The SBC Community Mixtape #13

[HawkbitAlpha]

We're back, y'all! It's time for the 13th round of the SBC Community Mixtape, the running tradition in which we all grab our favorite ingredients to team up and cook some high-quality musical stew. This time, though, we're going to need to pack up more than our usual load, as our theme will need us to prepare to hit the road for...

THE GREAT ADVENTURE

Most songs that we can all name are <5 minute long pieces that tend to stay in one gear for their entire runtime. Well, that's not quite what we're looking for this time. This mixtape is all about the epics, songs that take lots of crazy turns throughout, and could even be considered multiple tracks glued into one. In other words, the kind of vast, seemingly-endless things that feel like embarking on the audible equivalent of a grand adventure story on every listen. While they can be of any length, I tend to find that, the longer they are, the better!

As always, the rules:

• Length limits per person: due to the nature of this mixtape's theme, I'm upgrading the total submissions limit for this one to 45 minutes per person. (This site is great for calculating the times.)
• Try to post your submissions using a Spotify playlist. If this is not possible for you, at least make sure that all of your submissions are available on Spotify.
• Joke/troll entries can and most likely will be excluded.
• No repeat entries (can't submit the same thing as somebody else).

Tentative deadline for submissions is Saturday, September 16th. I expect this mixtape might get a little bit out of hand, but until then, I'm off to hunt for some symphonies to check out.

Once again, time is of the essence (in other words, work is in less than an hour), so no lengthy track notes for you!

What I will say is that I tried to go for songs that felt adventurous both in tone and running length and to have some sort of narrative arc running through the playlist as a whole, inspired by WhoBob's entry in the very first Community Mixtape, tbh. Also, long songs are just fucking great in general lel. Well, here you go:

Already DM'd this to Hawk, but I'll post this here as well. My submission revolves around the series of Vocaloid songs, Evillious Chronicles, particularly the Story of Evil part of it. If you've ever listened to Daughter of Evil or Servant of Evil, this is where those songs are from!
