I wish TTRPG battle/ambience music tracks would be at least 10min long, even if they are looped by their creators. So many tracks are great that I buy but are only 2-3min long and aren't created to loop naturally. So my table is constantly listening to the intro/outro sections that tend to be more attention grabbing. I've had to learn to use audacity to fade them in and out but it's extra labor that doesn't always work.

Load them in mixxx, and then hit the 16- or 32-bar loop button on the sections you want to repeat.

Never heard of that before. I'll check that out. Thanks!

It's a great, foss DJ app. It gets better every time I pull it out to tinker with it. I'm not a DJ, but it's a powerful tool.

Don't know the band, will check tomorrow

Edit: Just checked them, they remind me of Be'lakor but with fry-like vocals

That's basicly three songs and it's not typical for deathcore. Still an awsome band.

Uhh... sorry to break the illusion, but Will Ramos (Lorna's vocalist since 2021) is a joke among people learning how to scream properly - guy's badly hurt himself and most of the quality goes to post-production

Source: Will Ramos laryngoscopy - it shouldn't twist like that; I've also heard that he admitted doing harsh vocals was painful, but I can't back it up with a source

Godspeeds are so good, for me it's classical music reimagined with new instrumenty.

Also an experience: a longer overarching story across an entire album.

Examples: Metropolis pt. 2 (Dream Theater), or basically anything Ayreon.

The term for that is Concept Album.

They began in the 40s and 50s and really took off in the 60s and 70s. They died out in the 80s and gained popularity again in the 2000s with emo and pop punk bands like MCR, Green Day, Boys Night Out and more.

I mixed prog rock/metal with electronic and the resulting industrial metal somehow cuts songs down to 5-7 minutes.

Weird interference effect when you mix 4/4 and 7/8 time signatures, you start dropping bars that fall out of alignment with each other and the song gets shorter as a result.

Damn, I've heard of black metal and doom metal, but funeral doom metal? Metal subgenres continue to get more specific lol

lemmy.world

Pretty soon, there's going to be gloomy metal genres so specific that they're named after specific funeral plots and mausoleums.

It's getting there. Spotify said I listened to something to the tune of 900 different genres last year. One band can have 12 or more different genres attached.

Considering it's the norm when you aren't doing something genre typical to take two ir more genres and just smoish the names together. This way you get things like blackened death metal (black plus death) or epic gothic power metal (take a guess). Now smoosh those teo examples together and you get something like blackened gothic melodic death metal. See that there, now we get into the transformative properties of metal subgenres. Death metal with a bit more melody and structure, which power metal has in spades, becomes melodic death metal.

Fun isn't it? Also I may have bullshitted together half of the above. But it is a real thing

Classical music is still looking down at you from above. Kaikhosru Sorabji especially. He wrote a piece for piano that lasts 8 to 9 hours.

Amen. Don't pull the trigger squeeze; that will ensure a kill...

I'd rather have a concept album of songs that play into each other and advance the narrative than one 20 minute song. I hate progressive music. I used to bounce at a bar whose owner's son would book bands, and 90% were prog bands. Averaged 14 minutes a song, brought in lots of people who bought zero drinks but lots of waters. And they were all dickheads.

Classical music can also be much longer. Symphonies, masses, or operas are many hours long. Kind of like an album of dozens of the shorter 20 minute pieces.

Symphonies still have subdivisions that can stand on their own, so a symphony is more like an album and not a single song. The movements of Beethoven's 9th Symphony range from slightly more than 10 minutes to slightly more than 20, for example.

Yeah, but a symphony is meant to be listened to as a whole much more than an album. It of course depends album to album, some have a tight through line, some don't as much. But there wasn't as much of a way to listen to just a single movement before recordings, so you would listen to the whole long thing moreso than the movements individually.

There are plenty of progressive Rock and Metal albums that are also supposed to be listened to as a whole.

And people have been playing Ode To Joy on its own long before there were recordings - single instrument renditions of symphonic pieces exist for a reason.

I agree. It's just easier to split up nowadays.

I'm glad there is still long form music being made both inside and outside the classical world. I really appreciate when music builds a full world of it's own.

When some filthy casual calls a piece of classical music a "song"

💀

I think Watsky's "Lovely Thing Suite" would be better as a 20 minute song, it ended up releasing as 4 songs that technically flow into eachother but it's a little janky.
