WALRUS SQUARED (feat. me and hellbooks)

[shaft.ed]

yay

[shaft.ed]

the pair category is proving very very difficult q_q

my plan is to instantly think of all the other categories and then stall out the deadline waiting for a brilliant insight to appear for that one

just do one Billy Joel and one Elton John


Also I don't think i can maintain anonymity too well as I've pushed most of my fave artisist on Hellby already in the monthly music thread

[shaft.ed]

I liked the paired submission. I actually found a new song since none of my existing faves really fit the category well enough.

As for points, I'm totally happy with capricious scoring as long as I can rabble at it

[shaft.ed]

Meh,
I think everyone now has a digital trail all over the site about what they like to listen to
at the very least we are just coming from schadd's walrus, so that should be enough to clue everyone in

[shaft.ed]

calypso

they were ephemeral
yet full of beauty

[shaft.ed]

you don't see it but she was pointing at the songs she was referring to while typing the post

i thought she was talking about the same really complex opus song titled

here's

[shaft.ed]

i love all of my old privilege

[shaft.ed]

i think i need to stop changing all my entries

[shaft.ed]

i just listened to a song that could fit three cats in it at once

if you get all 8, can just submit one song

[shaft.ed]

rabble

[shaft.ed]

I've got too many deadlines piling up so I need to take a break from the intertubes until July

I'll try to drop by this thread intermittently to keep up with the songifying
have fun everyone and thanks in advance for organizing helltris!

[shaft.ed]

is your score going to half of everyone else's then?

[shaft.ed]

that sounds like a challenge

[shaft.ed]

excited
though not sure if i can make it

[shaft.ed]

sad i only caught the tail end of Dave and Isis' entry (not that they weren't fun!)

Will you post track links at some point?
PEDIT: odds appear favorable

that said
long live Knut

[shaft.ed]

I hope I can get out of the apartment by end of the year
My parents still have my bassoon and I was going to pick it up again once it get my own place
I was actually "learning" that piece when I stopped playing

[shaft.ed]

find out next weekend!

are we going to outer space next time?

[shaft.ed]

I like my song a lot in this cat but I know tris and hellbooks will not. Is that how you walrus?

no
you only submit songs the organizers won't like when schadd is running it

[shaft.ed]

oh um, aprox. 7:pm pdt sunday, (expired on 2021-06-20 19:01:47)

got my ping
might make it if i either finish my grant draft or time my break appropriately
and I avoid wife summons

[shaft.ed]

hellbooks submitted a song that's similar to your music so that tris would guess you for it, but your song ended up being more like your own music

that and Keely covering for me made up the 0.1 difference between 1st and 2nd

[shaft.ed]

and here's a bonus thing; https://viewsync.net/watch?v=72h1L2ys2L ... &mode=solo

any chance you were going to do one of these again?
the space music was really great for getting work done

[shaft.ed]

[shaft.ed]

i mean, it's up to tris and hb if you can join late
but you will definitely be down points if you care about the scoring aspect of the whole thing since the first two weeks have already passed

[shaft.ed]

vocaloid anime soundtrack on speed

[shaft.ed]

i'm really glad you submitted the space one. i enjoyed it a lot

^^^
I've relistened a few times over the last week

[shaft.ed]

<.<
>.>

So I think I'll be moving WALRUSMASTER into signups some time next week

in case people needed more WALRUS

[shaft.ed]

shafted when are you planning to host? keely and i have a walrus in the works too but i dont wanna compete with a dear pal LOL

Was going to start up a week from a week depending on signups
but, I can wait until after your run if you were planning to start yours up.
I didn't mean to snipe your work.
And I don't want to overstress the Walrus population, that'd be bad for the ecosystem.

I think the format can coexist well with the current WALRUSes as I'm planning:
-Forum only No Discord
-Round over round submissions instead of front loaded

[shaft.ed]

i just dont wanna cause like walrus drama or smth LMAO

me either <3

also schadd has to run a WALRUSWALRUS once everyone has run one

[shaft.ed]

So I think I'll be moving WALRUSMASTER into signups some time next week

in case people needed more WALRUS

I did the thing

viewtopic.php?f=10&t=87108

come on over if you wanted to send more music links out into the ether

[shaft.ed]

aw, don't think I can make it

[shaft.ed]

oh this was the piano one
sucks to miss it

[shaft.ed]

your submission fucking ruled, shaft.ed

Taraf de Haidouks is awesome
I think I got a little carried away with hellbooks comment that 'it doesnt even have to be a real piano' though

[shaft.ed]

Got a listen of the entries over discord. Really great breadth

don't know if it's my left earbud only, but the mixing on maison book girl is super overbearing on the drums. I think i'd really like it if it were more balanced
liked the king crimson a lot
really enjoyed how Mush's started piano and drifted into synths

i love the old tinny piano vibe where you can really hear the sound of the hammers hitting the strings.

cimbaloms rock like that

[shaft.ed]

I might make it for some of it, but won't be there for all of it

[shaft.ed]

i see what you did there

[shaft.ed]

sorry for the bomb submission
I really couldn't come up with anything for this and thought if I pushed it far enough to the bad it might loop back around into the amusement realm

Also feel bad for Dav, really enjoyed that submission. The kazoos were a great instrumental choice.
Think I have like 4 to catch up on still.

[shaft.ed]

And i thought it was fun that you submitted yours and points wise you're perfectly in the clear because of the score drop

I'm glad it at least got some post listening smiles

[shaft.ed]

thats so many points

[shaft.ed]

woops didn't mean to post that here

[shaft.ed]

excited
think i can get there for the starting bits

[shaft.ed]

I forgot to mention that I paired my two songs because of the theremin-like sounds in both
this was also the reason for the T-instrument task category in my walrus

this was an epic round btw, thanks all

[shaft.ed]

50/50 I can catch the backend

also, that's a great outcome!

[shaft.ed]

sorry, I'll try to use more reputable youtube channels for future submissions

[shaft.ed]

Can't wait to see what you had to say about Thank. It was either going to be the gold or the last place and I had no idea which one -- total gamble.

when I'm impatient for commentary updates, I'll scroll through the discord chat logs

[shaft.ed]

i'd give you one theoretical 0.1 catfit bonus for cibo mattoism and 0.1 catfit penalty for gorillazism

i feel like i missed out on gorillaz
should try them sometime

[shaft.ed]

i'm sad this didn't happen because it would have been cool
but happy it didn't happen cause I would have missed it

[shaft.ed]

:/ prob not gonna make it
but excited to see the results!
and look forward to my mediocre/low placement

[shaft.ed]

Thanks for running this! Was fun
I really like how the results were completely different across the two reviewers, interesting data there

Felt my last round was kinda weak. But I wanted to use the "tris likes piano" loophole

Also noticed I was the only contestant to bump up from dropping lowest submission, whose smiling now? (not me actually cause its about the songs we heard along the way, but you get it)


Hope to get mine rolling again soon, sorry about the deficiency
