The Paradisa (Chamber?) Sinfonia

[cantacquityou]

Dearest Paradisans,

Having been scarcer than I had hoped to be for the past couple of months, now that the semester of Hell is over, I'd like to (re-)propose something a few of you may recall from...months ago.

THAT BEING SAID.

Does your character love music/play an instrument? Does your character want to learn how to play an instrument?
...Or perhaps  s/he's a beast at the mixing-board? Hell, does your character have a Pokemon that can fart a mean tune?

Then COME ON DOOOOOWN...to the music room,  where they can unwillingly be a part of the orchestra! This isn't a fleeting plot, really. Providing there are enough musically-inclined or not characters out there, there'll be IC rehearsals and performances on a regular basis, and on that note...

...Original Music will be made incorporating the combination of instruments from the participating characters. That being said, anyone who throws their character in may have some say in how the music is created if they wish to contribute ideas.

All I ask is that you let me know which character(s) you'd like to have participate, the instrument they play or would like to have them play, and their skill level. I'll then soon make a post on the main comm where characters may wish to volunteer (or be dragged into the experience) ICly. SO, if your character is a master musician, then great! But if your character doesn't know how, and is all, 'HURRRR DUURRR IT'S A GUITUURR,' then that's totally fine too.

Example: Miles Edgeworth, Flute, Expert/Professional level. (Or whatever)

Instrument ideas: Violin, Viola, Bass, Cello, Harp, Flute, Timpani, panflute, electronic (laptop), Oboe, Tambourine, Triangle, Xylophone, Sexyphone Saxophone, Piano, trumpet, guitar, yada yada yada... Some instruments may be limited (Harp, for example, pretty much requires only one player), and some requires as many characters as possible (such as stringed instruments like the violin).

And no, I don't expect your character to play a 'yada yada yada.'  Unless you're Once-ler or something. 


That's all for now, folks!
 

EDIT: If I don't have you on Plurk yet, feel free to add me for music-related discussion.

[chubbycreampuff]

why am i doing this

Kirby, Triangle, WHAT IS MUSIC?? level.

[cantacquityou]

LOL. YES. NOTED like a mofo.

He should try to sing.

[inafadingcrown]

GALADRIEL CLAIMS THAT HARP RIGHT NOW.

Or, you know, she could do something else too. She plays a few other instruments.

Okay, seriously.

Galadriel, Harp (or lute, flute, probably a few other instruments. She's flexible.), expert/professional level. Thousands of years of experience, Hell yes.

[cantacquityou]

Oh God. Why did I even picture Galadriel at the harp even before I posted this?

[inafadingcrown]

Because it's beautiful, beautiful canon. She sings and plays the harp. It's what she does.

[fistfullofmagic]

Dhaos, Vocals, Expert/Professional Level

[cantacquityou]

Ahaha, this is going to be a bucket of fun. Where's that sample you were talking about? /tries to find an instrument to match pfft

[fistfullofmagic]

In which Dhaos' seiyuu sings an Elvis song. :3


...Also, I can't get the idea out of my head that Dhaos can play the ocarina too, though there's no basis for it whatsoever, so he's... not an expert by any means, but he's not half bad.

[cantacquityou]

That's something that can be incorporated too :3

[fistfullofmagic]

Excellent~

[wheatdos]

Wheatley! XYLOPHONE YES. potato level.

[cantacquityou]

.....









AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.



Done.

[wheatdos]

YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS CLEARLY.

[cantacquityou]

I really want to photoshop Wheatley playing potatophone.

[hard_talker]

MARK ON KEYBOARD PLZ, this looks so awesome.

[cantacquityou]

HOT DAMN. Keyboard has been accepted into the Court Record.


Yesssssssss.

[takethat]

Phoenix Wright, cymbals, IS THIS LOUD ENOUGH MILES HOW DO YOU DO THIS MILES HELP level



no objections

[cantacquityou]

You never fail me, Wright.

[heliotroping]

Django, Spanish guitar, intermediate level

He also has a Chatot, which mimics repeats words, so :|a

[cantacquityou]

Spanish guitar. YES.

...I think this to be my cue to look up what a 'chatot' is. XD

[heliotroping]

Parrot Pokemon :U

[squartatore]

Sayaka can be the conductor......




...she just won't be happy about it.

[cantacquityou]

Someone may be in line for that position (then again, not as though there can't be more than one), but can she play an instrument too just in case there's a conductor rotation or something? XD

[deterrence]

Nah, though she has a pretty decent ear. I find the idea of her being forced into the position funny, is all.

[cantacquityou]

That can happen. XDD I'm sure we could figure it out and get her an instrument as well, so that she can learn how to read notes since a conductor generally knows how to read music and tune various instruments and all that crap XD

[deterrence]

Reading isn't an issue! Being the conductor is what will grind her gears.

[cantacquityou]

I take it she has a thing against flailing a stick around in front of a bunch of musicians? XD

[squartatore]

SHE MISSES HER OWN ORCHESTRA...LIKE A LOT...and in her opinion they're far better, oops

[cantacquityou]

She has an orchestra in her canon? *__________*

[squartatore]

Yes! Albeit one that takes listeners' souls, but they're all her bbs.

[ruined_jaw]

Jonothan Starsmore, Electric/Acoustic Guitar, Expert Level

Destruction, Trumpet, "YOU TRIED" level

[cantacquityou]

Jonathan: Down for both electric and acoustic guitar!

Destruction: AH, THE SWEET SOUND OF FARTING ELEPHANTS. Trumpet confirmed.

[campaigns]

Eli is a classically trained pianist?

[cantacquityou]

Putting Eli down for the Pie-an-er~ Oooh! Would he try his hand at a harpsichord, too?

[campaigns]

It would take a LOT of convincing but he might step up to the challenge!

[whichwayyoulean]

Once-ler plays the electric guitar on BADASS LEVEL. He doesn't even need an AMP. Beat that suckers. Also vocals.

He'll probably needed to be tempted out of his room with marshmallows but whateva.

[cantacquityou]

Damn. How bad can you be?

Once-ler for electric guitar ftw

[modernholmes]

Conan plays violin.

Just never, never ask him to sing. He's horribly tonedeaf.

Takato would probably be interested in learning something simple.

[cantacquityou]

V-Vio--- HE DOES?! =D=D=D=D!!

[modernholmes]

Yep, it was a plot point in one of the movies. And there's a backstory OVA that has Shinichi hauling a violin case everywhere.

[cantacquityou]

Oh...


My...


God...







...HE IS SO CUTE. Especially after that whole family plot thing, I am sure Edgeworth will harbour the secret desire to just give him a big ol' hug upon seeing that. :'(

I say this to Conan's chagrin, I am sure. >_>

[modernholmes]

XD, he started playing because Holmes played the violin.

Yeah, he'd disagree. Not that would change anything. Everyone wants to hug him.

[cantacquityou]

Whether he likes it or not, he's adorable. Anyway, all I gotta know is his skill level to determine whether he's a 1st or 2nd violin. /o/

[modernholmes]

Hmmm, better make it intermediate. He's been playing for quite a few years, but he's also tonedeaf and not too interested in taking on extra responsibility.
