Title: Which music do you associate with our 12 elements?
Post by: teffy on February 02, 2010, 09:51:31 am
My ideas are:

 :aether: Gregorian, Pan Flute
 :air: Acc. Guitar, Flutes, Harp
 :darkness: No metal, Darkness is a quiet element. You can´t steal or bite as a vampire, if you are loud.
 :death: Church Organ?
 :earth: Rock *g*.
 :entropy: Jazz
 :fire: Don´t know.
 :gravity: Hymnes, Brass
 :life: Jungle Drums, Love Songs? Or music like "Circle of Life, Lion King"
 :light: Gospel, choral songs
 :time:Oldies, Scaredgirl suggested,could fit.
 :water: Accordeon, Seamen music, music which "simulates" water

Post by: Ohmega on February 03, 2010, 03:12:10 am
 :aether ???
 :air  FLutes. Instruments that use air.
 :darkness  Some orchestral music with deep tunes.
 :death  Some slow and sad songs.
 :earth Earth is hard, so maybe some hardstyle?
 :entropy Hip hop?
 :fire Burning so it has to be powerfull music, like rock or things like that.
 :gravity Big drums
 :life is harmony so harves and a bit trance. Progressive trance could fit.
 :light  ???
 :time  Music that changes between fast and slow parts, because it is time.
 :water Whale singing?

:aether Gregorian Chant WITH fast Techno effects! :D
:air Fast woodwind section. Panpipes, quick shuffling dance music.
:darkness Very slow, dramatic music. Slowly crescendos into a very loud climax or something.
:death Death metal interspersed with requiems?
:earth Rock! :D
:entropy Steve Reich & Phillip Glass-esque music. :D Looping, random noises, et cetera.
:fire Anything very emotional, passionate, and powerful. Rock and maybe alternative works.
:gravity Percussion and brass section.
:life Umm... country? :D Clear melody and harmony, yaaay.
:light Epic harps and organs with classical and baroque music.
:time Oldies, as previously suggested.
:water Mystical techno with underwater sounds like Scaredgirl said.

 :aether: Techno, naturally
 :air: Drum n' Base!
 :darkness: Gothic and Darkwave would fit perfectly.
 :death: Punk and Hardcore
 :earth: Rock, obviously
 :entropy: Jazz, Experimental, Avant-Garde and Post Metal
 :fire: Latin
 :gravity: Hymns, Chants and Power Ballads
 :life: Folk and Filk
 :light: Pop and Soul
 :time: Oldies and Evergreens
 :water: Ska, Reggea

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. So far I've made couple of  final decisions. :)

 :life Reggae

I think at least one of you suggested this. Reggae is perfect music to listen to while grinding so it has to be on the list. Life seems like the most logical choice because reggae is.. well lively.


 :light Piano stuff (with or without vocals)

I have a bunch of soft piano stuff which I'll probably put in Light.


 :aether Techno

This is something many of us agreed on. Sounds logical.


 :time Oldies

Also suggested by many and again sounds logical.


 :earth Rock (what kind.. is still to be determined)

This is pretty good choice imo. How could it be anything else?


 :water "Underwater" techno

This will fit very nicely I think.


That's it for now. Once again thanks for your suggestions.

We are going to have all 12 + 'other' which is a 24/7 talk radio (I'm using various free podcasts for it). So there will be a total of 13 stations.

I have one more:

 :darkness Heavy Metal

..athough I might change it to :death

Which one do you guys think is better?

Heh, yes that makes sense I suppose. But the problem is that Death Metal is really niche and something 95% of population absolutely hate. I'd like to have all stations "easy listening" enough that anyone can listen to any station without getting a sudden urge to change it. Also I think one "Metal" is enough so we get more variation.

Edit: more Metroid (from OCRemix (http://www.ocremix.org/))

Hmm.. yea, I don't see why :gravity couldn't be Heavy Metal. Although I was kind of thinking of putting Hip Hop to gravity. Hip Hop might not be everyone's cup of tea but it's easily one of the "big" genres so I think it should be included somewhere.

When I look at Heavy Metal, it has Darkness written all over it. Vocals, image, clothes, everything is closest to Darkness imo.

I have to think about it.

no1 is gonna listen to my list :(
Nothing wrong with your list but because of copyright issues, we cannot use any of the music by those artists. What we are looking is genres. When we have a genre, we then find free music for that genre.

I've kind of decided to go with the original plan and build only one radio station because it makes things a lot easier when it comes to programming and such.

Right now the plan is to have a couple of "easy listening" genres and just play them 24/7, while putting Elements original programming into the mix.

