My remixes/composition
I know I said before that I wasn't up for being a composer, but I did settle down for now and did some remixes.
Now this explanation I am about to present not only applies to this remix I did, but also applies to all my other remixes and compositions as well:
I am not a professional musician/remixer and I don't know anything about music and my remixes here might very well be far from complete. The only knowledge and experience I have of music is how I feel about it and what things I think would really combine well with other songs to create a certain compelling feel. Therefore, I have combined a beautiful passionate woman singer's voice from one song with Silver's theme "Dreams of an Absolution." Now if you were to listen to it right now, it might very well appear to you as though this is nothing more than a woman singing repeatedly combined with Silver's theme and that it just doesn't fit for that very reason. Although you can look at it that way since the voice really doesn't match up with the song in terms of rhythm and harmony, you have to look beyond that and see how it actually works so well with the song and expresses a powerful compelling beautiful scene with Silver and Blaze. In other words, you are just going to have to correct the technical flaws in my remix in your mind in order to see the true beauty of it. Also, that woman's voice is supposed to be Blaze the Cat singing passionately (although it is a completely different singer's voice). You are just going to have to not only use your imagination to imagine it being Blaze's voice, but you are also going to have to use your imagination here to imagine that singing track being in perfect harmony and rhythm with Silver's theme. Only then will you be able to perceive my remix the way I do. The voice starts off singing once at a lower volume when Silver's theme arrives at a brief moment of lower volume. This volume and feel then escalates into a higher volume and emotion.
Since I am not a professional or even a beginner remixer or musician and even I can easily see the sheer beauty of this remix I made despite its technical flaws, then people who are professional musicians and remixers or even people who do have at least more knowledge and experience in music should very easily see the beauty in this remix as well despite its technical flaws and should be able to perceive it the way I do. If you still do not agree that it conveys any great feeling at all and that it instead conveys a bland and/or mediocre feel, then it would either be because you are just unable to see past the technical flaws and are unable to perceive how this remix is supposed to be like me, or that it just simply isn't your style of music and/or that you value the technical aspects of music over the emotional aspects of music.
Let me just say here that my main goal in making music was to express emotions and for others and myself to feel profound feelings from them. If, for example, I were to go up to some professional musician who is nice and compassionate towards me and present my songs to him/her, but he/she did not feel profound feelings from them like I did and that this person just casually regarded my songs as something decent and/or something that just needed more work on, then I would respect this person's opinion since he/she is a nice compassionate person. His/her true value in music might instead lie in the technical aspects (such as teaching chords, harmony, etc.) and might only lie in the emotional aspects of music to a certain degree. They might very well value the emotional aspects of music greatly, but it is not the #1 thing to them and they are not as profound as I am and do not have the emotionally profound feelings and perceptions I have (although they could very well have the greater profound perceptions that I don't have in other types of music instead). But I would respect this person's values anyway since he/she is a nice compassionate person who has found a truly good value in his/her life.
However, I value the emotional aspects of music as being the #1 thing and my goal in making music was to share these emotions and for others to feel profound emotions from them as well. But in the case that there are many people who disagree with me and don't experience profound feelings from my remixes/compositions, then I guess there are not too many people at all like me out there. So I guess I am the only one then who has these profound feelings and perceptions towards my remixes/compositions. Therefore, I might as well just give up since none of my intended perceptions and feelings are ever going to get across to anyone anyway. And even if they did through the necessary musical training and knowledge, they would only be casually regarded as something decent and these people will not feel and perceive as profoundly as I do.
Now if you are going to say something to me such as that:
"How does your work convey feeling anyway? If I blow into a kazoo every 5 minutes with the feeling that I am a god, by your logic the music conveys that I am a god even though I'm just playing one note on a kazoo every 5 minutes. If you believe that what you feel can change bad music into amazing masterpieces, you are high my friend."
