The Voice of Labor posted:so having watched a few of those holmes shows the bbc did in 1984 and having listened to some pfitzner and bruch violin music I have come to the conclusion that what holmes mostly liked was fast conversations with a robot (GPTCHat) quote:
maybe this has helped inspire me

in the sherlock holmes books, are there any times when Sherlock Holmes is said to be listening to a particular piece of music, or listening to music in general?
In the Sherlock Holmes stories and novels written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, there are several instances where Sherlock Holmes is said to be listening to music or to have a particular interest in music. Here are a few examples:

music is a puzzle, a lament configuration to be unlocking calling down the eurorack cenobites with their 1/8'' cable hooks and chains. music is a mystery, to be solved with simple bass lines and swaying reggae beats.

the skeletal framework of the track is starting to take shape. this is, most certainly, more than a 3 pipe problem. I need some inca roads intro synth noise. think I'm gonna dig up the power supply for the karp odyssey and fiddle some sliders on that

I started patching today. I have some ideas, we'll see. I've barely messed with DAW mastering, I have been learning via hitting record and doing various live things after setting up patches, and it occurs to me that one logical way to extend that flow without touching a DAW would be.... a 4 track like the CF-based one I bought off Petit Choux in November

1890, the phonograph had just come out so I'm thinking once I get my audio perversion of bruch totally digitally upright and correct I'm gonna run it through some trashy eq and add a bunch of noise and warble and make it sound like its being played back on a wax cylinder

Here's some audio terrorism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vt4PSq8jpc I've just been patching to test out new gear. I'll eventually figure out loading midi files up and mangling some Bach for your listening discomfort.

Right now I seem to be patched into some weird tropical house land and I like it so I am trying to get something recorded before moving back to this. A silly idea I had last night was "Holmes House Ambient: Study To Library To Bedroom" in the style of cEvin Key's "The Ghost of Each Room" -- a reverb heavy sonic journey through what I imagine Holmes' apartment at 221B sounding like, making aggressive use of cassette tapes, including violin from the German masters, the sounds of cocaine use and books being shuffled, etc. gently caress, if I buy like 3 more walkmen I could do the whole thing with looptapes.

knowing absolutely nothing about your setup, I'm guessing that it's choking on the multichannel, multipolyphony nature of the midi files. you're gonna need to separate it down to one channel then force the track into mono. gonna have to use the computer lots. gonna have to use the computer so much you might as well make your music on the computer. like a sane person

Well i dont know anything at all about sherlock holmes. I'm too much of a gamer to tolerate tv/movies/books/plays(??) so I've never encountered a sherlock holmes thing. If any of you goons would be so kind, can you share something funny or interesting that you know about this topic? I'll be submitting some poo poo regardless (... 99% sure) so i wont be too bummed if you all ignore this

I'll be submitting some poo poo regardless (... 99% sure) so i wont be too bummed if you all ignore this sure. I read a bunch of these as a kid. Holmes is an obsessive detective who can discern complex things from minimal physical evidence. "Ha ha, these footprints show he walked with a limp while using a cane in the left hand and carrying a large object, probably a rug, over his shoulder". Watson is sorta the Scully to his Mulder, except Holmes is generally right about things. He's also into heroin and cocaine as focus drugs, but somehow Watson worries about his tobacco use more. Has a signature hat with brims in both directions. Conan Doyle wrote a lot of these and then attempted to kill Holmes off in a story where he and his arch-nemesis thief villain Moriatry achieve mutual death falling off a cliff. The public went batshit and demanded more, and Doyle basically retconned that ending and wrote some more Holmes stories. For whatever reason, The Hound of the Baskervilles is probably the best known holmes stories. It may or may not involve a hound. Common media available for samples, etc: Archive.org collection of Holmes radio shows: https://archive.org/details/sherlockholmes_otr PBS Masterpiece Theater take: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/shows/sherlock/ Recent Benedinct Cumberbach vehicle: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1475582/ Common Holmes memes: "Elementary, my dear Watson" -- said when Watson comes to some conclusion and feels proud of himself but holmes already thought through it "indubitable!" -- no idea how often holmes said this in canon, but Data sure liked to say it when he was pretending to be Holmes on TNG. Random thought: in 2023, upon arriving at a crime scene, London Police would just assume Holmes was one of the perps and shoot him dead without asking any questions. "You can crush us, you can bruise us, you can even shoot us, but oh-oh the guns of

Cabbages and Kings posted:Common media available for samples, etc: If you search youtube for "sherlock holmes television" or "sherlock holmes movies" you'll get tons of old black and white adaptations. Most of which helpfully are of an era when there's only background music in key scenes, so for the most part it's easy to sample dialogue or whatever takes your fancy.

I was going to go with that for samples, but the dude who played holmes in the 80s bbc thing was too good not to use as a sample source

If we’re trying to connect electronic music to Sherlock Holmes, Doctor Who is both British and had a really cool electronic title theme, and the Doctor isn’t that far off from being a detective. So maybe someone can do an alternate reality where instead of Doctor Who we got Sherlock Holmes. (I’m not feeling it right now, though.)

I had no idea this stuff existed and I've been digesting it for most of this week, it's not really what I would decide to make when I get up in the morning but it did make me realize that "soundtrack music" is super rad and maybe I should go all in on the gimmick. Usually I just listen to actual soundtracks. But they are always too short or jump around too much. It's nice to have a 5 minute soundtrack groove.