We will then gradually add more genres. There is a possibility that not all elements will be represented. If we just throw in 12 totally different genres, it's going to be a disaster that nobody likes to listen.

It might take a couple of weeks before the radio starts to sound like it should because things like radio website are higher priority. Meanwhile I will just play whatever so try to bare with me. :)

I'm feeling a definite Jazz vibe coming from  :air.  Smooth Jazz would fit quite nicely with it, I believe.
Also, for  :fire, I'm going to have to agree with Rock.  Though maybe not Modern or Alternative.  Maybe more like Classic Rock.
And for some reason, the first thing that comes to mind with  :entropy is Weird Al Yankovich....   <_<

Post by: Warkthogus on March 17, 2010, 09:19:30 am
The one I have to bring up is poor ol' darkness.  I've already seen a few suggestions for "emo."  Please, for the sake of it's integrity, don't follow this advice!   :darkness should be calm, pondering.  Think classic goth music.   :death should be mournful, funeral procession-esque sounds, maybe with a bit of chanting thrown in. 

The difference (which was touched on earlier) is the feeling when you attend the funeral of a loved one versus simply staring out into the darkness and thinking.

But in the end:
:darkness != emo
Ever.

For me I play Darkness and listen to a variety of Pipe Organ crossed with Metal..Try Bachs Toccatta and Fugue in D minor down by a Metal Band with pipe Organs, man it will blow you away.

Thats my choice anyway.

Thanks

I love Toccata and Fugue so much ;) It's on my iPod.

Dark, archaic-sounding music like this is perfect for Darkness.

Crossing it with metal sounds innovative.

Yeah we won a national rock contest with it by doing that. It sounds absolutley awesome with a distorted guitar and pipe organ running side by side.

For  :darkness I suggest Gothic, as it fits the theme quite well. For one, the sound is rather dark and gloomy and a great part of the gothics dress entirely in black.

For  :gravity Power Metal/ Heavy Metal Those two go great together and both fit Gravity kind of.

For  :fire Punk seems fine

For  :death some harder Metal, or more towards Opera metal/Symphonic Metal... Or some Horror Movie Background music

For  :air Just use music from instruments that invovle air, flutes, sax, that australian thing (forgot the name)

For  :entropy Something wild that changes rythm over time

:aether is not a "have fun, carefree" element. It is the element of divine order.

 :entropy I still think entropy should be a mixed playlist. Think about it, you hear death metal then suddenly you hear country and after that you hear opeara music after that you hear techno, it really seems to fit entropy.

:darkness - kinda open one, wasnt sure what to put.
:death - deathmetal/heavymetal/metal, goes good in this category.
:earth - Rock, very 'down to earth' and common.
:entropy - because its somewhat frustrating and chaos. Also fastpaced
:fire - its rebellious, and thus fiery
:gravity - gravity>antigravity>upside down>breakdancing>hiphop. there:D
:life - reggea seemed like a perfect fit, dont know why, excuse me while i kiss the sky.
:light - light>heaven>skies>angels>harps>instrumental.
:time - OLDIES, no doubt. SG NAILED it!
:water - ever heard water? excactly.

I really like this suggestion. But whatever you decide, just dont forget PUNK. I read many suggestion without this genre, but its one of the most important ones.
And  :fire is good for Punk its fierce and just imagine a red iroquois. :o

 :life acoustic songs, tribal songs etc

Post by: Norbert Hawk on March 01, 2011, 02:24:46 pm
Well, I usually chose by the Lyrics... So the samples will be fitting in Lyrics!

 :aether : Not much is known about the Aether! But 1 thing is real : Immortality! The Music of Aether shall focus on the immortality, the power! Starting slow in life but getting old and experienced, never to die but getting stronger!

Sample: Prometheus Rising
(
)

 :air : For Air I guess the one that really fits is the music with blowing instruments... But I guess also Pop cause Air is a free-spirited and highly energetic elements, just like the freedom of Pop.

Sample: Gravity Hurts
(
)

 :darkness: Darkness is the real deal! The Music of darkness should represent the nature of it! Mischievous, dark, Strong will, and an unbreakable sense of duty!

Sample: Reckless Youth
(
)

 :death : Dark.. Very.. The Music of Death shall break the moral of everyone who hears it! It should show the world around them that "YES! HEAR WE COME! Fear us....."

Sample: Creeping in my Soul
(
)

 :earth : Rock. Obvious! Earth (Along with Fire) is one of the Strongest and main Combatant elements! The music should be Moral improving, hard, and ground breaking!

