Vanitas
United States
Registrace 21. 01. 2010
A musical artist of both original tunes and remixes, combining electronic and classical sounds. I put a lot of time into what I make, though I don't make much and finish even less.
I started composing music in 2005, taught myself music theory, and got a degree in composition. Ain't made a career of it, but I enjoy the hobby.

Nines _. .. _. . ...
A piece I wrote in 2 weeks for the Rapido composition contest. It's supposed to be a "dance movement". Maybe if you have three legs.
I wouldn't call this a melodic masterpiece, but I successfully implemented three ideas I've been wanting to try out- fractal form, nonatonic scale, and morse code.
There are 9 beats per measure, grouped 2+2+2+3. There are 9 measures per section, grouped 2+2+2+3. There are 9 sections per... half of the song... grouped 2+2+2+3. It needed to be over 4 minutes, so I had to do the pattern twice.
Additionally, every single note fits into a nonatonic scale, which is fancy talk for not using C sharp, F, or A. It's a whole-tone scale with every other tone split in two. Nine outta twelve notes, which gives a lot of freedom, but also severely restricts the circle of fifths and encourages unconventional chords like chromatic mediants and various augmented triads.
You'd probably never notice, but the title "Nines" in morse code forms a recurring rhythm for the music.

A jumble of awful noise I threw together in a few hours. Partly as a challenge and partly of nothing better in mind. Think of it as an improv interlude before the big stuff is finished.

I entered a contest to remix this song. Didn't win, but hey, new music. In addition to Someone to Hate by Demon Hunter, this song also uses their song The Flame that Guides Us Home. And as a little bonus there's some of the ancient Dies Irae chant as a melodic motive. Downloads: soundcloud.com/vanitasm/someone-to-hate-doomsday-mix tindeck.com/listen/deeu

Why the fck did I click on this right as it strucks midnight????😭😭😭 Mama Cubone!
The original lavender town sounds like you're going insane in a pure white pillow room. This one sounds like you've finally escaped the cycle by dying in your sleep.
Beautiful, yet eerie, a wonderful cover
The truth about Lavender Town, whether one is willing to accept it or not, it's literally the most sobering place to be, primarily because it's a Pokémon cemetery.
*He didn't deserve to die* *He didn't deserve this cruel fate* *He is simply misunderstood* *He doesn't deserve this eternal torment* *Will you help him?*
Nah bro
What version of lavender town is this
This guy fell asleep for like 10 years and still managed to make such a good arrangement of Lavender Town
I just have discovered this deep music for many years... I enjoyed listening this one while I felt lonely during dark nights
If heavy rainfall in the night was a song, this is it.

Congrats on 1 million views!!!
Also this is inspiring me even more to get cryogenically frozen. I do have faith in an afterlife, but I want to take extra precautions in case the athiests are right!
I like these bells sounding in the song!
i legit never heard this before and i dreamed about this song. the original song and woke up and my vision was purple for a second then it was normal. someone respond to this pls. help...
Face looks kinda..... familiar
Can u feel It in the air tonight?
Absolute perfect masterpiece
Imagine playing this in music class and no one is even impressed not even ur best bro
I'm making a POV where you're fighting for your life from a monster. This audio is perfect :))
its not a claustrophobic sounding song now instead it's a song of loss and mourning
looks like the ghost cubone is going to jump off the screen to scare me!
[Intro] Daylight fades In night we'll gather 'round What remains Is Lavender Town Tend the graves Remember what you've lost What remains Did not come without cost [Verse 1] Broken pieces, broken hearts Put together in the dark Night has come (Broken pieces, broken hearts) The sun above has fled (Put together in the dark) Overcome (Broken pieces, broken hearts) By spirits of the dead (Put together in the dark) [Refrain] Tend the graves (Broken pieces, broken hearts) Remember what you've lost (Put together in the dark) What remains (Broken pieces, broken hearts) Did not come without cost (Put together in the dark) [Verse 2] Easier to just swim down In the gloom upon this town Tears of grief (Broken pieces, broken hearts) For friends and family gone (Put together in the dark) Underneath (Easier to just swim down) The spirit shall live on (In the gloom upon this town) [Refrain] Tend the graves (Broken pieces, broken hearts) Remember what you've lost (Put together in the dark) What remains (Easier to just swim down) Did not come without cost (In the gloom upon this town)
SOOOO THIS IS WHAT CAMMAN18 USED OMG
I’d say the best way to describe this cover is… haunting. Feelings of mournful sadness and the weight of loss hang over you like a dense fog. The shadows of eerie, otherworldly spirits drift, lost, just out of sight.
When played with real musical instruments and not video game synthesizers, this piece of music is a lot less creepy!
Nice arrangement!
The bartender had no wife. Who's that bartender anyway? There was never a bartender in this bar. There was also no bar in this town. This town has a mayor? What are you talking about this town dosent have a mayor. Town? There never was a town here. Are you asking about that house over there at the corner ? There never was a house over there by that corner. In fact you're not talking to a real person right now I never existed you're hearing voices in your head.

This is boss music. Also, I like the inclusion of Flame That Guides!

that moment you forget to save after catching a shiny
good, but would've been better with a crescendo into being loud instead of just slightly ramping up the entire song
kinda sounds like a superhero movie peice of music when something bad happens.
Lavender town wasn't meant to be scary,it was meant to show mourning and loss.It shows how a trainer feels when their pokemon dies and how cubone is sad and scared without it's mother in their life.Lavender town is a graveyard with ghost Pokemon roaming around and honestly the fact they put that in a kids game is oddly sweet for people who have lost someone at a young age yet dark because of the whole death aspect in a game about catching electric mice.
Everyone's ignoring how terrifying the pokemon in the video is.
Best remix I’ve heard
Can we get a 1 hour version?
All us kids grew up with it sounding creepy....now we think we're masters of music saying its beautiful lol
Very nice, this reminds me of the Saw theme !
Who here would fall asleep to this. I wouldh
Imagine you're breaking into a house, you hear strange piano-like noises, it feels nostalgiac, then you realise its the lavender town theme. A man walks out of one of the rooms, holding a bat and wearing a strange rubber mask. You realise it looks a bit like a chicken. You're out on the ground a few seconds later, the last thing you hear, is a faint automated voice, saying, "I really enjoyed that."
Detective Pikachu deleted scene (idea) it actually shows Cubone’s mom being killed. And then it cuts to “Lavender Pokémon graveyard” while this music plays..
Whenever I bring my D&D group to a graveyard or some spooky place devoid of hope, I'm totally going to play this!
Once Upon a Time there was this little boy named silver he used to live in Lavender Town until he died is Pikachu died also then he became a spirit with no arms his Pikachu was sad as a frown same with him he Hans Lavender Town and kills people making their eyes bleed
It sounds so magical, supernatural and sad.
Why did I search this up knowing damn well it would be more terrifying than the original
A lonely grave. It says "MAROWAK" Light the INCENSE? >Yes No You light the INCENSE A feeling of peace spreads through the tower.
