Hello everyone, long time no see. Got a bit caught up with school but I'm still composing. Here is my new piece for another composition assignment for the semester. Enjoy, and leave some comments too:lol:

Nice job with it, it emulate very well the classic period.

Thank you, classical is one of my weaker parts so I think I left some parallels in there lol.

might as well add this too...something from a while ago.

Very nice dude! Keep 'um coming! :thumb:

I feel I have heard parts of that melody before in other music, it also remind me to Super Mario, I don't know why. But anyway, it's a nice piece.

Spy themes, love them and just had to attempt one lol. please disreguard the awkward cymbal rolls, noteworthy does not come with a roll command lol.

Not bad at all, I like it! This would also benefit greatly if converted over to old 8bit soundsets!

Contemporary music is not my strong suite but since thats the genre for this semester's study...attempt number 1 with the hexatonic scale.

I love you, in a completely heterosexual way. Anyways i loved the piece. It was very eerie and creepy. I must ask though, what is considered contemporary piano?

I consider A-tonal music to be contemporary. Contemporary music generally holds itself through pitch class sets rather than chord functions. It also tests the limitations of an instrument and creating new ways to make an unheard sound out of an existing instrument. Debussy would be a good example to start off with.

Contemporary music can mean anything that is done in the present. But putting it in something more specific and what people may understand as contemporary, is mentioning atonal music, concrete music, serial music, experimental music. A few other examples can be: Messiaen, Kancheli, Charles Ives, Shostakovich, Berg, Nikolas, Stravinsky, Ligeti, Tristan Murail. I recommend Nikolas to anyone interested. -_^

Suspenseful and mysterious, would be great if you expanded on it! If you get motivated enough, an orchestration might not be a bad idea.

A song written for a friend who's relationship just took a downturn. Also used as an audition for a talent show. This is the instrumental version that I could not use and had to switch to the piano version at the time but I still think this one sounds better :lol:.
放开手(Letting Go)

你一直都是在那为她挣扎 You were always struggling for her
现在你也应该明白了吧 Perhaps now you understand
你却知道已经不行 You know it will never work out
但还要为她全心 Yet you still give her all your heart
为什么你就放不开她的手? Why can't you just let her go?

我看你一直在那黑暗等待 I see you waiting in the darkness
说不出你想说的心里话 Not being able to say whats on your mind
你真有那么爱她？ Do you love her that much?
问你也没有回答 I asked you but u did not reply.
是否该把眼睛增开了？ Maybe its time to open your eyes.

放开手 别寂寞 Let go, don't feel depressed
你的伤痛我了解但你还要走上 I know you're hurt but you still have to step on
未来的路 to the path of the future
因为那里有你的True Love because that is where your true love lies.

放开手 别回想 Let go, don't think back
你要相信你自己别再盼望因为 You have to believe in yourself and stop hoping for what if's
前面的光 Because that light ahead
就是你在寻找的True Love Is the true love that you seek.

The actual song is pretty good, but maybe you should edit the japanese lyrics so they make sense. XD In other words, it's just a bunch of kanji, but they aren't in sentences or anything. :P Might be better to fix that, or have someone fix it if you don't speak japanese. I don't speak enough japanese to know how to fix every one, but I know for sure that in the 6th line, 見る/見ます and 私 should be there since it says "I see". :P

And uh, sorry about your freind. :heh: lol.

The lyrics are in chinese...:heh: Are you Japanese?

もしかして日本人？それとも日本語の学生？

Ugh, midi does not do this song justice, it makes it sound like some corny karaoke song, no offense.

I would actually like to hear the solo piano version with the voice sometime, it would allow for more expression, I would think. You really have a knack for writing these types of songs, I remember a while ago, you wrote Xiang Si--man, that melody was stuck in my head for quite some time! Your use of strings is nice and standard, like those runs and rhythmic parts.

