Pastel Excursions

These are just some things I made (mostly) with pastels. They're more me messing around and trying to understand how to use pastels than actual pieces. 

                                         

I guess I'll actually be watching anime?

This is an update post of sorts I guess.

I haven't  been doing much with music, so that's on hiatus. Lately, I have been dabbling with pastels and exploring them. I will show some of the pieces once I get them scanned in. They are all only vaguely thematic as I have spent more time exploring the medium itself rather than making new pieces.

Secondly, I'll be watching some anime this coming fall season.

Fall 2013:
Kyoukai no Kanata
Non Non Biyori
Strike the Blood
Kill La Kill
Coppelion
Golden Time

and others, but only if I somehow survive that and my coursework.

Betraying American Culture, one Update at a Time

"Disclosure" by Collapse Under The Empire is an upbeat yet lovely fusion of electronic and piano music. It's reminiscent of the times 65daysofstatic are a little light on the guitar but heavier on the electronics and piano.

"Omou Mono Doshi No Saikai" from the show Chuunibyou is a pretty neoclassical song, which doesn't distinguish it much at all, I know.

"Astronaut" by Luna is a fuzzy-sounding keyboard-heavy indie rock song. It's like a mellow power pop song.

"Snowfield" from the anime Clannad is an atonal ambient piece that evokes sadness; high pitched instrumentation further cements an ethereal atmosphere.

"Slow Curve" from the visual novel Little Busters is a hyperactive melody, filled with enough piano and organ to lull one to sleep, but too fast to be called a proper lullaby.
