[Hideous]

Just as a test. There are a lot of music threads popping up now, so we might as well collect single songs in one thread, eh?

Heck, even I made a song: http://hideou.se/music/overalreadyy.mp3

[Hinchy]

well, I already made a general-purpose chiptune thread, but if people want to use this topic for other music, that'd be cool.

My latest EP. I'm not quite fond of it but people surprisingly like it. Which is really cool. No wait, I mean it's fucking awesome!

(Mostly minimal techno also breakbeat experimental shit)

Hideous, I love your song.

[brog]

I haven't seriously made music for some years now, so this is quite old.  Still you might find it interesting if you like your music unmusical and noisy.

Music! I'm just addicted.

I've done several small pieces for my 1D game, but this here is the most quality one so far:
Cave, 2:24 minutes

Bit IDM complexity, bit Ambient/Ambience, bit Soundtrack.

Hideous - Stonehenge Returns

It was made for music class, but I learned a lot while making it. Take a listen if you're brave :D

[Synnah]

Humdrum!

I did this for a game that was posted in the Feedback forum here, but the guy who was making it has kind of disappeared! It was an attempt to do something more ambient and minimal, but I kind of failed.

[C418]

And still you made something very awesome.

[Synnah]

Thanks!

I listened to your EP, and I also really like it. It's very cohesive, and it works perfectly as a whole; I wasn't sure where one song ended and the next began. Also, the last track is awesome. More experimental breakbeat shit, please!

Something very simple here. It's a rough draft of something I might want to use for the Lovecraft compo, if I have time to make an entry. It's intended as a sort of moodsetting background music, so don't expect all that much to happen. Problem is, I've listened to it so many times over the last couple of hours that I find it impossible to judge whether it "works" or not, so I'm grateful for any feedback. Instrument patches probably are subject to change (violin sounds pretty crappy).

I think it works, but I really think the piano part could use a little spicing up

Thanks; I sort of liked the dreary monotony that the very simple piano line created. I'll give it a shot anyway and see if it improves the piece.

[Chris Whitman]

I like the atmosphere, but agree the piano part could use a bit more.

Also, there are parts, especially when the second string part comes in, where the chords do not really make a lot of sense. I think you should try to make the melody part a little less 'busy' in those parts and maybe move the bass notes up and down to try to create some consonance with the other instruments.

Also, there are parts, especially when the second string part comes in, where the chords do not really make a lot of sense.

The idea was that the violin isn't completely consonant with the rest of the piece, thus creating a sort of eerie/creepy atmosphere; that's why I threw in all sorts of minor seconds and tritones and stuff like that. I had a feeling that if everything fit perfectly into a standard minor scale, it would perhaps seem like a somber instrumental piece, but not really haunting. I'm not completely confident that I achieved what I wanted, and your comment seems to underline that...

Hm. I guess I'll let it rest for a couple of days and listen to it with fresh ears then. Thanks for the comments.

[Synnah]

I like the dreary monotony of the piano, as you put it. I wouldn't suggest making it more intricate, but rather progress to chords instead of just single notes as the song progresses. Add a second note about a minute in, and another one when the violins start. If that makes sense.

I like the dissonance of the violins, also. They give the piece an air of something that's not quite right, which I guess is the sound you were going for.

Hurrah! So it does have that effect on some people at least.

The suggestion with additional chord notes for the piano also sounds reasonable; I could easily flesh it out with a fifth and perhaps a third or seventh. Thank you.

[fullspectrum]

I make computer game and drum and bass influenced electro/breaks music.

I wanna make music for games

Would love some feedback, and to work on anyone's project here.

[Problem Machine]

What Synnah said for the piano part is basically what I was thinking as well. Perhaps spicing up was a poor choice of words, but adding interest to.
