These are my very first songs, so i know they are crap compared to some other people at CP, but any constructive comments would be GREAT! Happy You will need to copy and paste the link, otherwise they won't work.


www.geocities.com/beau_rlmusic/Lament.mid

This song was the first one I wrote. I know that there are some MAJOR volume problems, so sorry about that. I can't tell if it's good or not, so you decide for me.

www.geocities.com/beau_rlmusic/Rapture.mid

This is the same song as above, but in a major key with a few changed notes and new instruments. Tell me which one is better out of the two above.

www.geocities.com/beau_rlmusic/Jig.mid

This is meant to be a kind of Jig thing, but tell me what you think.

www.geocities.com/beau_rlmusic/Sign.mid

This is almost like the song from "signs". After hearing the song, I got an idea in my head on how to make it into a new and better song. It didn't really turn out though. I'm just submitting this one for fun.


So tell me what you think. Tell me if there crap, cause I'll try again.

Honestly, I must say, you have the ability to capture mood in your pieces, which is a wonderful thing when you're composing for games and such. Your pieces don't have to be spectacular to be good. They at least have to embody the atmosphere of their placement.

The only thing I would suggest is like in the Lament piece, do not keep sounding the Strings triad you have going on there. Just have them strike it once and sustain it. When you keep having them strike that chord, it makes it sound less real. Other than that, everything else is pretty well on the right track.

Well, you have a good start. When I started, I could sometimes get a good tune and make it sound nice, but I could get so few. You, on the otherhand, make up for lost quality in quantity, which is a good thing to do when you start something.

btw, will you join the Musicians Corner? please do.
