17 Votes Yea (Please share if you offer a character!)
8 Votes Nah
19 Votes I used to :)
11 Votes I want to learn an instrument! :D

The Brainrot will not cease

ANYWAY yeah toss me a character and I'll try my best to assign them a fitting instrumental piece! It'll either be classical, contemporary, a cool instrumental piece from a video game or movie or smth but it'll all be orchestral!

Rules
- I have a life outside TH lmao so responses may or may not be slow. I'll close this temporarily if I need to catch up on life lmao
- Keep to one character please! You can give me options though but I will only choose one. If you wanna come back later for another OC I'm fine with that too just lemme assign a piece to your first/previous character first.

Just General Stuff
- I can base my selection off of your character's lore, design, vibe, or all!
- If you have a favorite classical/contemporary composer or several (like me lmao) please share it! I'm a Tchaikovsky, Mahler, and Stravinsky enjoyer :)
- The poll is optional but I'm curious. I play the flute (nine years) and piano (thirteen years)!

Astrid Lightguard atacalepsy

hands her over

and i honestly don’t know enough to say i have a favorite FJEJFJWBD

OrcinusOrca

atacalepsy OKAY HI I love Astrid's backstory, how the Tower spoke to her literally gave me CHILLS and the fact that her powers are sourced from a family of spirits is so interesting to me. I'm stuck between two right now so Imma just give you both :)
Danse Macabre - Saint-Saens
The Darkness Lifted - Gareth Coker

Edit: OMG I'm so sorry the link didn't work the first time my eyes are broken lmao

Model 3 2balt

OH HELL YEAH! I'm excited to see what you would assign 3.

Daiki [大輝] SinKiske

Hello! How about him ^_^ he doesn't have a backstory written yet so sorry, but his personality is written there!

Also I love Tchaikovsky! The nutcracker and swan lake are my favorite ballets And I've danced in the nutcracker a few times!


.☆ Neptune ☆. hsin

I'm curious what you'd choose for them if you have the time!

I'm horrible at playing instruments rip so I'm just a music enjoyer

Commander Zagreus Lim AsianTapWater

gotta get into more orchestral music. curious what you'd assign for Zag :D

Axel apodoforcas

interesting 👀

i played piano for 4 years in childhood, violin for 5 years back in school and i’m probably at the very beginning of picking up guitar

Lord Valerin Vael'zar Roheryn

I'd be curious to see what you'd suggest for him if you have a chance ^^

Anhui NinjaNightCrawler

I drop for you, Anhui, who also plays the piano like me :P

2balt OH Model 3 is VERY interesting. I really wanted to touch that "fun performer with a touch of something sinister", and I've always associated the sound of a marching band with "fun but imposing" (because I'm biased lmao) so I'll assign it this awesome marching band arrangement of Granada by the Arizona State University Sun Devils marching band! One of my favorite marching band pieces ever lmao. Also careful if you wear headphones it gets. Loud.

SinKiske DUDE no way!! I have such respect for ballet dancers, you rock   !!
Anyway for Daiki, I'll assign him Manha de Carnival by Quincy Jones from Black Orpheus. Hooray, he gets the first jazz orchestral piece! I think this captures his laid-back but confident personality. Also his badassery in a subtle way.

hsin Oh Neptune's gorgeous, I absolutely love ray/skate mermaids they're AWESOME!! I'll assign them Balaenoptera Musculus by Austin Wintory from ABZU. I can't think of a better ocean-dwelling stargazer guardian song than this!!

AsianTapWater oh hohhoh I already knew what to assign Zag before making this thread lmao HE GETS MARS BY HOLST!!!!

Theodore Ipswitch corncob

would love to see what you've got for him! ty in advance <3

regarding instruments, im one of those people who tries to pick one up, gets frustrated, and then tries another, ad infitinum... :') i'm trying to get better about it. the one i return to most often and which i have the most experience with is the 7-course lute - which is the one i want to learn the most, but the one i find most frustrating :( my hands are really small and the neck of the lute is wide. it's really hard for me to press the courses correctly for that reason. sometimes i wish i had tried mandolin instead. guess i could still pick up mandolin down the road... add it to the pile of other musical bits and bobs in the house     

oh! composers... i have a lot i really like, but i'm extremely fond of Jessica Curry's work, especially the soundtrack of Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. just breathtaking, gorgeous music. Vincent Diamante's work on Sky: Children of the Light still brings tears to my eyes sometimes, too. as far as classical, though, i really like Debussy - arabesque #1 is my favorite piece, by far. sounds like trickling water, makes me think of a spring day in the garden with gentle rain... makes me feel at peace.

edit sorry i just realized how long this is, apologies for the ramble adjkslf

Mal MidnightCapricorn

I'd like to see what you assign her!

hsin

AAA thank you so much! That's such a beautiful song and it fits them so well omg, I especially love the part where it picks up around 1:30!!

Mediator ✮ IdiotScout

YOOO I play Trumpet and a bit of piano!! I used to play Violin. I'm trying to learn the Ocarina!! I was in Band Ensemble ever since we were given the option, and I can't tell you my favorite classical artist bc I love and enjoy too many of them to just have one 😭 I'd love to see what you have for this gal, or if you want someone else, I'll offer you this fella, or this guy! Thanks a lot for the chance!! 🗣️❗❗🦐🦐