Maybe ~1:15 and ~2:37, you could take out the lowermost third, it makes it sound unnecessarily chunky and unstable. It might be a matter of taste. Then again, it could be the midi screwing up the sound, lol. (It's the part where the bass has an F# and the piano has an A at the start of a chorus.) I'd just stick with a D. Same would go for ~1:24, I'd have the bass playing the roots of the chords instead of the fifths.

During the electric guitar solo, when the drum set comes in, I'd have the bass come in as well to fill in the void.

Again, personal taste, but the closing acoustic guitar solo seems empty; maybe have it play some harmonies?

Like I mentioned earlier, this could be due to the midi sounds, so if you feel something would sound better your way, go for it.

Nice melody, it's already stuck in my head, haha. Good job, KK.

I love your use of the the drum set, and I'm diggin' the patterns; it's great! I just wanted to point that out, since I'm finally following my child-hood dream by learning to play the drums-- I may be the one composer, or what-have-you, who LOVES percussion but really isn't his forte (keyboard section is XD).

Blah, blah, I'm getting off track. This song is great! Definitely showcases the simplicity and the followable-ness of a song, which is such a compliment. I wish you had an "actual" recording of this, because then you'd be able to follow the lyrics better and you could also feel more of the song, which is that ever-growing problem with midi as you know.

This is great. You're great. Keep making me proud, KK. :P

My most recent orchestral piece. I've finished the intro but I think I made the second half a bit too thick. Here's what I have so far though. Comments, crits, its all good but I'd prefer no flaming :lol:

I love it! Can't wait to here this finished!

Here is the piano version of FKS. The final chord is arppegiated down like in the instrumental but that would require making the score look messy so I decided not to.

Hello, my second attempt at an atonal piece. The entire piece have only 2 pitch class sets which I tried inverting, transposing, and stacking. I think it turned out ok and it sounds atonal enough to me lol:heh: Enjoy:lol:

It does have a neat menacing feel to it. That violin lick at 0:40 sounded pretty cool. I think if you were to take this one farther, you need to add more instruments from the orchestra to create more textures. Especially some brass instruments. You could get a little call and response going then. :lol:

My friends think it sounds like a dungeon theme at the start. :sweat: You have no idea how much I would want to but I just don't have the physical ability to start on another orchestral piece.@_@

been busy with Noir's competition piece but just a short little tune. Criteria was to use chords beyond 7th.:shifty:

Trying new things. Ragtime attempt 1. :P Just having fun during breaks.

Ragtime! This is extremely short but feels complete and satisfactory, lol. I liked the short second section (Without count the intro). I love ragtimes. It's fun to listen, to play and to compose!

Ragtimes are awesome. I've love to hear a longer version of this.

2009, Noir's composition contest:

Title: New Beginning
Sub Title: Enchanted Prelude

Description:

New Beginning:

The beginning of the song brings the audience to picture the beginning of a great adventure, with a light and carefree mood. As the travelers approach the unknown, an increasing tone of excitement climaxes into a flash of light. The travelers are now transported into the world of fantasy, silent in awe.

The travelers cautiously look around in this mysterious world, and start to notice the beautiful and magical surroundings. Here, there, and everywhere, there are countless discoveries! The curious travelers wander around in wonder, exploring this world of fantasy. With a new found energy, the travelers reminisce about the wonders that they have seen, and then depart from this world, back to reality.

Composer Note: The title represents my personal wishes for the listener to feel as though they had just been rejuvenated after listening to the piece. As though they had just been given a new beginning and anything is possible. The title also shows my own commitment as a composer to explore more areas and genres in music.

At :50 you have a stray note that doesn't fit in the chord. I really like the section right in the middle. 3:17-3:25, the transition isn't very driving; it doesn't really lead to the place where you went with it, if that makes sense.

Dear lord, I missed a damn # in first horn at :50....edited god knows how long and I still missed something...

Dude, I've edited my O Nata Lux for hours upon hours, and I still change something little every time I open the .mus file...

