Hmm yeah you're right. For some reason sharp keys just don't sit as well with me when there are more than a few of them.

Fuck logic, that shit is boring, lame and does not always support my opinions.

Same with me. Can't read F# for the life of me.

I would definitely prefer five sharps over seven flats, but I don't see either of them as troublesome.

Alright, I started Life, but the note lengths are getting weird. Is this really 4/4? Here's what I have so far, and here's the original:

Jompa

Yes it's 4/4 all the way.
btw, the rhythm of that figure you've arranged so far is not "quarter tuplet + quarter tuplet + quarter tuplet", but "dotted eighth + sixteenth tied with eighth + eighth".

Are you sure? Then there must be some weird rhythm later. I started going further and updated my link, but when I slow the song down, the quick notes are not 16ths or I am not counting right. I think I counted about 18, but I may be wrong.

Jompa

I am absolutely sure. The drum beat should make it obviously enough.

Then what are the quick notes? The 4/4 time signature has sounded right from my first guesses.

Jompa

They sound like normal sixteenths to me. Exactly where is it you are hearing eighteen instead?

My imagination.  :P I can't believe I just did that.
I feel so stupid

Stop touching yourself. Just kidding. I'm not at all serious nor do I mean that at all. Please don't take it personally or seriously.

Not bad judgement!,
but it's actually in C dominant phrygian, which means C-major.
Later inn it goes to some tonality of D-flat which at first glance seem kinda wholetone-based (though not all the way) - anyways, it's Db-major here!
And then it kinda finds its way back to C dominant phrygian again.

Ok :)
What about the stupid accidentals? They are gonna be one heck of a problem. How about I post it on my page...
