Some Music.

Hmm... So I guess I finished the Deep Jungle song... at least for now. I was pretty excited about it yesterday, but my enthusiasm has diminished since that time. Still, I'm not disappointed in myself, just not particularly proud. Maybe i'll feel better about it tomorrow...

Also I have included some really short chiptune songs I made, before I knew what chiptunes were (or even that they existed). I actually thought that I had come up with the idea... which I guess I did, just not first. My thoughts on these were that they were supposed to be for GBA. The kind of little tunes that loop endlessly while your buying shit in town, or wandering through a level. I used different types of simple waves in the Subtractor synth in Reason, limiting myself to 4 monophonic instruments.
I don't really know how i feel about "Death of A Rogue," so any comments/suggestions on that would be especially appreciated. My thoughts are it it needs another melody, or major variation of this one.

Hope you enjoy.

It's Working!

Ah hA!! So thanks to vgto! reviews I found the motivation to continue with Deep Jungle, which has made some nice progress. Hopefully later today i will upload the completed version of the song.

Also, I am very interested in the chiptune buisness, so if anybody has any information on how to create it, please leave a comment.

On another note, I am thinking of creating a blog that theoretical looks at video game music, by analyzing the scores, much like what Cruise Elroy has done in his blog pertaining to the music from the Zelda series. The problem is mainly technical, as I'm not sure how i would upload the midi files... I could just link them, or upload a .mus file that can be opened in notepad, which is free. if the idea interests anyone, let me know.

Out of time. Peace.

Deep Jungle

Oh! The mysteries of the forbidden jungle!one!1eleven...

Trying to see if/how this works.

edit: ok, so it didn't (at least not the way i expected it to... click on the title of the Post "Deep Jungle" to be sent to a link with the piece, or click on the link below.

A little instrumental tune i made in Reason just now. As usual, my initial inspiration has faded and it will probably become yet another unfinished piece... This makes me think of Tarzan's jungle in Kingdom Hearts. Like... deep within the vines and shit. hence the name.

Anyways, any comments would be appreciated, good or bad.

enjoy :)

So this is the blog...

Blogging seems to be all the rage, or something... not exactly sure why but perhaps I'll find out. Regardless, the reason for the creating of this blog makes reasonable enough sense to me. A wise man once said "there is something powerful in stating to the online public (even if they don’t exist) that you are going to do “this,” “that,” and “thata.”" I hope this is true, because I am in dire need of more motivation than I cannot muster on my own. So I ask anyone who might come by this to pretend like your checking out my blog... even if it's not true. Just leave a comment. Threaten to impale me with the hardened feces of an albino walrus for all I care. So long as I know you were here, tis all that matters.

Ahem, soo... what are these thing I need motivation for, you may or may not be pondering?

I'll tell you.

1. Learning Japanese. I have decided to learn Japanese, for no reason that is perticularly good. I guess it would be because it sounds badass, so many cool things have come out of Japan, and I like Japanese people. (though I haven't met many, the ones I have were awsome, and I've heard good things)
2. Learning Piano. Been playing guitar for nearly 4 years now, only to come to the realization that I enjoy composing far more than actually playing. Piano is far superior than guitar in that aspect. So I have lain the guitar aside and stolen my sister's keyboard! (cause I'm badass like that)
3. Composing. Just writing music. I've started countless pieces (ok, maybe not countless...), but with nobody to listen to them or get feedback from they just chill incomplete on my harddrive. I've been getting into video game music lately, so I gotta start composing it up in that style. Probably using the midi sequencing program Reason, as my piano skills aren't up to par with the kind of stuff I wanna write.
   

Those would have to be the main ones... In addition I gotta beat Disgaea 2 on my PS2 emulator, cause I never got through the first one before my Dad's friend took back his ps2. :( I also want to get back into art. Drawing and such. I used to want to be an artist before I discovered music, which then took priority in my lyf (the more ganster way of spelling life). It still has priority, but I feel I should't have abandoned it nearly completely as I did... I went through a short pixel art phase, but didn't really make much head way.

Anyways... If any of this stuff might interest you, or you have a blog featuring anything similar, leave a comment, or whatever you bloggers do.

May the force be with you all.