:lol: This song was "done" 2 weeks ago. I finally thought i got everything but now...sigh time to polish it more.

Haha. It always happens like that. You call a finished piece finished and then when you listen to it after letting it sit for a while you want to make changes to it. XD

Nice job BTW. Very nice orchestration. I only wish the volume was louder. I can barely hear it (maybe its just my PC)!

I realize that problem with my program. I have no idea why. My best suggestion is to listen with headsets. It works very well for me. The only time I can hear it without my headset is when I just woke up or after stayed in a silent room for about like an hour:heh:

Spoiled Rotten: Background music

Recent project I've been working for. Spoiled Rotten is an anime my friend is making. The following are just some background music I've wrote for it...more to come:shifty:

Ragtime is also a part of this.

New full orchestra BGM, started today. Here is the intro, tell me what you think?

The bass sustains an f pedal which I plan to keep for the entire song but its not always audible. It works well for some parts but other times when I want it to come out, it remains hidden. I tried tweaking with the dynamics but still didn't work. If this was played by real people, would this be the case too or is it just cause my speakers can handle the channels?

This is the opening theme to SR. I wanted an electric guitar but noteworthy's electric guitar is too horrible sounding for me to bear so I left it out. Enjoy:lol

Edit: The lyrics are not set yet but the synth voice line is the singer.

In the drums, add straight 8th notes on the hi-hat. That's definitely he secret to a good drum pattern. I loved it when it came in mid-way through! XD Although, then, the melody came a little un-clear; might want to clean the strings and the voice up a little bit (the leveling)!

Overall, I love it! Quite nice, looking to hear some changes and it's all distinguishable. :lol:

I know what you mean. Once I finish it and recorded it, I will resubmit. I like the hi-hat idea, I will certainly give it a try. I'm sure if I made a second verse on it, it would make for a very nice contrasting pattern as well. Anime intro music is generally confined to 1:30 so that makes the entire development of the song feel rushed too.

Thanks for the comment, I thought people didn't like me anymore or something ^.^

SR BGM: Times of Boredom

The title speaks for itself:heh: The song is made so that it is able to loop and allow for tempo adjustments to match the length of the scene.

Yup, the title does tell it very well. And I like it, nice recreation. Pizzicatos always seem to recreate very well a scene where people are just bored. The song is quite nice also, I liked the style. The only thing that bug me is the volume... Get it in audacity and increase the volumes! :P

Oh, if you will make a loop of it, I recommend .Ogg format. When it goes back to the beginning of a piece or song it makes a smooth loop in contrast of a mp3 format; most of the times shows the gasp.

:lol: Thanks, here is the louder version of the song. I was actually planning to just cut and copy the required parts of the music against the video, in which case, I think mp3 still works fine, but thanks for the tip. I will check it out.

I like it a lot! I think it might sound good with a bit extra reverb, but besides that, I really like the quirky melody, and the mental image that the music brings of someone sitting alone at home on a summer day bored out of their mind.

yup thats pretty much my mental image when I wrote it too. :lol:

I've added hi-hat to this based on your recommendation Mazeppa and I really like it so I think this is the final instrumental version for the song. I still dun like how I can't get a realistic electric guitar sample to replace the string line but gotta made due with what i got.:sweat:

The song's range is D-highG and meant to be sung by a guy in Japanese. I still need to think of lyrics but I'm sure it'll come to me.

Yeah, the hit hat is a good addition to it! I want to listen to it when it get recorded! It may go to my mp3 player when I get headphones. ;)

Wonder I am, will this be recorded with real instruments or just samples?

most likely with samples. I don't have my own band :( but I do know some bands and I am planning to see if they would want to help me record the piece. I will most likely have to sing it though but I've been skipping my vocal lessons.:sweat:

Cellebration!! Exams are over and I'm back into composing. Cheers!!:lol:

A quick little morning theme. 1 Flute, piano, and strings. Enjoy;)

Edit: Wahahaha, I finally added an avatar after almost 3 years. I always did want to but was too lazy to figure out how lol.

