Hmm, okay.

Try listening to this and tell me what you think.

[fabrefactions]

... That was just meshing a bunch of different songs together with a synthesizer in the background.

[fiddlestick]

[Jotting notes down!]

Yes, that's a mash-up. It's a style where someone will carefully put recordings together to make a new song. Like a collage, but with music.

[fabrefactions]

While I can understand the appeal of doing so, is it not better to pour your time and effort into original pieces...?

[fiddlestick]

Not if your talent is in sound editing. Though it is an original piece.

Besides, is it really that different from what Postmodern Jukebox does? It takes songs we already know and present them in a different way so we hear something new.

Anyway, moving on. Tell me which one you prefer:

A. Original
B. Acoustic

[fabrefactions]

... Well. Yes. The postmodern jukebox version reworks it from the ground up and forms a new song in one cohesive unit. It has a theme and sticks to it, even if it is using the lyrics.

That would be my personal preference for artwork, or creating covers of. I'm sure mixing songs into one works perfectly fine in some instances but this example wasn't one I think worked especially well.

... Both of them are nice? In different ways.

[fiddlestick]

Hmmm...interesting. [He may be jotting notes down]

Alright, that's enough for now I think. Thanks Yusuke! This was enlightening.

[fabrefactions]

[ ... ]

That was quite the intense line of questioning. Have you been working on synth-based music recently...?

[fiddlestick]

Aha, I do dabble in it sometimes!
But mostly I was just curious in your tastes.

[fabrefactions]

I'm not sure even I can pin my tastes down. I listen to what I think sounds good, which can be anything depending on the day.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, that just makes it all the more interesting to study.

[fabrefactions]

I hope you are not literally going to pull out a microscope...

[maskreant]

puts Yusuke under a giant microscope.

[fiddlestick]

Haha
Well I guess Akira beat me to it.

[fabrefactions]

Is there an option to not be put under a giant microscope?

[fiddlestick]

Probably not?
Sorry.

[fabrefactions]

I see.
I will... have to get used to such close up scrutiny from friends then.

[fiddlestick]

Heehee.
Don't worry, we promise we mean well!

[fabrefactions]

I trust you to not be vindictive. It is not in your nature, I feel.

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, it's probably not.
I can't even bring myself to make the mean choices in video games.

[fabrefactions]

Because you are a kind and good person, Elliot.

[fiddlestick]

Eheh, thanks.

You're a kind and good person too, Yusuke!

[fabrefactions]

I am glad you think so.

Although you do get quite intense about music, in every aspect it seems. It's nice to see, interestingly, and speaks volumes about your love of your art.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, thanks Yusuke. It's actually partly thanks to you, you know.

[fabrefactions]

Thanks to me?