Then what I would have to say to that would be that it wasn't my feelings that just simply made the songs. Rather, it was the song/melody/remix itself that conveyed a specific feeling to me. If I just simply blowed random notes like you said with me feeling like some god, then that obviously would not make my song anything god-like at all. However, it is the other way around here because it is the melody itself and everything else that has these specific conveyed feelings to me and it has nothing to do with me creating the songs from these feelings I had. I never had these feelings and perceptions to begin with. Only after the songs came to me and were created did I experience these perceptions and feelings from them.
Now if you somehow felt that a few blown notes on a kazoo portrayed some awesome god-like feel to you and that these notes portrayed a feel to you that is greater than even the greatest composed masterpieces in the world, then this feeling would hold true for you. All our feelings regarding music are subjective and hold true for each of us. However, this is only true in terms of the emotional aspect of music. In terms of the technical aspect of music, then those notes would not be the greatest masterpiece since they are nothing more than just simply a few notes and is not a perfected masterpiece. So if you heard a few notes played on a kazoo and said that this was the greatest masterpiece in terms of its technical aspect (such as music theory, harmony, complexity, etc.), then this would be false.
Therefore, since my #1 goal in music was to express strong and profound emotions and that only the emotional aspect of music matters to me, then even if I did get all the musical training I needed and my songs were not the greatest masterpieces in terms of their technical aspect, but were perfected songs nonetheless, then those technical aspects should not matter. All that matters would be the profound and strong emotion that is conveyed from those songs. Again, some people would only judge music by its technical aspect and have less concern/value towards the emotional aspect while there are some people who profoundly and solely value the emotional aspect over the technical aspect. Those people who have the greater value towards the emotional aspect are the people who I wish to share my songs with. I do realize that the technical aspect of music is very important in order to get the conveyed feelings of your songs across to people in the first place. But once the song has been perfected in terms of its technical aspect and you feel very profoundly and strongly from that song, then it's now only the emotional aspect of that song that should matter.
Also, another way to judge if the emotional aspect of your songs is truly great for many people is to see how many likes vs dislikes you have towards your song. If you have much more likes than dislikes from a big audience, then the emotional aspect of your song was something truly great. But if you have much more dislikes than likes, then it doesn't necessarily mean that the emotional aspect of your song was bad as long as you felt that the conveyed emotion from your song was great. It just simply means that not too many people could relate to the portrayed emotion in that song and couldn't relate to it the way you did.
But the only reason why I think people are not liking the conveyed emotions in my songs and are actually saying that my songs don't convey any feelings at all and/or that they convey bland and/or mediocre feelings to them, this would be because I think the technical aspect of my songs is flawed.
As for my remix which involves a woman singer's voice and also a profound humming instrument later on, those were not just a bunch of random ideas thrown together. They were genuine ideas that I thought would go together to convey the truly awesome beautiful feel. But I'm really thinking that the only reason why this feel didn't get across to you is only because the technical aspect of my remixes was completely flawed. So if that was the case, then this is the reason why I just asked you to use your imagination and imagine all those tracks being in perfect harmony and rhythm and to see from your perspective how that would feel to you. But it would seem as though the feel wouldn't get across to you anyway since you either can't somehow correct the remix in your mind so that it is in perfect harmony and rhythm, or that there are just simply some technical flaws with the song that I am unable to see.
Second, I do not live by the values of others and I only live by my own values. We all have our own subjective values in life and we perceive and feel differently. Therefore, you would have no right to tell me that my emotional musical interpretations are not true just as I would have no right to tell you that yours aren't true either. However, since my goal was to portray emotion from my music in such a way that many people would agree with, then I will only listen to people who are anime/Sonic composers who know what they are talking about. If I have acquired all the necessary knowledge and experience in music and have perfected my songs and remixes, then if these anime/Sonic composers were to then tell me that my songs and remixes aren't all that great in terms of their emotional aspect, then I would be inclined to agree with them. But this emotional aspect would only be not all that great in terms of getting across to an audience. In terms of my own subjective life though, they truly would be great compositions and remixes in terms of their emotional aspect.