Well, it's summer now and class is over. But the contemporary theory I learned last semester interested me greatly so I decided to pursue some further studies. In the process, I started writing this little for fun composition. I will basically try everything I learned in this little orchestral piece and whether it becomes gold or grime, it should be a fun experience.:sweat:

Here is the starting little bit.

Chord Planing, sound mass, and a little bit of pitch class inversions.

In some ways it reminded me of "la cathedrale engloutie" at the beginning (except the random diminished chords)... but then it sort of seemed atonal at other times.

Edit: I would really like to study contemporary music sometime soon, but I haven't really gotten around to it officially...

I liked it. I have some suggestion though. I think the G7 is too out of place. Maybe find something that is not a simple tritone, but is not so out of place. Or maybe just a Gmaj is the only way to go. The first orchestral swell is really cool. When/if it is played by a real orchestra/good sample library then it will sound really good! The other thing is when it switches in the second part at 1:10. I think it was too sudden. Why not sust. the last D's on the piano and have a quick mammoth swell. Then the second section would be well introduced (i think).

Well done so far :)

Edit: Wahahaha, I finally added an avatar after almost 3 years. I always did want to but was too lazy to figure out how lol.

Peaceful! I love it! The flute melody it very, very good! Have you thought about adding an oboe or clarinet counter melody underneath. If written to fit around the flute melody it would definitely uplift the song further!

Thanks for the reply. For morning, I was giving some serious considerations to using an oboe. In fact, originally, I was going to have an oboe. But when I first started writing, it was planned to be performed by my friends and we didn't have an oboe player. It would have been a string quartet on the bottom too. That's why I decided to try and let the flute cover for the oboe as well...hence you heard the low extreme of the flute at certain places too.

The G7...well actually, vii, was used because I was following the textbook theory to the bitter end :lol:. I completely agree that the second section came in too suddenly. I hadn't thought of a good bridge yet so I think I will follow what you have said and see how that goes. Thanks a bunch for the replies.

I think that this composition serves its purpose very well. It's not trying to be something over-the-top and it's certainly nothing original, but with the right angle (and I mean, production-wise) this would work truly well.

Now let's hear the real thing, the true KaitouKudou =]

Which piece were you referring to? I'm guessing its for the morning theme?

Geeze, every time i see a reply from you it makes me nervous now haha! you're like Simon of Ichigo's. :P

Edit: I mean that in a good way. I hear something from you and it makes me want to keep writing haha! The true KK...I don't even know what the true me sounds like...:sweat:

@deathraider-- "La Cathedral Engloutie?" Hahah, maybe just a little, little bit, but only after you mention it. XD

This is quite interesting, KK. I am not well versed in 20th century theory, but I enjoyed the effort and [so far] outcome. I would, however, take a look at some orchestrating?

The contemporary one I personally could not enjoy the piano parts. But the other parts really hit my taste; I liked the tension in it. The piece feels very abrupt in every moment that change of theme. I think you can use these materials for something else. Sounded like a sketch of ideas.

Yes they were sketches of ideas. I think I said this before but I was just following the text book theory.:P Orchestration-wise, nothing is set. It was just me jotting down stuff to see how it would turn out. It sounded ok so I thought I'd hear what you guys think so far. Based on the comments, I'm guessing I'm headed in the general correct direction :sweat:.

Thanks for the comments guys.

@deathraider-- "La Cathedral Engloutie?" Hahah, maybe just a little, little bit, but only after you mention it. XD


Well he did tell me that's the song he was studying as he was writing that section... (after I said it sounded like that)

I've added hi-hat to this based on your recommendation Mazeppa and I really like it so I think this is the final instrumental version for the song. I still dun like how I can't get a realistic electric guitar sample to replace the string line but gotta made due with what i got.:sweat:

The song's range is D-highG and meant to be sung by a guy in Japanese. I still need to think of lyrics but I'm sure it'll come to me.

