I swear this song got stuck in my head for one whole day continuously, and I even started playing this on the piano!

Hi guys! Right now I’m working on music for @RizeUpDev’s vertex studios, and I wanted to share some of the music I’m working on!

In the code there’s another song I’ll work on later, but right now I’m focusing on finishing the one that plays automatically.

Fun facts
  • The unused song was supposed to be the original, but I decided it didn’t fit the opening intro and it also didn’t fit rizeupdevs description of “ominous”
  • The first song is directly inspired from parts of @InvalidProject’s “Holler 'em up” (My favorite one from him! Also sorry for the ping if you don’t like those)
  • I thought of the opening intro a long time ago and it actually came from a long lost song that may be found in…
  • Just kidding here’s the song:
  • https://makecode.com/_TqjFtH79rAvy
  • You may have to listen for a bit to find it, it’s in the boss track and may take a while to recognize it… If you feel scammed, I don’t blame you because it is really hidden and is near the end of the song, and also isn’t the exact same intervals but it’s pretty similar

Welcome to…

DAY 1 OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT KEY INVALIDPROJECTS SONGS ARE IN BUT HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO MAKE A FLAT (???) SO ITS ALL IN SHARPS AND IM PRETTY SURE MOST OF HIS SONGS USE FLAT MINORS

The first 2 songs I will be analyzing are…
“Grave” mistake!
And Dynamical!

“Grave” mistake:

From just the first 2 measures, I can already tell it’s in d harmonic minor and not only because it starts on d, but also because later it plays a C#, which you might say “But that’s not in d minor!”, which in you’d actually be correct. C# is not in NATURAL d minor, but in HARMONIC d minor it is. Anyways, let’s listen to the next measures.

The next “song” block has the note d being played, and then a d minor chord. Which includes D, F, and A all being played at the same time. This alone already proves that it’s most likely in d minor, and later it even plays A#! (Or Bb of course since it’s in d minor) And if you just let the one d play while the song is playing, you’ll notice that it kind of sounds like a “home base”. And if you even look at every measure of your song, you’ll see that most of the notes are in the d harmonic minor scale, AND usually resolve into… you guessed, d!

Dynamical:

The first 8 measures of the song include the note b getting played over and over again, which automatically made me say “b minor!”, but then after just a few measures we start to see some chromaticism. The song played a c natural! Which by the way, isn’t in the b minor scale. So this instantly told me that it was e minor, because guess what! The e minor scale has c natural in it! And the note b is also the dominant key of e! (Search it up.) Anyways, let’s keep listening.

The song adds in the cherry instrument with some pretty driving beats and syncopation (Playing off beat). Then in just the next measure, the cherries play F#! And guess what? That’s in the e minor scale! But we’ll keep listening. Another thing you’ll notice is that if you play the note b constantly throughout the whole song, you’ll notice that it doesn’t exactly sound like home base, but most measures end up starting on b! Well, first of all, that’s because it’s the dominant, and I guess invalid just chose to use it a lot. And second of all, you don’t exactly have to use the root (Or the key’s name) in every measure, songs just usually do that. Anyways, at the end of this pretty sick song, you’ll see that the last note being played is… b? On top of e! Which gives the conclusion that it’s in e minor! Okay, let me explain… basically, if it really were in b minor, the song would end with b and F#, or D natural, since those are in the b minor chord! Which songs usually end on. (Not specifically the b minor chord. But just the key name’s root chord in general.) So to end this worthless rant, Dynamical, is in the key of e minor!

Goodbye for now! I might do this another time, maybe not, but let’s just wait and see!

Hey! One thing to say:
I’m uh…he? owo"

Secondly!

Yeah..I know how to make a flat note, but the reason I never use them is simply preference. Yes, it’s more correct to apply the notes correctly to a scale with it’s respective flats and sharps; But music comes a lot easier when I only have to click the note once to make it sharp–It’s just easier for me!

A lot of my songs are chromatic! It makes a lot of aspects of music making much more fun to me, and later down the line for my more recent songs, attaching the songs to just one key might be difficult!

