Hey guys, I have been visiting Ichigo's for a long time, but I never got into this whole forum thing, but I'm gonna try it out!

I'm gonna post some of my music, and I'd really appreciate feedback!
My personal favorites are "Love's Martyr," and "Final Horizon."

I hope you love them as much as I love creating them.

Title2:

Got me hooked instantly! I loved the 00:28-00:39 part, and yeah, that was my favourite moment in this piece.

Love's Martyr:

Some parts are almost direct ripp-offs of Rydia's theme from FFIV, which I didn't like.

Opening Premise:

Some awkward string notes here and there, mostly due to technical sound... but overall, a decent piece. It has a steady onward progression, and I enjoyed it throughout, but I'd prefer a bit more variety in this one, especially in towards the end.

Final Horizon:

I really liked that you emphasized a melody more here than the rest. It was very effective. However, I didn't care much for the third and fourth repetition of it.

You're a highly talanted composer, I hope you continue to compose in the exact same manner. Welcome to Ichigos Forums!

It's all really pop/anime influenced, which I'm not too fond of, hence I won't comment on whether if I like each individual piece or not. I guess it would be fine as soundtrack music, but from what I heard from your piano pieces, you could improve and expand on your accompaniments rather than just having arppegios over and over again. Also, all your harmonies are too standard, you should try expanding your harmonic vocabulary by trying more different chord progressions. Your opening premise piece could use some refining, as Noir said. Rhythms could be less standard so it can be less droning and less boring. The progression should also be improved on, don't just use the same chords over and over again. Orchestration could also be improved upon, but I'm guessing you're more interested in more pop-influenced sounding music, hence I won't go technical about that, unless you tell me you are aiming for writing proper orchestral music, then I'll tell you more.

All right, I appreciate your feedback..

dotdotdot, you sound like you don't enjoy the pieces; are they aesthetically displeasing to you?

anyway, here's a few more you can "rip apart" ^_^:

There isn't really a cadence at the end of "Overworld" because it is supposed to loop. It goes back to the tonic, though, so I suppose its an authentic cadence.

Oh, and please forgive my lack of knowledge when it comes to snare rudiments. :(

"Woods" was enjoyable to write because I tried my hand at writing in a modal scale, with diatonic intrusions. What do you think? (Oh, this one loops too.. you can tell.)

"Dungeon" is kind of cool; easy, but cool. I enjoy the eeriness and the emptiness.

Oh, and "Jazz" is my first attempt at jazz music.. I've never really liked jazz, but I've been trying to broaden my palette, so to speak. Feel free to rip it apart; its unfinished, but I figured I'd get some feed back. :)

No, they're not aesthetically displeasing me. It's just that I'm not intrigued by that style, but just because I don't like it doesn't mean they're bad or anything. And I am glad that you're attempting to write something new and out of the box(your jazz piece).

I'll comment on your new pieces perhaps later, for I'm somewhat in a hurry at the moment.

really, nobody has any feedback? :(

Not getting feedback has to do with various things. Unless your compositions are either very good, or really bad, they aren't that interesting to comment on. Being stuck in that grayzone is a composer's personal hell, yet a chance for you to evolve from that transition.

Or it could simply be that you've had this thread up and running for a great amount of two days.
