So, I decided to help out a game design major who's stuck with a nearly-completed project, but in lieu of a soundtrack. I took up the challenge of composing 7 pieces. In 5 days. Never mind the fact that I've never really composed anything. Writing down a few melodies and harmonics don't quite count in my book.

I really wanted a SNES feel to it; nothing too advanced (despite remixing the published version with Reason to give it a better feel). It was a really fun project and I hope I can compose more game music in the future. Again, this is my first try at composing, so any critique is encouraged.

Track list:
1. Title Theme
2. Windy Peaks
3. Woodlands
4. Downtown Barricade
5. Frostbite
6. Illusion
7. Ending / Credits

My deepest thanks to Claude Debussy who helped me compose Frostbite. I'm really not a fan of his work, but his piece "The Snow is Dancing" (No. 4 from Children's Corner) helped set the desolate and completely surreal feel of it.

Comments, feedback, anything?

Not too bad. The main theme reminds me of Monkey Island for some reason. What other composing stuff have you done, and how long have you been working on this project?

Oh, and how can you not be a fan of DEBUSSY XD?!

Heh, Debussy...

This was a project with a crunched timeline - I was given 5 days for the 7 songs. So, in retrospect, I'm happy with the results of a week's effort :D

hah, I am doing something like that at the moment just that I have 3 days, actually 4 but one day is my anniversary so that one cant count it. XD

Actually, considering the amount of time you were given, this is pretty amazing. :]
Woodlands is my favourite, but Frostbite is something I would enjoy playing an arrangement of.

Here is sheet music for Frostbite, aka, "Children's Corner, No.4 (The Snow is Dancing)" by Claude Debussy: http://www.sheetmusicarchive.net/compositions_b/chilcor4.pdf
