't know the first thing about this. Nor did I expect to find anyone who would be, in any way nice, or encourage me. But, all of you supported me. With everything. Why, is something really don't know, it's something I sure as heck didn't, and still don't deserve, but, it truly does means the world to me! I'm happy I worked up the courage to finally join this site and post something. I'm happy I finally have something that nobody can take away from me. (Though, they try.) And i'm happy to say I got to know such talented and amazing people! I hope everyone's having a great day!
It feels so weird not putting story pitches in my descriptions. But most of my story writing attention has been taken by one story, and I don't want to put any of it out! I've been changing the wording in some places too much for it to do any good! XD So these are going to be kind of empty! XD I hope everyone's having a good day!
{Made 11/10/2019, but never posted.} Ah, yes. The melody I abandon because it was literally suppose to be song to slip out of sanity with. Really! It was suppose to go on like that for about 3 minutes, just the same thing forwards and backwards after two or so loops, respectively. And the words were suppose to be really sweet, and slowly get creepier to the point of scary and "Dear god this is a lullaby?! 0-0" level of creep. Don't mind my nonsense, I hope you all are having a wonderful day! XD
I don't know how to feel about this one. It's a bit too high at the end! But I kind of like that? It's got a bit of charm to it being in a higher range. So, guys! :D I have something a bit different for my description today! I feel it's common knowledge at this point that I tend to enjoy making up stories. And i'm going to talk about one of my stories today, but it's not even a pitch. It's in development! And it's making me realize just how bad my spelling truly is! XD This is part of what I've wrote already, it might change, might not. I just don't feel a connection with some of the names and such. But if any of you would like to see it more in detail, such as with the characters and such, here's a link. (Not recommended!) XD : https://kaleidiope.tumblr.com/post/189085071586/story-pitch-for-the-drawings-ive-been-doing "A world, Hanbano. Presumed to be, once a world of beauty, now a world of sand and sea. The small planet's moon was large enough to block the sun for decades. If not far longer. An eternal eclipse. Leaving the world to adapt to it's new conditions. For better, or worse. The world fell apart. But as all things will do, the world adapted. The people made the best of what they had. And the world didn't leave the people, truly, in the dark. "Starworms." A type of glowing water dwelling bug with bioluminescene, rumored to have magic inside their shell's, due to the evidence of life around the ponds they inhabit. They live in the water, and in the water far beneath the ground. Along with the "Starworms of the sky". A flying bug with a far fainter glow. rumored to be the souls of the dead. Other than stars themselves, they were the world's only source of light. "GlowCo." A company made for harvesting the Starworms. GlowCo took the Starworms and turned them into lights. GlowCo knew the world relied on their lights. Crazy with power, GlowCo charged great deals of pearls for their lights. Some people seen the damage it was doing, to the world, to the people, to the starworms themselves. And retaliated. They started wearing masks on one half of their face, so when there was no light, one eye would be adjusted to the darkness. The people who could afford lights rejected those with masks, and started calling them, "Off Ones". For they're seemingly "Off" logic. The Off Ones relied on the many small bodies of water about the world for light. Along with the deemed, deadly source, that was fire. The people lived in one city, but not together. Most "Without Masks" were anything and everything they dreamed of, while the Off Ones often became merchants. GlowCo was not fond of the Off Ones, They decided that if there is no natural light then they too, would have to buy their lights. GlowCo destroyed the city. And everything around it. Many things relied on the Starworms, they depleted too much, too fast. And destroyed that portion of the world. Those Without Masks moved on, and made a new city. While the Off Ones stayed. They wouldn't let GlowCo win. They stayed in and throughout the chaos. Their masks let them see, they weren't afraid to use fire as light. Both, something GlowCo couldn't do a thing about. With a old city in ruins and a new city on the rise, The two groups got farther apart with growing darkness in the world. And in their hearts." I hope everyone's having a great day!
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!
{Made, 22/09/2019 but never posted.} More nonsense! Yeah! Boy, I wish I remembered the point and plan of this one, because I know for a fact that there was one! Oh well, maybe that's a good thing? Now it can have a more well thought out plan, maybe even get reprised! Which, in thought, might not be good! XD Third melody of the day thanks to random draft folder cleaning day, so once more, have a great day/night!
{Made, 13/09/2019 but was never posted.} Quartz dust, or silica, if you will. I can't re-call my goal for this one anymore. I just remember not liking it enough to want to post it when I made it. Why? I remember there also being a reason why I didn't like it, but I don't remember that reason either. I just know I wanted to keep it in my draft folder! XD I do remember this was just made as a test for changing instrumentals. Instead of having what would be the instrumental parts the very same thing over and over like a lot of my melodies have. Hope everyone's having a great day/night!
