its like 4am so the best time to post anything anywhere
im going to keep this short
anyone know a software app on here that does actual music making?
i got what i got on my glasses but maybe theres something better here since we got tech from all the fuck over the place
an actual turntable would be fuckin amazing but im not holding my breath i can save up my succubus and or incubus solar panel points for it

ok thanks

i mean my friend's not really a *builder*, she just makes stuff
she can make anything as long as she knows what it's made of, but she doesn't really build it, you know?
but maybe some kind of big project like that would be pretty cool? i don't know
i've played in a band before but that was just for a school festival
nothing super big like that

i've got no idea how the time thing works tho, im still feeling that out
there's tons of locals bands here that i've never heard of before, but that's probably because it's a whole other planet? they're all prismal bands
but whenever i'm talking to other moonblessed there's a 50/50 chance they even know what a guitar is, so it's usually kind of useless to think everyone knows the same stuff
what kinda stuff makes up "the classics" for you? like bands and whatever

[OOC: sorry this is so incredibly late! I missed a bunch of notifs a while back and couldn't remember what all threads I had going on, but seeing Dave in Sonia's post reminded me to come back here and check if this was one of them; lo and behold, it definitely was 💦
Feel free to disregard this if it's too old!]

yeah see thats what i mean
people are good at random shit that you just dont think theyre good at and damn if that doesnt sound like something thats random as fuck but a god damn necessity

you and me both
[[Which is jarring for Dave who relies so specifically on understanding time. He'll parse it out.]]

some of them arent too bad the local bands i mean
classics i like dicking with to update are just things like bowie and queen and that kinda shit mainstream old classics alice cooper but with modern twists
if im composing shit though ive got a weird boner for synth lately so i guess some of the aesthetic hits it hard

[earrdrums]

no it's not really that either, it's not like a trade skill or something
it's her quirk
or her power i guess since we're the only ones who actually use that word
she can just make things out of her body and stuff?
but i try not to ask her to do it too much, getting expensive stuff for free like that kinda wigs me out

[She says like a hypocrite from her weighted, heated blanket while wearing silver jewelry all provided by her friend's Quirk -]

you've got good taste in classics tho
glad to hear our worlds aren't TOO different in that regard
but if you're getting into synth stuff, why go out and get some software you haven't used before when you can just nab an actual synth?

[itsknighttime]

you might be
the word i mean
the power stuffs cool i guess i mean its at least biodegradable that way?
plus if theyre your friend they just want you to be comfortable and taken care of

[[A girl has to be warm and on fleek. It's acceptable.]]

thats pretty dope
at least you know what id be talking about
theres some people who got no god damn clue about the songs and i just feel bad for them
id tell you but its classified under the american government section four twenty nine and illegal to transcribe in texas
and you know what they say
you can take the boy out of texas but not the texas out of the boy
or something else that excuses me from admitting im better with digital synth
im better with a turntable under my fingers but not really touched on an actual synth

[earrdrums]

[While her friend's Quirk is a little more permanent than he's probably thinking, honestly? Jiro's just gonna put that to the side for now.
It's easier to explain this kinda stuff in person anyway, and she's already got the vibe they'll be meeting face to face someday.]

american, huh? alright, texas boy
any interest in *learning* actual synth?

any keyboard worth its salt can do anything a fancy synth can and more, after all
and it's not like they're in short supply around here with the whole retrowave shtick this place has going on

[itsknighttime]

[[Probably. He almost asked if their name was Roxy but there's no way Roxy would make things out of her own body and also not react to him and Karkat being there on the network.]]

grade a american you bet
cultureless and raised on burgers
[[No he was not.]]
but definitely interested in actual synth learning
learning a keyboard would be pretty fuckin dope

[earrdrums]

it'd be a good skill to have, for sure
especially since you can work it into a turntable setup real easy, right?
just get yourself a good quality midi keyboard, hook it up to whatever computer hardware you're using, and bam
any sound you want at any note you want at any time you want

i can't say i'm an *expert* with the keyboard, but i know enough to teach
plus i've got one i wouldn't mind lending you while you learn

[She did say she was mostly a guitarist, after all. Not that that's all she knows.
But that's followed by a short pause before she tacks on another thought at the end, as if she'd almost forgotten -]

you can call me jiro, by the way.

[itsknighttime]

hell yeah it would
i dont know if its going to hook into my shit but ill work on finding a way theres enough people here who know how to fuse technology

even just learnings good enough if you dont want to part with your musical children
thanks no joke

oh
fuck
i always forget that part
dave strider
i mean me im not just saying a random name

[earrdrums]

i mean if your stuff's got all the right hookups it should??
unless you come from someplace that doesn't use USBs or audio jacks, i guess
i HOPE not tho. a place like that honestly sounds like a nightmare.

and i mean it's fine, i don't mind lending stuff out as long as it's not my bass
plus if i end up needing a second keyboard i can just ask my friend to make one
she's my keyboardist anyway, she'd probably be able to pop one out without too much difficulty

good to meet you, strider.