This is a nifty piece, almost having a sort of enka quality to it haha. One that thing that rather irked me though was the first drum pattern - that second snare hit in each measuring landing on the down beat just sounds kind of off to me for a sustaining pattern. It sounds more fluid if it's shifted to the right an eighth-note. I've attached an edit with with several similar patterns that rely on the delayed snare, though I've kept it the same for the last one, since it feels right for a transition/fill type function.

Thanks shizeet. I've never played...well, never even tried to play a drumset so I dunno a lot of its patterns. I'll definitely have a look at what you gave me. Sorry for taking a while to reply. Been working on some stuff and my spring term has started now :bleh:.

Hi guys, been a while since I've posted something. Life butts in every so often:heh:. I would love it if I could get comments of this piece I've just "completed". I am very uncertain about the transition around 1:00 (mainly the piano chords) and several other small details throughout the piece. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where they think the problem might lie because I am having a tough time figuring it out. Thx:lol:

Also, can if anyone is able to tell me why some notes don't show up on the pdf when I extract it that would be great. I currently use doPDF so if anyone have a better one, do tell :)

I love the piece. Is very sweet and playful. That part of 1:00+ has the exact melodic line from "Can you feel the love tonight?" by Elton John.

I use primopdf for make my pdf files.

Yes, I incorporated that part in cause I simply loved that song. My gf and I went to watch the theatre version of lion king during the summer and that song has been going on in my head.

I guess you could say it's my small tribute to Elton John :lol:

Haha, cool. One of my friends have quoted famous composers in his pieces intentionally for the same reason.

Oh, and welcome back! :D

I really like it man! Very well thought out and executed! Welcome back!

I use cutePDF to do my PDF printing. It's free with no strings attached.

Really pretty piece :) I think you can explore more harmonic oppertunities though. Extentions etc. But it's really nice :)

Thanks for the positive feedback, I'm glad you guys liked it. I think I use to have cutepdf but it gave me a compatibility error after a windows update :\

I do realize that I kept the harmonies over simple but I didn't want to over complicate myself and end up trashing the piece. Writing a lyrical simple melody is probably my stronger areas so I decided to use the KISS principle and put more effort in managing the instruments effectively. I still think I over did the piano at certain parts...so much more to learn:P.

Appreciate your comments tons,
KK

Some of you already know, I've been writing music for a game in design called Waves of Fate. I asked the designer and he said he won't mind me posting some of those pieces. So here's some highlights, enjoy :)

Just got my new software last night. For the first time ever, I can finally mix drumset with my orchestra. Things are still kind of confusing cause I dun really get how the mixer and sequencer staffs work right now but I'm pretty satisfied with what I see so far.

Can anyone teach me a bit about drumset notation. Specifically, are there such thing as an open/closed snare? Not on/off but open/closed. Also, I don't know how to notate ride cymbals, and half open hi-hats. I'm not really getting the sound I want with the crash cymbal either. Is there different ways to notate it for where on the stick you want it to be hit by?

Rock band intro piece, enjoy. :lol:

wow i really like the intro. what software are you using?
sounds like fl studio...

wow i really like the intro. what software are you using?

Thank you, I currently use Notion3. It's a notation/sequencing program with its emphasis on the notation side of composing. If you would like to know more, just search notionmusic in google and it should be the first link.

Final Composition Assignment 2009. Please have a look at the score as there are instructions that's not played by the samples. The piece will likely be a rondo with something weird happening. Though I am still not certain, I think students in this composing class gets the performance of their final composition recorded. Looking forward to hearing some comments/suggestions :lol:

I've downloaded both Primo and Cute-PDF and they both work wonderfully! Thank you for the suggestions guys. I think I will keep both in case some new windows update breaks one again.

Trick or Treat!

My first choral piece. Special thanks to deathraider who spent a whole hour or two with me discussing about the piece and where its short comings are.

