Hey everyone, Troisnyx writing.

Today's prompt is "friends." A prompt like this would entail collaboration with a friend, so I brought along @Codefreq, who penned the ending -- from which this entire piece grew -- as well as nearly all of the strings. We do plan on doing a larger collaboration down the line, but I figured it'd be wise to start with something small, to understand what our workflows would be for a short thing to be done in a short span of time.

We're especially heartened by the fact that we did this with completely different setups -- it is always possible, even if harder and we find workarounds to compensate for the fact that we have different sounds and different DAWs.

Today is a solemn day for me, with it being Good Friday -- but this time has also made me think of my friends, and especially those with no one to pray for them, and those who have died. I write this piece thinking of all of you; you are many, and you know who you are.

I don't have the energy to add more to this piece aside from it being an ersatz Well-Tempered Clavier. It's a little messy, but I hope that it conveys that I am thinking of my friends.

Tin3Sn Tessarakoste Talks Part 39: We're almost there, just one more to go!

What you've made here is SUCH a pivot from the last one, but in a very meaningful way. The other one was about the loss of what you truly cared about, and this is one is about the memories of friends who truly care for you.

This entire composition is sublime. It's anime-tiered levels of beautiful and wholesome. Maybe the most anime-esque song in this entire collection. In that case, it's no wonder this makes me feel something deep inside me. As someone who's just starting to make friends in his adult life, you capture all the messy and giddy beauty in your experiences with them that turn into memories. This also has a huge springtime feel, and it's very appropriate for this time of year. When Winter, though beautiful in its own right, subsides to a more typical ideal of beauty. Something I myself actually am growing to love as I feel more free.

This is not pure Troisnyx, but it's pure meep. And I love it. See you tomorrow for the grand finale, Trois.

I agree with the commenter below in that this has a very wholesome feeling, and has a nice rolling movement. I really like that sonic glitter that the glockenspiel creates as well! Very pleasant composition! Five stars for sure!

Not bad. Has a wholesome feeling to it. Friends are hard to come by, but when you get them, they break their backs for you.

So excited to see you frontpaged, Trois! This is so beautiful. My initial thought was that this is a great example of simplicity winning out over complexity- or “less is more”. But then, the song evolves quite a bit of complexity as it rolls along so it’s not quite apt, still. You’re one of those pianists that plays in a way that takes me back to the music I loved as a child. George Winston is coming to mind on this one. This has a very “Spring” feel to it. Friendship in Spring, conveyed via music. Very well done, madam.

Edit: realizing now that this was in my friends’ feed, not the featured feed. Sorry for the false alarm there. I’m just an idiot. 🙄

Troisnyx responds:

I did get FP, just not for this song, but the one after (yatse ya).

Thanks for the kind words — but I need to stress that this entire song came to being because of Codefreq's writing of the ending; I only followed suit with the rhythm and flow he started. ☺️