Sample: Frontline
(
)

 :entropy This element is all about randomness of life! Madness, Chaos, Insanity! Never to predict what happens and confuse the opponents mind with everything they have, to gain the upper hand!

Sample: Disturbia
(
)

 :fire : Burning songs that have fast rhythm. They should also raise the moral HIGH! A song that no one will resist and shows the pure destructive power of Fire

Sample: Kingdom Burning Down
(
)
 
:gravity: Gravity is one of the mightiest elements, binding everything to the earth, never to let it go again! The Music of Gravity shall be focusing the reality, instead of dreams... just move along whatever happens. Staying on the Earth, in other words.

Sample: Europa
(
)

 :life Life... The Element of Life is encouraging people to live their life to their fullest! This element is all about giving and maintaining a perfect and happy life, and also saving them from Death! The music shall do the same, Encouraging people to live their life the bets way they just can!

Sample: It's my life
(
)

 :light The Element of Light is always looking for Hope! Wherever is light, There IS Hope! The Music of Light shall be enlightening, giving hope in darkest times. Lightening up the path where we go...

Sample: Take me away
(
)

 :time The Element of Wisdom. The Music of Time shall represent the eternity, the knowledge, the wisdom itself! Also must not show too much emotion cause as nearly everyone heard already "The Heart conflicts with the Mind". Or in english: The Emotions clouds your decisions

Sample: Mojave
(
)

 :water Water... The Water is elegant! The Water is swift! The Water is the pure Beauty! The Music of Water should be only those that represent these traits.

Sample: Mezame

)

:aether - Progressive Trance / House.

:darkness - Anything with a dark mood and a decent bassline.
:death - Death Metal or Grunge might be best, but not so popular. I'd go with anything that has a slow beat and a heavy bassline.

:aether Aether embodies that which has always been there. The natural rhythm that's part of our biological composition. What else but epic classical music fits here? Psytrance, I suppose, to embody the unconventional and electrifying. It is the one electronic genre that focuses the most on hypnotising rhythms and different sounds.

Now.. when I say classical, you need not think of Tchaikovsky. The propaganda song I chose for Team Aether is more like it: http://grooveshark.com/#/s/For+The+Craftworld/2oryc7?src=6
This kind of fuse music is prominent in video games nowadays and thus relatively easy to find in series like Starcraft and Warhammer.

As for Psytrance examples, Infected Mushroom are the kings of weird stuff with pieces like Facing:

Lo Ra:

Frog Machine (nice :life reference there):

After 1000 Years:

Spaniard:

Nothing Comes Easy:


And dozens more. I don't think -fast- music is a must, but I do think there has to be ambience. A "mood" if you will, often mystical or at least electronic/epic. In that vein, some Dark Ambient works as well now and then, and even the occasional Industrial piece.
If you want more conventional Psytrance, groups like Astrix and Holy Men are great. (Desert Storm <3:
)
Apparently I could go on forever about this, so I'll just bide my time a bit. :>

Instead of just listing random genres for elements, I think we should do something like what Higs has done, analyzing each element and then assigning it a genre based on its nature. For example, an easy one: Fire is fast, powerful, and dominating, so a fitting genre would be hard rock (energetic, fast, heavy). Of course we should go more in-depth then that example.

And also I would like to point out that we should choose 12 genres that people actually listen to in this forum. Some people have suggested stuff like jungle drums for life, but let's be honest, who would actually listen to that? Instead, genres like electronic or metal are much more popular in this forum, and therefore should be included.

More later, perhaps.

Hm, yes.. Power Metal goes with Fire, that's for sure. Demetori are my favourites there with masterpieces like Innumerable Eyes:
&index=3
And Nuclear Fusion:


There are literally thousands of epic Touhou remixes that fit all genres, as the doujin has millions of fans, and a lot can be found on Youtube and Nico Nico Douga.
Eastern Military History:
&index=50
The best damn lyricless Metal song of all time with a Japanese name I won't bother translating:
&index=45
The Night of Eternity (not Power Metal, but awesome nonetheless):
&index=27
Adrenaline Shooting:
&index=12
Ruins in Hell:
&index=47

And on and on for eternity~

An example of a non-fantasy focused group would be Mastodon. Blood and Thunder is just classic:

Semi-off topic, but this song should be the theme for every Elementer everywhere (especially those who like :darkness ).



Cause your soul is on fire
 A shot in the dark
 What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
 
I breathe underwater
 It's all in my hands
 What can I do
 Don't let it fall apart
 A shot in the dark
 
Life and Light are also referenced in the song. :)
