Life in Yellow is an ambient musician who released his first album in 2014. He's a linguistics major, which influenced his first album quite a bit.
!! Discography:
* ''Old European Hydronymy'' (2014)
* ''L'Appel du Vide'' (2014)
* ''Olgoi-Khorkhoi'' (TBD, most likely later in 2014)
!! Tropes applicable to Life in Yellow or his music include:
* EightiesHair: He's quite fond of the mullet, a quarter-century after its heyday.
* AlbumFiller: On both albums released thus far.
** For ''Old European Hydronymy'', "*Salm-" [[PlayingWithATrope plays with this]]. Despite being one of the three "core" pieces of the album (insofar as the concept is concerned), it was the last song he finished work on for that album, and it was a rush job because he wanted to get the album out the door.
** On ''L'Appel du Vide'', "L.O.I." was originally a filler piece. It kind of grew into a life of its own, and Life in Yellow actually included a remix as a bonus track on the release.
* AllThereInTheManual: The backstory to ''L'Appel du Vide''. It's a story about a soldier in the future who comes home to find that his home might as well be another planet.
* AltumVidetur: The title of "Memento Mori".
* BookEnds:
** ''Old European Hydronymy'' begins and ends with songs for the Weeping Elves.
** The first and last song of ''L'Appel du Vide'' have pretty much the same core, with the instrumentation swapped around.
* CommonTime: Played straight for some songs, [[AvertedTrope averted]] (or possibly [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]) for others—Life in Yellow typically works with Garageband, and while only three time signatures[[note]]3/4, 4/4, and 6/8[[/note]] are supported by the app, he does manage to work in songs based on, say, 5/4 by reëvaluating the tempo and using entire measures as "beats".
* ConceptAlbum: His work thus far is intended to be these, at least to some degree. The "concept" may be more thematic or tonally poetic than concrete; his debut, ''Old European Hydronymy'', is a loose concept album based around the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_European_hydronymy Old European hydronymy]]; ''L'Appel du Vide'' is a concept album about [[AllThereInTheManual a warrior returning from Mars]].
* ElectronicMusic: Pretty much everything he makes.
* EpicRocking:
** Of the two albums so far released, ''Old European Hydronymy'' has "*al(m)-" at 11:29, "Still Life of Rain in A Minor" at 10:06, and "Threnody for the Weeping Elves" at 10:13.
** Only one track off ''L'Appel du Vide'' qualifies—"Jamais Vu", clocking in at 11:07.
* GratuitousForeignLanguage:
** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] for ''Old European Hydronymy''—three of the song titles are reconstructions of roots from a putative language, long since dead.
** French and Latin on ''L'Appel du Vide''; the album title and "Jamais Vu" come from the former, "Memento Mori" from the latter.
* HiddenTrack: Perhaps not a hidden track in the usual sense—while it's not shown to people buying the release on bandcamp, ''L'Appel du Vide'' includes a bonus track, a d'n'b-influenced remix of "L.O.I.", visible after purchase. It's also openly streamable on Life in Yellow's [=SoundCloud=].
* LuckyCharmsTitle: [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], believe it or not, in the case of "*al(m)-", "*var-/*ver-", and "*Salm-". The song titles are based on concepts from the field of historical linguistics[[note]]the asterisk means the form is not attested (''i.e.'', we have no written record of the actual term); the hyphen, indicating that it's a part of an extensible root[[/note]].
* MementoMori: It's even the title of one of the tracks on ''L'Appel du Vide''.
* MinimalisticCoverArt: The cover for ''L'Appel du Vide'' is black text on a slightly off-black background.
* NewWave: A noteworthy influence on his music, given that he is a fan of Music/ThePolice. "New Wave" also happens to be the name of a synth voice in Garageband, which Life in Yellow is quite fond of using.
* ShoutOut: The "Weeping Elves" and the title of "Hesperic" are nods to Jörg Rheimeier, a [[ConLang conlanger]] who goes by the name of "[=WeepingElf=]". The Hesperic language family is part of a theory/thought experiment of his, related to the actual idea of the Old European Hydronymy.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: ''L'Appel du Vide'' is much more heavily string-based[[note]]insofar as Garageband can play "string" instruments[[/note]] than was ''Old European Hydronymy''.
* SynthPop: Another influence, especially [[TheEighties '80s]]-type synth pop. Usually you can tell when there's a synthesizer in the mix.
* TriumphantReprise: More like [[{{Pathos}} Pathetic Reprise]], and done so on purpose. Several motifs from ''L'Appel du Vide'' show up in later pieces of the album, notably the BookEnds that open and close the album. That doesn't excuse "Calling Home" ripping off most of its key melody from ''the immediately preceding song'', however.
* UncommonTime: One can make points both for and against some pieces being actually in, say, 5/4, or in CommonTime with the whole measures used as beats.