Now if you are going to call me names such as a moron, then what I would have to say to that would be that what you personally define as moronic is different than what I would define as moronic. From my own perspective, you would be moronic for not recognizing and perceiving the feel of my songs/remixes like I do. Only if you did not have any scorn towards me and said that my remixes/compositions don't convey my intended feel to you, only then would I not have scorn towards you and deem you as moronic. Also, you would have no right to try and change my musical perceptions by saying that they are not true and that I am moronic/egotistic for having them just as I would have no right to call you moronic for your values in life and for me to try and change your values. Your own value judgment that you have said about my songs not being all that great, that would only hold true in your own subjective life. However, my own perceived value towards my songs/remixes with me saying that they are great in terms of their emotional aspect, then this value holds true in my own personal life. Therefore, I have found my own value and true perceived greatness in life. So you go and find your own value and greatness in life and embrace that and don't harp on my own values and perceived greatness just as I would also have no right to harp on yours.
If you respect my values and respect my perceived greatness in life, then I will respect yours. That is my attitude in life.
The thing is, although I understand that the technical aspects and improving upon those aspects are very important in order for the emotional aspect to get across to people and I do appreciate people trying to help me with that, I will never accept and will never appreciate other people trying to make me adhere to their own personal values by telling me that the emotional aspect in my music is not great and that I am wrong for having that perceived greatness. Our emotional interpretations are all subjective as I said before and we have no right to try and change them. If you are going to say something to me such as that you are trying to make me change my emotional perceptions and values towards my songs and remixes to try and make me the better person, then I would only be changing so that I can adhere to, obey, and live by your own values and what you perceive as greatness. I do not live by that and I only live by my own values as I've said before. I would have no right to try and make you live by my values just as you would have no right to try and make me live by yours. Also, as for me repeating certain words, I never said that I was trying to make myself look smart at all. All I'm doing here is just explaining myself. I do not have a wide range of vocabulary and am only restricted to repeating certain words. You would, therefore, also have no right to demean me for that either just as I would have no right to demean you.
You might say something such as that I am only demeaning myself, but that would only be according to your own subjective values. For me, my emotional musical interpretations are great and make me the better person while me choosing to live by the values of others makes me the lesser person. I would only be demeaning myself if I did not listen to the technical suggestions others have tried to help me with. As for the emotional suggestions in them saying that my songs do not convey great feelings, I will never listen to that since that is all subjective. I am the better person for having these emotional perceptions and I would be the lesser person for allowing myself to live under the values of others. If you are still going to call me names and such, then here again, you are still having scorn towards my own perceived greatness in life. I would have no right to call you names for you having your own perceived greatness in life just as you would have no right to call me names. Therefore, all scorn and name calling should end right here and now. We have every right to focus and live for ourselves as long as we are not harming innocent people. We are of just as much value to ourselves as we are to each other and that gives us the right to live for ourselves as long as we are not harming innocent people.
Therefore, I am now going to present to you this Silver remix I did because I know that I am not the only one who feels profound, awesome, god-like, mystical feelings from these remixes. If I feel this way, then there are obviously many other people out there who would also feel the same way as I do. I would even feel this way even if they weren't my own remixes and were remixes someone else has made. There will obviously be many people who do feel as I do and there will also be many people out there who don't feel as I do. My goal is to share my remixes and compositions with people who feel as I do. Therefore, I will present these remixes here for the types of people who do feel the way as I do. I will not only post this Silver remix I did, but I will also post the other remixes I did as well in my later on.
