"Harmony in Imperfection: The Resurgence of Lo-Fi and Analog Sounds in the Digital Era"

In an era predominantly ruled by the pristine and often impersonal digital soundscapes, the warmth and authenticity of lo-fi and analog sounds offer a comforting nod to bygone days. This resurgence highlights a meaningful movement that appreciates the charm of flaws and the unique character of music. Lo-fi, which stands for low fidelity, along with analog sounds, often encompasses music that…

Hi, just sharing this Beat that I made within the last weeks. 

I am producing beats like this as a hobby since 2004 and also make songs form time to time.

For those interested, I use the Akai MPK Mini MK2, Studio One 5, many VSTi and Effects that I obtained mostly as giveaways or very low price and since about two years I use Loopcloud a lot. For sampling I use the internal Studio One Instruments, the Loopcloud Drumsampler or Waves CR8 (amazing tool, you should check it out).

One of the funniest things about “Hatchet Town” is that over the course of three musicals and Nightmare Time, most, if not a significant number Hatchetfield residents HAVE committed murder or been accomplices/accessories to murder in at least one timeline. To the point where if you randomly accused pretty much anyone in town of being a murderer, there’s a good chance you’d be right.

“The spankoffski bros are played by the same actor, they both can’t be on stage at the same time!”

Wrong. Joey has two hands.

May I present the superior solution:

As always, reblog this so we can get better data

Thinking about how Matt Lang mentioned rerunning TGWDLM.

Obviously, there'd have to be changes. Not just in the casting, but in every aspect of the show just due to the nature of how Hatchetfield has expanded and how TGWDLM has aged.

Now that we know for sure that the events in TGWDLM happened because of Pokey, I think they'd design the show even more around the colour blue instead of green like in the original promotional material. This also gives Matt Dahan so much more to work with when it comes to underscoring, think of all the motifs he has to sneak into the scenes now.

Hidgens would have to be recasted, and while there's plenty of options, I think after Workin' Boys he has to be played by Jeff Blim. I don't know if anyone can ever top what Jeff did in WB. Of course, that would mean that Jeff's original TGWDLM characters would need to be recasted as well. Mr. Davidson has not been seen in HF since TGWDLM (save for the small BF cameo), so it wouldn't be hard to find someone new for that role. Sam Sweetly is more difficult because of his appearances in Nightmare Time and the pre-recorded NPMD cameo, but it's impossible to have Jeff play both Hidgens and Sam in the same scene so he would still most likely be recasted.

The only Jeff character that would need to stay the same is General John Macnamara, that's another permanently Jeff character, in my opinion. The show would require some rearranging so that the Macnamara and Hidgens scenes weren't back to back this way. Between TGWDLM and BF, Macnamara went through a lot of character development and Jeff really discovered who he was by the second show, so it would be super interesting to see him interacting with Paul again now that we've learned so much more about the guy.

Now that Hatchetfield has expanded so much, I think it would be really fun to bring in new characters that we've met since TGWDLM happened. They should include Curt Mega as Officer Bailey in Show Me Your Hands, since we know he canonically works alongside Sweetly. Bring in James Tolbert during the PEIP scene as Xander Lee. Even just the people on the streets in La Dee Dah Dah Day, imagine the amount of cameos that could come into play there. Kim Whalen dances in as Becky Barnes, Angela Giarratana is Grace Chasity, all these well-known characters that we never saw during TGWDLM before making small appearances as they were already infected by the hive mind.

Speaking of the La Dee Dah Dah Day number, it would be fucking awesome to get Joey Richter back in the Pete Spankoffski costume for the coffee shop scene to do the hot chocolate boy bit.

I also just think a new perspective on the show will change so much of the context. Like Emma discussing Jane, we now know Jane's family with Tom and Tim. We're now very familiar with Ted's little brother, a character we had no idea existed during TGWDLM (think about Ted's little freak out over Alice being dead at Hatchetfield High...). We had no idea that this apocalypse was brought on by one of the Lords in Black.

Anyways. I agree with Matt, they should definitely bring The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals back for another run of the show.

been fuckin around in photoshop and made posters for the hatchetfield stage trilogy!!

no one understands paul matthews like me. he’s mr normal man. he’s at the center of everything. he has no wants. he wants there to be something. he’s in love with a crabby barista. he would never save the planet single-handedly. he almost saved the planet single-handedly. he wears a brown suit. he wears a christmas sweater. he and emma find each other in every timeline. he and emma don’t like labels. he has never gotten lucky once in his life. he got cloned. he got kidnapped. he is dubiously into pet play. he is semi-canonically bisexual. he is so normal. he doesn’t like musicals.

Who let this man babysit.
