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...
Yeah, the dissonance is actually okay. What I was talking about was more that, while the instruments sound good on their own, they don't really sound like they're playing together. The strings seem to be playing their own independent melodies, rather than creating harmonies. The end result is that the chord progression doesn't really seem to be 'going' anywhere. I mean, maybe it's intentional. It's just the first thing that struck me as odd about it.

Thanks Michael.
Games and music is what life's all about for me.
Just a pity then that I have a job in media sales!

These tracks blew me away. Really strong synths and nice guitar playing. Fantastic.

listened to funebre6 there agj. I thought it was ok; the main point of interest for me was the achingly nice harmonic suspension over the ostinato at around note 30 of pattern 2. When the 'ghost' instrument came in I sort of found myself unable to keep up interest :/

Haha, what exactly was so terrible about the ghost? It's sort of cheesy and sort of cacophonic, both intentional. I made a new thing. This one's peppy and bright, also cheesier. I called it Crush.

It wasn't the ghost sample in and of itself; rather I found what started happening to the melody line to be pretty uninteresting (I'd like to re-emphasize the subjectivity of my experience).

well I decided to let my "manbaby music" thread die, and instead post it here. There are 3 new tracks that are 2 hours long together. All music was done via the NDS-tool Korg DS-10, by a friend of mine and me. Everything's live recorded using the headphone jacks and some not so good cables, so the recording quality isn't too well. luckily I improved the hosting (rapidshare is eeevil) http://www.lastfm.de/music/tokenmastersyou can listen to it there, or download.

Hey there, been messing about with a theme for my new game. This is very much a w.i.p with placeholder samples, and it's more of an driving version of what i see the final 'main' theme being - in other words the same notes but more whistful and dreamy. This version I could see being used towards the end of the game on the other hand. www.superflatgames.com/Amnesia_2.mp3

alteisentier mentioned in irc that he wanted music for their tigjamUK reverse tetris game so c418 and i decided to have a remix battle. the goal was some sort of trippy idm tetris remix. this is what i made, and c418 should share his too. it was made in like an hour or so, i dont know if it qualifies as idm, but meh. had i more time, i think the transitions need some work and some overall mastering wouldve been nice. oh well: http://ottumwatunes.tumblr.com/post/58563114/tetris-theme-sirtet-mix-molestation-of-tetris

http://kyou.lolikona.net/music/808koreans.mp3I use the term "music" loosely. Also, I'll be sure to check these other songs when my internet becomes unshaped.