Now here is the version of this Silver remix I want you to listen to because the woman singing forward goes with and portrays a profound powerful beautiful feeling when combined with the reversed version of Silver's theme:
And here is the forward version of this Silver remix with the woman singing:
Now that you have listened to those remixes and after listening to any of my other remixes later on, then if you were to have scorn towards me and demean my profound musical perceptions towards the emotional aspect of my remixes/compositions despite the flaws in their technical aspect, then you would only be an inferior human being only providing that my intended emotion did get across to you. If it didn't due to the technical flaws in my songs, then you are not inferior.
But as for those who do have scorn towards me and demean me, then what I would have to say to these people would be that none of you fans know what true power and greatness is. You just simply disregard my profound and god-like emotional musical perceptions and feelings like they are false, don't exist, and should be scorned upon. The fact that you do not have these profound perceptions like I have whether they be awesome, god-like, innocent, or beautiful perceptions, then that makes you an inferior human being since you are insensitive and do not have a sense of true power, greatness, and profoundness. But that only makes you inferior in comparison to the perceptions I have. If you have profound perceptions of your own elsewhere in life and they are just as profound or more profound than my perceptions, then you would be superior in that sense. But people who are bland overall, are cruel and insensitive, and/or do not have a profound awesome god-like and innocent angel-like perception like me and don't experience feelings that are as profound as mine, then these are inferior human beings regardless of how much they help others and do great things in their lives anyway. But if you are a Sonic and/or anime fan who does feel profoundly from my songs, then you are the better person in my eyes.
Only the anime/Sonic composers know what true power and greatness is in terms of anime/Sonic style music and I will only listen to what they have to say about my remixes/compositions. I will not listen to any of you fans since some of you are insensitive to conveyed feelings in music and do not know what true power and true profoundness is. I realize that there are Sonic/anime fans who are professional remixers and/or composers. But they are not professional composers who compose anime/Sonic style types of music. They instead have a different taste in music and do not know the fitting emotions that my songs convey. Instead, they would toss the conveyed emotions in my remixes/compositions aside like they are nothing and that they are nothing great at all. But if you were a professional anime/Sonic remixer/composer and do somehow claim that you know what types of music fit the environments and characters and that my musical interpretations are false, then I'm not sure I can trust you at all.
The only possible way that my remixes and compositions are unfitting is because of the fact that the technical aspect of my songs is flawed. If that were taken care of, then I can guarantee that the emotional aspect would be very fitting for you. If it's still somehow not to you, then I still won't trust you and I will only listen to and trust those who are anime/Sonic composers who do have the knowledge, profoundness, and experience who know what they are talking about. But if I am convinced that you truly do know what you are talking about, only then would I be inclined to agree with you.
If someone saw true greatness in your work despite its technical flaws, then the attitude they should have is to regard that greatness as something very vital and significant and to encourage and push you further into perfecting these technical flaws for this very reason. They should not just simply toss aside that perceived greatness, casually regard it as something decent, and/or belittle it simply because it has technical flaws and to only instead regard the technical aspects as the main sole importance.
Now you can listen to the greatest classical compositions that are the greatest in terms of their technical aspects. But even so, people like me would not feel profound, great, and powerful emotions from them. Instead, these compositions would trigger simple feelings of calmness and relaxation. Therefore, the technical aspects don't necessarily define how emotional a piece is. Which means that the technical aspects should be treated separately from the emotional aspects in this case. Just because a song is not artistically crafted just as great as another song in terms of its technical aspects does not mean that it is not as emotionally compelling and great or that its emotional aspects should be disregarded simply because its technical aspects weren't all that great.
In conclusion, if you were to just express very strong emotion such as doing nothing but screaming and presented that as a song, then this song would be an emotional masterpiece. It might not be a masterpiece in terms of its technical aspects, but the important thing here is that it was emotional. Actually, it wouldn't be just the screaming that expresses strong emotion. It would also be the melodies themselves. Therefore, as long as the melodies and such portray a strong emotion, then that is all that matters. But as long as there are technical aspects of the song that can be improved upon in order to further bring out the song's emotion, then these technical aspects do matter. But if the song's technical aspects have been fully perfected, then all that matters now is the song's emotion. The perfected technical aspects of this song might not be as great or as artistically crafted as some other musical masterpiece, but it would only be the emotion itself from the songs that matter as I've said before since having more superb and artistically complex and crafted technical aspects does not necessarily correlate to greater and more profound conveyed emotions.
