Here's the music I made for "the Man with a turpin for a head". All instruments and the whisteling are played by me, and all of it is made by me (at least as far as I know).

I wanted to focus on the rythm and make it match with the poem as well as I could. (To get the perfect rythm, put your metronome to 115!)

The first version I recorded was perhaps a bit better, but my computer didn't seem to like it so it magically disappeared. But I'm no quitter, so I started all over again - and ended up with this. In other words, I might probably make a better version later, if necessary. And of course, if you are a super-talented musician ('cause I'm not!), please use your skills! :D

I love wirrow's "give me all the flickering lights" poem, and I've been wanting to record some music to it since I first heard it. I had this idea of making music without "real" instruments, but with objects that were not made for playing purposes. Earlier today I thought of glasses, and this is what I came up with. I will upload the audio version later, I just wanted to show you that all the sounds are really coming from glasses ;D maybe this can also be useful as a raw footage?

Enjoy<3

alright here are just the vocals of my remix of "Young at heart" for re-remix purposes! if you feel like it, do something awesome with this :D (you might hear the piano really quiet, I couldn't get it off, but it's REALLY quiet so I hope it doesn't matter!:D)

Enjoy! :))

I really love "crashing" by wirrow, and it inspired me to make this tiny song... (I know my pronunciation sucks but I trust you still understand :D) Enjoy<3

Lyrics:

This is it, we're on the edge of everything

We ran so fast we didn't see it coming

We kept on making lies, it was easy to believe in them

Now it's the time to pretend we didn't se it coming

This is it, we're on the edge of all we know

We didn't look back when we could, and now we can't

We kept on making promises, and we kept on breaking them

Now we're gonna pretend we didn't see it coming

Ladies and Gentlemen, we're crashing. Please enjoy the ride.

So here's a song I wrote as a Valentine's day gift for Yiling (you should check it out, this song makes more sense if you see it...). It's based on her wonderful drawings! :) (in 28 of them actually, so I'm not going to add them all here I'm sorry, but check out Yiling's page! http://hitrecord.org/users/Yiling) I was asked to put just the song here separately... so enjoy!

Lyrics:

Ain't it strange how the time flies
It feels like it was yesterday when I was a child
Back then when I could close my eyes and find
A whole new world inside my mind

I had whales in my bed and a bird nest on my head
And the sun was my air balloon
And my toy giraffe
Could talk and walk
And the trees were my friends too
Ain't it strange

But back then it wasn't strange at all...

But then came the time to grow up and face my fears
I learned some new laws and cried a few tears
And so a big part of those worlds that I had
(was) were gone and I thought I'd never see (it) them again

But then I found you and your beautiful drawings
I must admit I was quite inspired
You must believe it's trueall the worlds that were lost
Came back to my mind
Ain't it strange?

Then again, it's not that strange at all...

Animated short music video for "I'd Rather Be the Wolf".  A very fun project to work on.

Ammendment: A special thanks to ppeppina ad depsi for their work. Also, thanks for all the comments and recommends.

1280x720 stills are available in the resources.

Just the music track for Pamagotchi's Puppycat song.

So, I've been listening to TheMorningHollow's and pamagotchi's amazing song "Puppycat", and suddenly I had these lyrics in my head... I just had to sing it out, and it was too much fun! Not my usual style again, but jaaaazz, yess! ...I do more "not my usual style" stuff than my "usual style" stuff... oh well you gotta try everything! - (too many different records from Feminism in LRRH collab inspired me with the lyrics, so I will just add the collab to the resources. You guys know who you are!)

Enjoy <3

Lyrics:

I'd rather be the big bad scary wolf
Than this little angel Red Riding Hood.
A little girl is not allowed to wander in the woods
But a wolf can do anything, not only what it should

-

I'd rather run away from my safe little home
and learn to live in the woods on my own
I'd eat the whole cake and drink the wine alone
and the people would fear me when they'd hear my roar

And if the big bad wolf will step in my way
And ask about my granny I will tell him right away!
And when he'd ask me to sit next to him on the bed
I would grab my knife and I'd stab him dead!

And if the huntsman will come and think he has to save me
I'd tell him "young man, listen to me carefully:
You'd better turn around and run away real soon,
Or I will have to show you what this knife can do!"

-

I'd rather be the big bad scary wolf
Than this little angel Red Riding Hood.
A little girl is not allowed to wander in the woods
But a wolf can do anything, not only what it should

Inspired by ppeppina's beautiful song "Hetki". As soon as I heard this song, I just had to make an animation for it.

 

Here are ppeppina's lyrics - in Finnish and in English


On elämä kummallista tosiaan - Life is very strange indeed

Täällä yksi yössä laulaa vaan - Here this one is just singing

Vaikka pitäis mennä nukkumaan - Even though it's time to sleep



Mut aika on huijari, pelkkä haamu - But time is a cheater, only a ghost

Tääl voi olla yö, mut tuol jossain on aamu - It might be a night here, but somewhere it's morning

Siellä heräilen parhaillaan - I'm just about to wake up there



Nää sävelet ilmassa soi yksinään - these melodies fly alone in the air

Ei niistä kiinnostu yksikään - and absolutely no one cares

Kuluvat sekunnit mua säestää - the passing seconds are accompaning me



Tää hetki on mun, jo nukkuvat muut - This moment is mine, others already sleep

Talo ja taivas ja piha ja puut - The house and the sky and the yard and the trees

En vois pyytää enempää - I couldn't ask for more



Mut hetken kestää hetki vaan - But a moment lasts only for a moment

Se on ohi ennen kuin huomaatkaan - It's gone before you know it
