It's high time for an update!
What I am about to share with you is my first real attempt at a piece that tells a story. It is simply called "waking up" for now.
Ever have one of those days when you have multiple people living in a home and you're the last person still in bed and everyone else is making a racket?
This is my short musical piece:

Beware, when the clarinet comes in it's a little startling at first. Doesn't that just create the illusion of waking up to a racket, though? Heh.
Ok, so while you are listening I will walk you through it.
In the first several measures, it's slow paced and there are short intervals of silence between phrases. This represents semi consciousness, just before you begin to open your eyes. When the percussion starts, the eyes are starting to open. Then the clarinet comes in. This is someone engaging in conversation with someone else. A pan flute interrupts the clarinet as it holds its note, representing the second party conversing with the first. Who knows what they are talking about? Probably the fact that you're still in bed and missing a great breakfast!
And as a bonus, the Tuvil theme (Town).

Enjoy...
Comments much appreciated. Bonus to whoever can tell me what makes Tuman style unique from Earthling style music composition-wise.
Hint: I mention it briefly in the walk through of "waking up".
Aren't I silly?
[EDIT] My brain has finally turned on. From now on I will no longer use Geocities to link to my music. It's time to straight up use the CastleParadox song list. _________________ Planning Project Blood Summons, an MMORPG which will incinerate all of the others with it's sheer brilliance...
