In my many hours of insomnia, I have decided to transcribe Touhou songs into orchestral pieces. Wish this music major luck.

By ear?

Yes by ear. I have Mukou's theme mostly done. I just need to add in timpani to make it more epic sounding and maybe a cadenza so it doesn't end up sounding like a pure transcription. Oh yeah, would it be better if I just made the file as a giant .pdf or would /jp/ prefer a separate pdf for each instrument?

Shit we should record some of our pieces online then get someone to compile them together.

Seperate pdfs are easier to read and play, so...

Yeah, just make a .zip file with a folder containing each instrument's .pdf

Good luck, OP. If I could, I would. Alas, I'm severely lacking in musical talent.

>> No.1222845

music major? what school do you go to?

>> No.1222846

Good luck.

I remember when I was 14 years old and transcribed my first piece of music. I believe it was the dragon battle theme from Breath of Fire 3. I couldn't sleep for days afterwards; I listened to the song so much that it constantly replayed in my head.

I guess your insomnia is going to be worse now?

I know that feeling. I like Touhou music for being non-sticky.

If you don't use Sibelius already, there are a few torrents up for it. I think it allows you to save in PDF format. If you do use Sibelius, save a .sib file and rapidshit it or something, if not a PDF is fine too.

San Francisco Music conservatory.

Just came back after 3 hours of sleep and I'm done adding in the timpani for Mukou's theme. Added a optional place where a cadenza for flute can be played near the end and about 5 bars in to finishing a violin solo.

Sounds good. Throw some East West orchestra synths on there, and make it a song.

But are you bad enough dude to get an orchestra and actually record it?

You, sir, are an inspiration to us all.

I'm lacking in musical talent, myself, but I happen to have a lot of friends who would probably think this is the coolest idea ever, all of whom play in a professional orchestra. I'm getting all over this shit the second those .pdfs hit the net.

I already play Toehoe songs on guitar. I don't think a heavily distorted guitar is part of an orchestra, but maybe I can join the strings if I play it clean.