As for another thing…

You are most definitely right about the mistake in the bass for Grave Mistake! It’s one of the things that peeve me so much to this day; That my first Free Music song had a music typo I never noticed when I first made it!

Lastly, please keep this a little respectful because saying I don’t know how to make flats is a little on the nose? I think this is very silly and funny, and had a nice laugh! I really hope to see more music and inspections from you soon! Cya!

Okay guys nevermind the title (it wasn’t supposed to be offensive btw if you thought of it that way) turns out I guess just most people don’t like using flats? I don’t know why, but don’t think I meant to be rude or something. Just clarifying :grin:

I dont even know what is a flat!

(English isnt my first language so i might know what it means in my language but im too lazy to check)

Well, in music a flat is just the symbol next to some notes that looks like this:
“b”
Or
“♭”

I did not see the original message on the “awaiting approval” list at the bottom of the topic. That’s why there are 2 posts saying mostly the same thing.

it’s an accidental!

…
umm…

so it’s like how in between A and B, there is A# and Bb. That is A sharp and b flat. Hopefully that helps?

DAY 2 OF ANALYZING INVALIDPROJECTS MUSIC TO FIND OUT WHAT KEY SIGNATURES THEY’RE IN BUT INVALIDPROJECT PREFERS TO USE SHARPS INSTEAD OF FLATS BECAUSE ITS EASIER AND MOST OF THEIR SONGS ARE ACTUALLY IN FLAT MINORS SO I CAN SUFFER MORE


For today, I’ll be looking at “Scale Island” and “Beheaded!”


Scale Island

Scale Island starts off with no introduction at all, just straight to the point. We start of with some syncopation and some pretty funky beats made up of the notes C, A#, G#, and G. If you didn’t know, those are the four last notes of the c minor scale, except that it’s Bb and Ab but whatever. You’ll notice that the cherry instrument occasionally hits the note C, which hints that the song is in c minor. You’ll also notice that there’s some D natural and D# (Eb, also in the c minor scale), which already proves that it’s in c minor because there are no other accidentals throughout the piece. If there were a C#, or Db, that would change things up because since the song ends on c, the piece would be in a certain mode of c, but if it ended on f, and usually resolved to f instead of c, then this funky song would be in f minor. But anyways, by looking at the last measure, you’ll also notice a b natural. That’s interesting! (I’m also aware of the b natural in the first 8 measures that the cherry plays) B natural isn’t in the normal c minor scale! Which can only mean one thing, if the song ends and resolves to c, then that means that the song isn’t in natural c minor… It’s in harmonic c minor! Which uses b natural! Now, you might have noticed earlier that I said there’s an A# (or Bb), well that’s because the two parts, cherry and dog, kind of switch between natural minor and harmonic minor.

Beheade- I mean, Blood abyss???

Unfortunately “Beheaded” also is in c minor, so I’ll be looking at Blood Abyss since it has some pretty interesting stuff going around.

Blood Abyss

Finally! An excuse to blast this song all over my room! This is one of my favorite songs from InvalidProject, and am so excited to listen to it! The song starts of VERY harshly, with a lot of half note intervals that are so dissonant your dog will be running to your neighbor’s spooky basement for safety. After that horrific introduction, we hear F natural and then F# after that, followed by the A# minor scale??? That doesn’t exist in normal music theory! Well, if we look at the enharmonic key of A#, we’ll get Bb. And that’s because they are the same notes and blah blah blah. So that already tells us that this energy filled, creepy and bone-rattling song is in Bb minor.

So following that introduction, the song starts off with an interesting melody of C#, A#, and D#. Up in the treble range, you can hear the computer playing what honestly makes me love this song so much, some chromatic notes. It plays A#, B natural, C, C#, then copies the dog, playing C# and A natural (which tells us it’s in harmonic minor). The A natural already tells us that it resolves to A#, or Bb, which means only one thing… It’s in Bb minor!!! Now the song is pretty long, and so is this post, so I’ll be ending the analyzing right here.

Goodbye! See ya later!
