FFR's Newest Deaf Player

[eMVy]

My name is eMVy, I am completely deaf and I have been all my life.
I love to make music even though I have never been able to hear it myself.
I love playing FFR and Stepmania, I've just never made an account.
But, here I am, I hope we can be friends!

Do you have some pimp speakers and subwoofer so you can feel the music ?_?
Well, welcome to FFR, you're pretty good as is, keep it up breh 8)

[Patashu]

that's interesting haha

because it makes me wonder what kinds of ideas different stepcharts evoke for you

Welcome dude, just one questions -

Why do you make music if you cant hear it? Thats like painting and not seeing it.

Thank you for the compliment, TeRa, but sadly no, I have no speakers for this computer. I see no purpose.

You mean as far as what I think the song would sound like?

I know what is pleasing to the ear, I studied a lot of different sheet music and I found patterns within them and learned to write music, then I had several different instructors teach me to play violin, flute, oboe, and guitar. I can't necessarily tell if it sounds good or not, but I doubt teachers would tell me otherwise if it was not.

basically; what kind of feel you get from it, if you can determine what kinds of melodies/percussion might be present or when the mood of the song might change

for a song that's constantly changing itself up you wouldn't be able to get a good idea of how it plays, but if it's fairly consistent you could glean the individual layers being used and guess at what is what

I've sometimes played charts to songs I've never heard and imagined what they'd sound like but I'm terrible at it rofl, I can't figure out any more pitch than the limited four columns I can see so I come up with these really mechanical sounding melodies

Some songs I have been able to sense a specific tune to what it may be, but with only 4 arrows it becomes hard to tell. I'll think I've found the pattern and then it will switch on me. I would have more luck in that department if there were more directions the arrows could go, thus allowing for more intricate stepping.

So do you have any music samples we could hear?

In essence I could record some, if I had a device to do so.
I'll look into recorders and I'll get back to you on that, Ghakimx.

you're an asshole. It's something he enjoys. That's why he does it. A flaw in someones persons doesn't mean they are not allowed to partake in activities. I for one am glad ambitious people like him are doing what they do.
edit. deaf people also have a high sense of feeling. oh btw. Beethoven was deaf as well. but he stuck his head the the piano and played and felt the music. The best music is felt not heard

Ah, albaneesk8r, as he was out of line in saying that, I am quite used to it and didn't take any offense. He was simply curious as to how it is done, because he does not know what it's like to be without a single sense. And I appreciate your saying that, it does mean a lot.

OK i wasn't out of line asking that question at all. It was merely a question, if you cant hear why do you do it?

Now you have explained it - fair enough.

albaneenesk8r don't jump in there with the "you're an asshole" ****. Why do i have to tread on egg shells around someone with a disability im sure they wouldn't like that.

Actually Beethoven wasn't deaf until the 7th symphony.

I was going to say something like this though. Anyway, this is truly inspirational. I'm pretty sure most deaf people wouldn't even attempt to play rhythm games. And yet you're on here, an exceptional player by anyone's standards. The community is lucky to have more amazing people like you. =)

Sheesh, take it down a notch. Clearly it wasn't meant to be offensive, and it's a completely valid question. The way you responded makes it sound like he said "You're deaf, so you're not allowed to create music".

Welcome to FFR! I hope you enjoy your stay--you seem like a person who is serious about this game. =)
