and i don't know what i'm scared of

Until the 9th of Feb, you can download the tavern songs from DA:I for free! It's totally legit and everything! here

They included the sheet music as well, so just imagine I linked to a .gif of Rikku doing that dog paddle thing. Also I've yet to hear one of them all the way through or even clearly (but I blame that on my TV rather than DA:I's sound or my ears).

So. In the spirit of sharing!

Meanwhile, ( the usual: spoilers )

Other than that, I spent today plinky plonkying about learning some more music theory. It makes more sense now! I don't know why I was so confused about intervals! But I am still stuck on the part of how I get actual music from this (I'll get there. Eventually. I'm going to get my keyboard out and plink plonk on that, because I think making the noise works better for me than placing notes and hoping it sounds OK).

And I got LMMS to sort of work how I want it to! I find the piano roll horrible and confusing, and I wish you could rearrange where the keyboard is shown, because up the side of the window makes no sense to me (even though I see why it's put like that). So now I have this horrible thing with a REALLY annoying drum beat, but hey! it's totally a thing! Now I just have to noodle around some more, and build on it, and see if I can get it to go where I want it to.

Also, I'm working on those posts I said I'd write (for anyone who missed it: my old job; experiences at art college; and DA and mages). I would've got on with it but mood so flippy floppy right now.