{Made 05/09/2019, but never posted} And yet, I consider this a more recent melody. XD My whole goal for leaning about music was so I could hopefully understand and tune Vocaloids better. And, in hopes to one day, make an original Vocaloid song. So, I've tried to make lyrical parts, and instrumental parts. But, I never really know what it ends up sounding like. I can't say I can truly judge my own melodies without just immediately thinking it sucks, or just being so ear blind to it from hearing it so much while working on it. But, yep! Two melodies today! Well....It's actually 12:01 as of writing this, so it's a new day, which means the other one was posted yesterday....Ooh....Gosh heckin' dang-it! XD Ah well... I hope everyone's having a great night or day!
(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!
The spook season! It's already so far gone! Only six more days before the one-big-spook, then it'll all be forgotten! XD And why am I upset about this!? I was never one for Halloween... I had four pieces of candy earlier and wound up feeling sick. Carving pumpkins feels terrible. I wore rubber gloves for it. I can't wear any make-up type things, no fake blood or anything of the sort. I've always been like this. All in all, though. With, or without fake blood, I still like dressing-up every year. Why? Because people love it! Especially older people! They look so happy to see someone in costume! And I don't know why! They'll ask to take pictures, and all sorts of things, even if they don't know who you're trying to be. (Which is every year.) Tried to make a spooky sounding melody. How'd I do? Trying to redeem myself with another attempt at a circus-y/carnival type sounding melody. The problem with starting with a theme for me, is it always starts sounding nothing like what I wanted, but it doesn't sound bad enough for me to scarp it and start again. So it just becomes what it is? I hope everyone's having a great day! ...Or should I say, a spooky day?
I feel that this is a bit repetitive...Also, I feel I've been a bit inactive. And I apologize! (A continuation of Lazuli, the non-mirror story. Because I've had more amusement with it.:3 And I think I may change a bit of the other one. I also apologize for the weird split? This was a long part that didn't have a good place to split. If no one minds length, then I won't do the splits, but I feel it's easier to manage than a whole chapter.) "You place it back down, you can't find anything to turn it on. Maybe you were mistaken? Maybe it's something else? You continue looking through the room. It feels a little wrong being in someone's house you never knew. Let alone looking through their things. There's a desk, more or less, in the dead middle of the room. It has photo frames of other people you don't know, and a lock box. You don't see a key. You start looking through the draws of the desk. Nothing but papers and other office supplies in the first and second drawers. But in the third drawer, was a book. It wasn't a large book, nor small. A reasonably sized book, but the size wasn't the problem. On the front of the book, was your name. Your full name. Who was this person? How did they know you? What did, or should you say, what do they want from you? How do they know your name?" I hope everyone's having a great day!
Had this in my drafts for a bit now. I think i'm happy enough with it to finally publish it! It was actually kind of fun, I don't really know why? Or how to explain it? But it was fun to work on! Kind of makes me think of a game set in winter, or a place in a game with a winter setting. Like Ankora, from Deiland! :D (I reference that game much more than I should! I'm so sorry!) XD I hope everyone's having a great day!
(Oppish: Dropagoponop (pronounced drop-ag-op-an-op) The word for dragon in Oppish.) (Was made, 09/08/2019 and never posted.) The reason for it never being posted, I feel doesn't need explained! XD But, mainly, I hate it. It's loud, all over the place, and just, I don't like it. I really don't! Maybe it's not all that bad? Maybe it's just my head? That, I can't say I know. But, it was only a test that went too far. I made it and didn't like it, thought it was missing something. Decided to repeat the melody above it. Thought it was too high. So I repeated the melody below it. Thought it was too low. Decided to put it BOTH places! And regretted it dearly! XD And then I hid it deep in the depths of my draft folder. But, I've said this a lot now, that I don't wish to hide my mistakes or anything like that. Because my whole account is me learning about melody and music making. So, i'm going to try to post my older stuff more. Even though I don't like a lot of it! XD Also, this is the melody I took a screen shot of and used as a background for my tumblr. Annnd...I absolutely wasn't threatened with photos of Orcas if I didn't post a melody in a certain amount of time...No, wasn't threatened at all...Orcas and other sea-mammals don't scare me at all...And no one told me he'd start posting them to a DM if I didn't post this... XD I hope everyone's having a great day!!
I don't know how I feel about this one, the A5 and C6 notes seem off in a few places. But changing them, or leaving them out doesn't really work for me either. I was messing about a while back, (I haven't decided if i'm going to publish it or not.) And oddly, it helped me. I don't really know how to explain it, but I feel I have a better grasp on making melodies now. (I've also found an UTAU I like, Kazehiki. I've been messing around with that program for a bit, too.) I hope everyone's having a great day!
