Here's a little thing I've been playing around with for a while on Guitar. Not much going on with it, but I think it's pretty catchy.

This is quite fantastic.

@Fatty_The_Hutt

That's very kind of you to say so, thanks.

I have a few other little pieces elsewhere on this computer. I might put more up at some point if I can find them.

Fatty The Hutt · « **Reply #227 on:** February 25, 2013, 04:01:02 PM »

Pix: I listened to your piece about 8 times this morning. Very impressive, I want to hear more.
Please and thank you.

Before I get any deeper with this stuff, I'm going to do that typical guitarist thing and say that these were rough recordings (yes, that typical guitarist thing

) made completely by myself using a Guitar Hero microphone and 'Audacity' for the sole purpose of explaining to potential band members the type of sound I was going for.

You'll have to take my word for it, but they sound much better when not all performed by one person with one acoustic guitar and a ukulele in their back garden, lol.

http://chirb.it/xqk2Iz - End

http://chirb.it/zskJte - 7

http://chirb.it/ast4eG - The Irish Wake

http://chirb.it/pz6y34 - Dander

http://chirb.it/1pMrpg - Empy Bar (I still haven't broke the back of this song, but I love the intro)

http://chirb.it/rscKkk - Paper Scissors (this song was really designed around a harmonica piece which is absent in this version)

Some of these little fragments actually ended up becoming full fledged songs. I'm not really set up for recording though, but these should give you a sense of what I'm going for.

I was unware of this thread before today, so I'm off to check out everyone else's stuff.

Ian Sane - Complicated Reminds me of Joy Division (not sure if that's what you were going for, but it totally worked for me). I really enjoyed the lyrics as well. The people who were asking you to put more energy in to your voice are I think missing the point. As a huge fan of joy Division, I love that style of vocals.

For some reason C'Mon reminded me of Tom Wait's 'Jockey Full of Bourbon'.

The Bass in 'Get out' was pretty damn catchy.

Ode to Government was hilarious, lol.

Dasmos - I haven't listened to Metal in years but I thought 'The Replicant' was pretty good. I was a singular Grunger in a sea of Metal Heads growing up so I do have residual fondness of this type of music.

Stogi - 'Grinnin' was really chill. Loved it. It was exactly what I needed after 'The Replicant', lol.

@Pix: Thanks for the extra content. I am deeply impressed by your playing and at the layered musical structure of the pieces. You can just feel them wanting to be expanded into full songs, with more instruments, longer structure and lyrics, though I don't know what those would be. There is a great, moving quality to the little snippets. There is a sweetness to them but they also convey a sense of, I don't know, longing or loneliness. Really nice stuff. Time to stop farting around and make some full songs that people will undoubtedly pay you for. If they were on iTunes, I would pay for that sound, definitely. Keep up the good work.

Great stuff, can't wait to check out the others.

Stogi is always good so I'll give it a go afterwards.

It needs to be longer!

Agreed.. that's what she said, about both things

Pixelated Pixies · « **Reply #234 on:** February 27, 2013, 08:59:47 AM »

Glad you liked that ditty, guys. Thanks for the responses.

There's another little piece that I've been constructing for about a month or so (similar in tone to the ones above), and if I have time this weekend I might try to record it. We'll see how it goes.

Hello! I've been using an antiquated music composition software to create rough drafts of themes for various games I work on or will work on in the future. I really don't know too much about music theory, but I'm using a book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Music Composition" as a baseline. I'd like to share some compositions

I'm doing in this topic over time.This is the first one I'd like to share:

@Phil

That's pretty spectacular man. I'm not sure what type of game it was composed for, but it seems to me that it would be right at home in a Kirby game. Also, the build up at the start strikes me as classic level 1 music. It sounds like you're leaving the village behind and going on an adventure, lol.

Nice work.

Phil · « **Reply #237 on:** May 29, 2014, 06:11:41 PM »

Thanks so much! Yes, I got the Kirby vibe from it too when I was in the middle of composing it!

Here's completed stuff for my game, Super Push Adventure. I composed the stuff on my poopy program, and then a contributor remade them in a better program.

You really might want to submit that to a game developer, I'm sure you could find a job in the field if you wanted one.

Phil · « **Reply #239 on:** May 30, 2014, 09:13:42 AM »

Hi there Brandogg! Thanks a lot for the kind words and encouragement!

I'm currently on my way to getting a degree in Interactive Digital Media, with the intent of getting into game design. While I loathe coding, I like level design, scenario design, sprite work and music composition, despite not being the best at the latter two.

Words like yours and Pix's do a world of good, so thank you both!

Stogi · « **Reply #240 on:** July 26, 2014, 06:51:02 PM »

BACK WITH A NEW ONE (It's quite old)

Never played bass till about a month before I made this song.

Khushrenada · « **Reply #241 on:** July 28, 2014, 04:15:46 PM »

Remember animecyberrat?

Well, he sent me this message:

"Hey there, just wanted to share a link with you to pass along to anyone you think might be interested. Its my latest CD, a work of pure hip-hop. http://thespiderslair.com/?p=128

I wanted to share it with a few people here, especially theperm if you can send him the link or create a post it would be very much appreciated. If you could maybe just post the link to the general chat forum maybe for me? Anyways stay cool and if you could share this link with the group, I would ask theperm he and I were friends from before but he doesn't appear to be active much anymore. Its just a post to my blog but the tracks are all available for free for anyone who wants to listen."

He really seems to want ThePerm to listen to his stuff.

And that is that.

I like the intro track.

He needs to make a video so he can go on Tosh.0.

Phil · « **Reply #244 on:** August 04, 2014, 04:43:34 PM »

Hey all. Here's a new song I composed for the last area of my soon-to-be-released-in-the-not-so-distant-future game.

I do house/techno music but I am taking a break right now. I uploaded a bunch of songs to my webspace a few years ago for school but I lost that when they kicked me out. I might upload them again on my own blog but not sure if I will or not. I was signed up to take piano lessons but that was tied into the school I got kicked out of.

Phil · « **Reply #246 on:** December 05, 2014, 08:03:06 PM »

Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days
Warning 2: Phil is bumping this bad boy!

I don't have a new game project yet, but it's not stopping me from trying out some ideas. For instance, this theme with a very tentative title is almost complete. It's meant to be a song for a town with cherry blossoms or maybe a mountainside trek even.

Just wanted to share this for those who like rock music. I work with one of the members of this band so wanted to share a link to their album for those who want to check out some actual real music instead of my usual crap.

http://rattlesnakeboys.bandcamp.com/

If you just want to check out their music I know they are on Spotify too.

Stogi · « **Reply #248 on:** December 11, 2014, 09:50:05 PM »

Phil, your song got heavy at the 1:30 mark. I like it man. Good job!

I'd like to share a song from my unreleased ep called 2 minutes (where every song is roughly 2 minutes long, and each track is simply numbered). Here is track 7.

https://stogi.bandcamp.com/track/7

Criticism is always welcome, so let me know what you think!

Nile Boogie Returns · « **Reply #249 on:** December 13, 2014, 09:46:20 PM »

might as well contribute to the creation thing!

▶ Get It Lo (Let It Go remix) by Nile Hardin

Seemed like to do.
