Music!

Heh, I had that kind of image of the little village for the first one too. I do love video game music. I suppose that's where I get some of my inspiration from. *Sigh* Maybe if SNES were still popular I could write music for old RPG's. Thanks for the comments.

They're in midi format, so don't laugh if the instruments sound a little funny. Everything sounds better in real life anyways. For any of you whom are musically inclined, suggestions would be welcome, as well as possible names for the songs. For those of you less musically inclined, comments and what you think of these would be appreciated. And on to the links. Song 1 - This is a piano piece that I wrote about a year ago, well the beginning. The second part where the tempo picks up a bit I worked on yesterday. It's one of the happier pieces that I've written and quite pretty. Song 2 - This one is a piece that I was going to write for the percussion ensemble at school to maybe try out. My instructor liked the beginnings of it, but I haven't worked on it in a while. It's quite a bit more upbeat than the last one, and maybe gives the image of a battle scene? I dunno, let me know what you guys think. Song 3 - Another percussion ensemble piece, well the mallet parts at least since that's what I play. This one is a little darker than the last, and maybe give the image of a dark forest. At least that's what I get out of it. Gets darker sounding as the song goes on. Well, that's a few I'd like to share. I have others, as well as some guitar music, but they're not nearly as far along as these. I might post up some songs that my rock band (I play guitar in that) are working sometime in the future. Untill then, enjoy!

Oh wow,I would love to hear all of them on real insterments.There all very pretty,though I'm not to good at song names or music ...and I don't know what you would associate them with "just music or with dragons"...but I have some ideas...If you would like to hear them?...just let me know ...

The third one, I can hear as a soundtrack to something where the characters are runnin' out of time. I like the tubular bells, too. Always been fond of those. Would those be in the real version, as well? Not quite sure why, but the second one evokes a hint of the Orient ... not a lot, just a little taste. The first one's pretty. Contented times, sounds like to me. I'll bet this one's real nice with real instruments, as well. Better depth. Keep us updated on these, eh? -- ~Gweenie Oneirosuchus, the dreaming crocodile (cleverly disguised as an absent-minded chameleonic green dragoness) (lurker extraordinaire) GreenLaire.net \| Elfwood \| LJ

But the midi in my opinion makes them sound horrible (but they're kinda quiet for some reason), all out of tune and stuff. They basically just playing long whole notes, so I might be thinking you mistook them for the vibraphone, which was playing a little melodic line? The midi makes the vibes sound like chimes shrugs. And sure thing I'll keep updating just as fast as I get 'em written. Music writing sure can go slow at times...

Song 2 : Battle of Flame,Hevens Flight. Song 3 : Midnight Mist,Night of Crimson. Well these are just a few I thought of tell me what you think?

Might use one or two of 'em, but perhaps I'll wait till I finish the songs completely 'fore naming them. Always easier to name after something finished, right?

dracothrope Tail-Chaser Posts: 94 (7/4/03 3:38 pm) Reply	Re: Music! ^_^ Those were great! The first one made me smile, though I'm not sure why. It just brought forth some happy feelings. I think that that (the first) one kind of reminds me of a village in most RPG games... like those happy little villages in the middle of nowhere where you stock up on treats and stuff. I noticed the Orient thing in the second one, as well... it was only there for about a second... and I'd like to hear more of that in it! The third one reminds me of background music in a fighting game (like those ones from SNES and such), in that it could just keep on going and you wouldn't get tired of hearing it. Sorry if I sound a bit prejudiced towards what the midis remind me of... most of the ones I hear come from www.vgmusic.com ... (some good stuff!) Though you could beat them all. ^_~
