CIEIRMusic

Initially this started out as a new spin on an old idea: shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/octave-of-suspense But it turned into my attempt at making a lot of mind fuck music. Enjoy

For this Christmas I thought of doing one thing since I already done remakes of old Carols as well as my own unique album in the past. For this year I decided to do something that was the total opposite of this: shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/track/the-legend-of-santa-claus So I thought, why not do a legend song on the Krampus and have Light Harmony sing that. For those who don't know. Krampus is a mythical figure that is basically what would happen to kids on the Naughty List on Christmas. Where Santa would give good gifts to good children, Krampus would snatch them away for eternal punishment. However I refuse to believe Santa would go so far as sic Krampus on kids whether they're naughty or not. So in this scenario, I decided to have this be the origin of their Archrivalry. Santa used to be OK with what the Krampus was doing until he saw what the Krampus was actually doing.

Much like how DC has Elseworlds and Marvel has "What If?" I myself decided through music to do a scenario of what would happen if things went differently. In this scenario, S.T. Musician is Dead, Light Harmony is Dead and Dark Divide wins. Effectively destroying CIEIRMusic. The music itself depicts a montage of these unhinged monsters staking their claim on different parts of the world while a darker twisted version of this plays: shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/breathe-deep

The long completed prequel to my Lovecraft Noir series. This expands on the lore a little. I wanted to see how people would react to the characters I established, knowing what they did in the past. As well as give the origin to my favourite character of the series. Eldra.

Need something special this Halloween or the next? A song to play in your haunted house while your neighbours beg for tricks and treats. Look no further than this organ fuelled horror tune.

You're walking down a dark forest and suddenly out of nowhere, Sinister Vampires, Feral Werewolves and slow, but shambling ghouls come out of all corners to get you. What do you do? RUN!!!

My 300th Song on Newgrounds. I decided for my 300th song on Newgrounds to cut people a break from my long stuff and give a small sneaky song, about a gravedigger looking for fresh corpses. Over the years I've tried to do a brand of sneaky music. Usually a jazz based tune that's supposed to emphasize the sneakiness of a character. It's commonly used in old Mystery Shows and movies as well as some kid friendly horror stuff like Scooby-Doo. Yet every time I tried to get a rhythm together for it it ends up devolving into a dark and dreadful song. This one no different, but with the right instruments, I think I managed to convey the sneakiness, of the gravedigger.

Years ago, I made an album on Bandcamp called:  shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/haunted-murder  which was my first all horror Royalty Free Album. A means to give potential horror makers music for their works, much like a lot of my songs, I put stories in this one. In this case, it's about a mother and her teenage son, moving into a house haunted by the ghost of a dead prom queen. All the while a killer stalks the place who may be connected to the murder. To test out the tech I used to create Light Harmony's vocals, two of the songs of that album were remade which can be seen in the bonus tracks of that album.

What started as a standalone song tribute to the Weird West Genre, became an album that has become a huge part of the CIEIR Music Lore. A series of songs depicting the titular heroes ancestors on their own adventure in the old west to combat evil.            

Considering their song stolen be the last straw, Dark Divide decides to settle things with CIEIR Music once and for all. Dark and Divide along with their remaining thugs approach CIEIR HQ and Dark, using an RPG, blows off the top of CIEIR HQ. Specifically the Temple. Enraged, S.T. Musician, Light and Harmony step outside and decide to settle things once and for all. Light takes on the Thugs, S.T. Takes on Dark and Harmony takes on Divide in a three way battle. As the battle rages on, Divide snaps and wounds S.T. deciding that if she can't have him, no one can. That's when Harmony gets mad, grabbing Divide and about to maul her. Dark in a moment of distraction tries to stop her, only for S.T. to stab him in the back with his sword. Crippling him, but not killing him. Just when Harmony is about to sink her teeth in Divide's throat, S.T. stops her. After a tense talk, Harmony relents, but not before giving Divide one last good punch in the face. With the mountain of evidence against them, Dark Divide serves life in prison. Their thugs getting reduced sentences in exchange for their testimony. S.T. and Light Harmony make plans to repair the temple, but in an astonishing surprise, the inhabitants, whom mostly came to pray and interact with each other offer a helping hand, proving S.T. right that humanity is worth protecting and fighting for. CIEIR Music then, prepares for their next adventure.

80% Every movie that's ever been made regarding action, genre, horror, war or even coming of age drama films often involve a conflict of sorts. A fight. Whether it's a streetfight between two people or gangs or an outright war between two nations, the hardest part isn't the fight itself, but rather the preparations for it. Psyching yourself up, gathering whatever weapons you need to carry and outright talking yourself into it. My song here, conveys that.

Much like this song: shanethemusician.bandcamp.com/album/creeping-march-of-war This song was stuck in my head for quite sometime. Unlike Creeping March of War, this one is more positive. I wanted to make a song that involved Dial Tones as part of it, but I couldn't find a good synth to do so, so I compensated by trying to make this one sound as endearing as possible. Guitar, drums, bass, with the synth as the lead. In terms of context the song, itself is all about how something as simple as a phone call, can help you get through the day. Enjoy.

After making the Lovecraft Noir series, I decided mostly for kicks, to make a spin-off based on one of the characters I created. Eldra. The Outer God turned Lovecraftian Heroine as we take a look at one typical day in her life after the events of Lovecraft Noir. So sit back, relax and join her on this journey.

You're walking into a town and all of the sudden a band of crazy motherfuckers starts rolling in and tearing the place up. You can move forward and fight despite the odds against you or you can Run For Your Life and hope they don't notice it. This is the song that plays if you choose the latter. A tense synth heavy epic that personifies the fact that you ran, how far you're going, where you're hiding and whether or not they'll catch you.

A rough experiment I was doing while playing around with audacity. One of the things I like in some soundtracks is when some of the music just fades right in while the percussion builds up. So I tried it on mine. It's a long song, but worth the listen. In this scenario, you're a Superhero, still uniformed and on their way home after an epic battle. What should have been a lovely stroll from the battlefield to your home is littered with bad guys out to get you. So you can't go straight home lest your secret identity be revealed.

Funerals can be tragic. The loss of a loved one, the mourning of those remaining. The fact that the world may never be the same without this person. This funeral is no exception, however in a dark twist, things aren't what they seemed.

The third instalment of my random comedy series, Swear Jar. Where the first was all about simple jokes and the second was on dark comedy, this one save for an exception goes for more mean spirited and political and celebrity satire.
