@Havok, good stuff.  Made me smile, as they totally fit the theme!     I really like your instrument choices, and I love dissonance, but some parts of the melodies seemed to get a little TOO off the rails and dissonant.

To The Wayside, a collection of forgotten, abandoned, and miscellaneous tracks. Some songs are amazing, some are amusing, some songs are atrocious!

Part 1 65mb
Part 2 63mb

Oh man, that is so awesome!

Thanks ... actually it's a remix of a song, and listening back to the original I think I like it better ... 

My client didn't really like the remix, either.  Said it was too "busy".

Lesson learned: don't mistake "overdone" for "good".  But glad people are enjoying it anyway.  All may see an incarnation of it in Polymaniacs when it's finished!!

[Hayden Scott-Baron]

superflat, you know, I think that's my favourite of any music I've heard you make

michael, thanks! I'll download it and give it a listen!

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, I am well aware of some of the shortcomings of the tracks. My main problem is the Awkward Bot track towards the end looses its consistency. I'll be fixing that shortly. I used octatonic scales in the other tracks to give an interesting take on the music and I think it works pretty well. There's dissonance and whatnot but it lends to the atmosphere.

Since I got my AXiS49 I've been intended to actually write something with it but instead every time I just noodle around with it and improvise. I've had it about a month now, I think.

I finally forced myself to write a 2 minute song within an hour. It ended up only taking 30 minutes, though I probably could have reworked a lot of the phrasing and added more variations if I had taken the extra half hour.

Conclusion: yes, AXiS helps me compose. I wouldn't be able to harmonize that well if I didn't have it.

[Mr. Yes]

Made this one just yesterday:

My internet is super slow at the moment, so I can't listen to the whole thing, but the beginning is pretty intense, Mr. Yes.

That's beautiful, serene! (like always ) But I suggest to make the piano-only part a bit shorter and the string part at 0:54 a bit longer. Also, the string entry seems a bit out of place - maybe some quarter notes earlier/later and less/more attack? The rest is fine and very cute! Really like it.


Some bits of minimal practice on my DS-10:

Around 50bpm or so, melodic stuff + delay works quite good on it.

Awesome.

I only do music as a hobby. I don't have perfect pitch at all, it's more like a really lousy one, so there's not very advanced harmonies going on. here's a track:

http://www11.nrk.no/urort/1.0/track/download/649765.mp3
it's called "Sprengt eksplodert øldur" , which translates to "Blown up exploded beer major".
And Oppspist Casio is what I call myself when I make music.
It translates to "Eaten to bits casio"

Feedback would be great, I'm kinda new to this whole music thing.

Amongst a few projects. Keeping nice and busy, and please refrain from the 'furry' rant. Rather tired of it if I am frank. And you are Julianne. Sweet Julianne... 

And of course working on Indie Brawl Iji stuff but you can't see that yet WUV YALL!

I've seen this game (which is amazing, though I don't particularly LOVE furries, like many others) so the epilepsy was for your music ...

I have a question if you don't mind ...

As for the question of what sort of music to create, how was it decided and how do you describe that style of music?

[Theta]

I think one of my best tracked pieces was the theme music from R-Theta II:

"The Aftermath"

Also, if you remember Soulliard's Viking Bazooka Bloodbath for the VGNG Compo, I really liked how the background music turned out:

"Berserker's Big-Gun Slugfest"

[Brother Android]

@Theta - I personally really really liked the music to your platform game. The Mr. Jones one. All of yours is pretty good, however; one of the better developer/composers out there, for sure.

Thanks a lot!  I like to compose as much as I like to program; the two kind of go hand-in-hand when I make games.

Hey :D sorry didn't remember to check in here! Well Dean Dodrill (the creator of Dust) suggested what he wanted the game to sound like.. and linked me a few tracks.. well sent me some tracks. He has a big soft spot for YS stuff ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Sj28pVtf0&feature=PlayList&p=D43F807A6A30062E&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=15 ) So I followed that style.. To be quite honest.. I'm afraid to suggest a genre for it, to be safe, I will just say.. video game music?  sorry dude! haha, I can't really put my finger on it.. Japanese epic pop rock? I've said too much.

Thanks for the support, I love your track btw. And a lot of your other materials, I was blasting out your tunes yday :D


May I ask? What do you use for your music? I mean in particular, what VSTs did you use for 'Runner'

A friend of mine is working on a game that essentially needs an 8-bit esque sound.. but so far the vsts I have given him aren't really up to scratch for the sound he requires.. If it is a tracker you use, then.. nevermind heheh. We're Cubase fiends in HyperDuck. As is my pal.
