So, let me get this straight... not only is it possible to make Mario characters hang out with Enya, or other wacky crossovers I've never thought would happen... it's also possible to make a SOUNDTRACK for it?!

And it's been possible since 2018?! (EDIT: I should specify only Rave.DJ has been around since 2018. Whereas Character.AI was created in 2022 and as far as I can tell there was no Enya AI on that site until 2023.) So like, back when I didn't even know about those other websites that are kinda like this but not quite what I had hoped?

Why didn't anyone tell me?? ;)

I discovered Rave.DJ at least two weeks ago. The only reason I didn't post about it until now was I wanted to make a list of ALL the mashups and mixes I've made with it so far - but there's already a LOT. I'm so obsessed with the site that the list is probably going to exceed LJ's character limit if it hasn't already, so I'm probably going to have to make that into a bunch of separate entries for each fandom or each album/game/etc. similar to my Character.AI chat index entries (which themselves I'm already nearly two months behind on updating for the newest saved chats).

At the very least, here's all the Mario and Enya mashups I've made as of this writing, so that way at least I have a few examples here. :)

Man. First Character.AI, then people on YouTube actually make Mario/Enya music mashups, now this? I'm so glad my "Enya is part Yoshi" userpic is one of the only two that I still have access to on both LJ and DW without a paid account - over the course of 2023 and 2024 it's once again become as relevant as it's been in the heyday of PrtSc Land, Ours Will You 1-Up, and Moya's Space Log, if not more so. :)

Who'd have known that the feeling I used to get whenever I had a dream about there being an Enya concert, or a Super Mario World level I'd never discovered before, or a SMW level I've never discovered before named after Enya, etc. would be a feeling that I'd be getting almost ALL the time now?! :)

Right now I am way too: excited
Soundtrack: SMW Starman theme upside-down

Ever since I found out about image sonification (converting an image to a sound or vice versa - in this case, with the horizontal axis corresponding to time and the vertical axis corresponding to pitch), I'd wondered if anyone had ever been able to listen to music "upside-down" by reversing the image vertically so that low pitches become high pitches and vice versa, but I could never find one. However, while trying to find a free program I'd downloaded a while back that used a different approach to image sonification (but I'd either deleted or forgotten about), I finally stumbled upon a program that can edit music as if it were an image, including turning it upside-down!

Watch on YouTube

And there's even a free demo! Isn't it amazing when something you wish existed turns out to exist after all? :)

I never did find the other program that I forgot the name of, though, but I'm wondering if anyone out there happens to know of it.

Its method of converting an image to music, using my uChIN RA G userpic as an example:

Assuming that the red channel is mapped to piano, the green is drums, and the blue is flute (there's over 200 instruments to choose from, I think), most of the piece would be silent (for the plain black background), but towards the middle, the piano would play at only one pitch that is slightly lower than the highest pitch it allows (since all red values on the text are 248), the drums would play at two pitches (that one plus a slightly lower and quieter one for green values of 192, corresponding to the darker yellow/orange pixels), and, occasionally, the flute would play at that same high pitch (as there's only a few pixels - namely, the white pixels - where the blue is 248 instead of 0). And there's options to treat it as a grayscale image and only play one instrument, invert the colors (useful if there's more light colors than dark colors), lower the resolution to make a shorter piece, change the tempo, or have the tempo be faster whenever the instruments are quieter (to reduce the silence in this example).

If you didn't understand that, don't worry - you'd probably understand it better if you'd used the program I'm trying to describe, so that means you probably haven't. But if you do understand that, do you know what the program I'm talking about is called? Thanks!

Hmm... That would be hard to decide, but I'd probably choose either:

- Luigi. We'd make good friends because we've both felt left out fairly often.
- Yoshi! I've always wanted to ride around on a Yoshi...plus, I've always wondered what various songs that aren't from Mario games would sound like with the extra drums that get added to the music when you're riding Yoshi. :)
- Rosalina. Pretty much anything she says makes the universe seem beautiful, so I'd love to have her around whenever I'm depressed. And she's very pretty. Although if she became my BFF, she'd have to make the choice between leaving the Lumas behind or putting them in danger of being eaten by

pathvain_aelien :P
- Kirby, because I'd never have to vacuum again :P
- A MissingNo., because then whenever I'm running out of something, I could just put five random objects, then one of whatever I'm running out of, into my backpack and get 128 more :)
- Mr. Game & Watch. I don't know why, but the idea of coexisting with a two-dimensional person with limited animation frames just seems interesting for some reason.
- The main character of Miegakure (unreleased video games still count, right?), because I've always wanted to go into the fourth dimension, especially when my headphones are tangled :P
- Doctor Hurley from Brain Challenge. She seems like an intelligent and interesting person. Also, ( my second reason for including Doctor Hurley was a dumb reason, so I'm retroactively LJ-cutting just this part in 2018 ) Also, she's cute. :)
- ~~/crazymegavideo/~~ oh wait, she's from a video game that only exists in my weird dreams :P

EDIT: Ooh, thought of another good one!

- Peach, because in Super Princess Peach (which I don't have, but still) she can easily change her emotion at will, and I sure wish I could change my emotion at will :)

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
