Because I can't make a good entry to save my life, I'm going to post one of Onuki's musical rants.

Just for the record, I find it difficult to compose anything without it having at least one little minute element of Fortress in it in the end, no matter what. That song has sunk so deep into my appreciation of music that I can't seem to get it out.

 

Luckily, all music is related somehow, and I'm pretty sure that I'm removed enough from plagiarism, so it's all good. You can find similarities in music if you look -- they're there all right.

 

My biggest problem right now is the tritone -- the augmented fourth -- a C to an F# -- I just can't admonish my admiration for this interval. So it's been popping into my most recent ideas just a little.

 

But man, my newest thing is sounding unique. It's got substance. With some nurturing, I may have something worth publishing. Who knows?

 

So if I make a reference to those "stupid tritones" later on, you'll know what I'm referring to. :-P

 

Onuki, over and out

Tritones=amazing. Examples include "Black Sabbath" by Black Sabbath and the opening to "YYZ".
