Dialogue Song writing session

Jun 19, 2024

    1. Teofil is a modded Doll Leaves Wish with Dika Doll hands.
      Benny is a Miracle Doll Vic on a Dollzone body.

      They are getting together to write some new material for their band.

      Teofil: Ok, let's see what we've got so far.

      [​IMG]
      Benny: That doesn't sound right, did you tune that thing?
      Teofil: Oups...

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Evert... Always... Dances...

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Ok, you just focus on taking notes.

      [​IMG]
      Benny: This lyric isn't making much sense.
      Teofil: Want to start over?
      Benny: Yeah, I think we better.

      Continued in next post.

      Benny: All right, try out the cord progression again.

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: It's a bit dull.
      Benny: It'll sould sound better with the rest of the band.

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Shit in - Shit out. You can't build a powerful song on a weak foundation.
      Benny: Snack break?

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: I don't know were to go with this.
      Benny: It is a bit of a mess. Maybe we can simplify?

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Maybe... This part is supposed to be high energy, but it doesn't go with this bit.

      Benny: Then just cross out this bit and double the tempo of this bit...
      Teofil: Won't that undemine the message?

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Stop it, Benny. This is starting to feel as if we are working on two different songs.
      Benny: Maybe we should? This one isn't working out.

      [​IMG]
      Quiet concentration...

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Ok, this is what I've got.

      [​IMG]
      Benny: No points for creativity, but we can work with this.

      Benny: Here's mine.
      Teofil: But this is just a lyric, you haven't written the music.

      [​IMG]
      Benny: It goes like this: Dadadada- baowaow, dadadada- babadada...

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: You always do this. You expect others to finish your work for you. When are you going to learn that just an idea isn't enough?
      Benny: At least I have good ideas to begin with.

      [​IMG]
      Teofil: Fine, let's just finish this.

      Thank you for looking!

    5. Lillith, do you write music? Or do other creative collaborations? This is on the nose- the trial and error and clash of creative processes and thinking, mediated by compromise. Beautifully organic stuff. Any artist who's had to work with someone else long-term can surely relate. And the expressive posing is wonderful, especially with the angling of Benny's head, to get more out of him than a smile. I love how the details of the space come into play between gesturing, writing, snacks, and general use. You've made the scene come to life as much as them.

    6. Thank you so much for your kind words!

      Yes, guilty as charged. I write music and play several instruments and, perhaps more importantly in this context, have done so with a good number of... shall we call them "personalities"? :lol:
      Musicians are funny creatures and bands are strange beasts. But there is a certain kind of magic that happens when creative people work together and I love that.