Now as I said before, I feel and perceive profound emotions regarding my compositions and remixes. My goal would be to share my remixes and compositions to those people who also share these feelings and perceptions as well. Otherwise, if there was no one like me and everyone just casually regarded my remixes/compositions as something decent or somewhat decent, then my dream of being a composer/remixer would be completely boring, dull, and bland to me.
Now I am going to continue on here and post my remaining remixes as well:
In this video, this is a psychotic voice combined with heavy metal. It is not a robotic voice that many people might perceive it to be. However, your perception that this is a robotic voice would hold true in your life while my perception that it is a psychotic voice would hold true in my life. The thing is, your life experiences and knowledge is different than mine. You might of perhaps had knowledge and experience regarding "normal" things in life such as techno music, robots, etc. to associate that voice with something normal such as the sound of a robot's voice. However, my knowledge and experiences are different and I have associated that voice with something that is not normal to many people which would be that it sounds like a psychotic voice. When this psychotic voice combines with the heavy metal, it creates the ultimate horrific feel that expresses this character in my video who is about to destroy the planet. Also, this voice does not sound psychotic in an enraged yelling way. Rather, it sounds psychotic in the tone of voice that this voice is being presented in which would be a light tone of voice that sounds creepy and demented:
Here is a Heart and Soul remix by Tpau I did. Her voice sounds like the voice of a powerful enchanting woman witch to me regardless of the lyrics. Therefore, this is why I have also added otherworldly voices with it as well such as a male astronaut's voice and the voice of a supernatural telepathic woman astronaut (which would be a singer's voice from a different song):
Here is another Heart and Soul remix by Tpau I did which I think you might like better. It portrays a dark heavy feel:
Here is a heavy metal Zelda remix I did:
Here is a video that contains and explains the samples I have used for that Zelda remix:
Here is a small sample of a song I have taken from a Zelda game and have risen the pitch to create a different atmosphere (feel) and have applied that feel to an anime here:
Here is another Heart and Soul remix that expresses this character right here:
Finall, here is yet another Heart and Soul remix that expresses a different feel to it. It expresses this particular character in my video:
Therefore, as you can see, I really liked the idea of Heart and Soul combined with heavy metal which is why I have used it in so many different ways to express different characters/environments.
Now I am now going to present to you a composition I did which is also nowhere near from being perfected. The feel that it starts off with is a heroic leading tune which expresses the character Link on his way to defeat some enemies to achieve victory. This tune (feel) then leads into the next part of the song which is supposed to be motivational, epic, and heroic which expresses an action-packed feel in which Link engages in action defeating enemies. An epic motivational women choir is supposed to sing this action-packed part of the song. You then hear this tune play along with the action theme. This feel of the higher pitched tune with the action theme is supposed to express a feel of climax with Link nearing the end of victory. The tune has been raised to a higher pitch to express this feeling of climax. After which, this feel then leads into a closing feel in which this tune plays alone by itself which expresses a feeling that Link has now won and all the enemies are now defeated. I have also reversed my song to achieve a different strange feel and I have also presented a different song near the end of my video to give you a general idea of what my song is supposed to be like:
In conclusion, these remixes and this composition I have presented to you are my "final words" as a musician since I now give up being a composer/remixer for now only until I have my life of full pleasure back to me. I will instead focus my attention on ways to try and recover my lost pleasure and nothing else since that is now the only life worth living to me now.
Edit: I am unable to post the links to my remixes and composition. Therefore, search my username "Matt MVS" on youtube and see the videos on my channel for yourself.