This is a choral prayer piece written in an ancient lost language (AKA my very own giberrish). The lyrics have not yet been set. The two phrases translates roughly to "O great moon we pray upon thy, O great moon we receive from thy." Please listen to this piece as though you're listening to a piece that elves might have sung hundreads of years go in a distant fantasy land.

Hey have you listened to Thomas Tallis's setting of "O Nata Lux"? I think it could help you a little. If you want to listen to a recording, let me know.

Also, this version doesn't seem that much different; I notice some differences on page 2, but none on page 1. Is this correct?

Yes, I did not change page 2. Since I decided to not follow any rules, I went solely with what sounded nice. though the 6/4 did sound different to me, it didn't sound bad and so I left it as it was. I am thinking of making the end of the first phrase a GM6/4 so that it matches the others.

The final composition is fun, but the melody does not sounds so unique and personal. I like the various effects you have used in the piece. :> What are suppose to mean those words in the initial bar? I found it funny, but what is its purpose? Does the performer has to laugh like that or have to try to imitate something alike with the instrument? Personally I would love the first one I mentioned. :)

haha, thank you. and yes, the performers have to laugh as evil as they can on the vowels provided. The flutist is male and the other 2 female.

I am writing the piece like a stage play. 3 kids wonders into a haunted house on halloween night is the general idea. More dramatic things such as, one of them will disappear (from the stage), goes around, comes back from behind the audience, screams and goes back on the stage and ect.

it'll be a fun performance...I hope:heh:

Hm, I would think this choir composition as elvish. I would probably expect something more along the lines of Gregorian chant to be elvish. lol It just doesn't have that flowing feel that I would expect it to.

Been working on the final composition and I've gotten another bit done. Note that the playback does not fully reflect my intentions with the piece so please have a look at the pdf as well. I'm open to any suggestions so if you guys know anything about playing these instruments in a weird way then please tell me.

Cheers!
KK

I've received word that the performance will be recorded (Dec 2). Frankly I can't wait to see how this piece might actually work with people :P.

PorscheGTIII: Ugh I hated my intro history course cause it was all about listening to gregorian chants. I had no idea what the lyrics were so to me, they could have been elvish and I wouldn't know haha! Could u maybe elaborate the "Flowing feel" that you spoke of. I'm kind of confused by what you mean.

Measure 36 is fantastic!!! and measure 68 too!! Loved it. :lol:

Hm, I would think this choir composition as elvish. I would probably expect something more along the lines of Gregorian chant to be elvish. lol It just doesn't have that flowing feel that I would expect it to.

I agree. I'm not sure how to explain it more than what I've already said to you, though...:\

What I mean is that, I'll be listening to it and the all of a sudden it takes an unexpected turn that doesn't feel right. What I would expect to hear would be something along the lines of "Si Ingora Te."

Wow, I'm a big fan of your Final Composition! What a bunch of fun. I love the main melody, and I'd be really interested to hear the live performance, what with that plucking inside the piano and all.

The choral piece, however is significantly weaker. It didn't seem like it was going anywhere in particular.

If you're going for a fantasy (medieval?) feel, you might want to look at some Thomas Morely stuff or "Never Weather-Beaten Saile" by Thomas Campion.

If you're going for more of a Howard Shore-ian fantasy, then I recommend Howard Shore (obviously), or some Eric Whitacre stuff. He's a nice fusion of very old and very new styles.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi2kZtHk8mM&feature=related

Food for thought.

Oh, and if you take the medieval route, try adding some drums to the mix. (Not a drum set, obviously, but one of those hand drums made from hide.

I would actually suggest if going for an Eric Whitacre feel that you look at Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine because of the major Monteverdi influence there. I would also suggest studying Thomas Tallis, because I think his styles are similar to what you're going for (take "Spem in alium" for example...).

Wow, I went away during my reading break and I find all these awsome comments on my page, thank you guys. Lux Aurumque was a beautiful piece. I loved it, I really did...it just wasn't exactly the style I want to go for though.

It's the first time I ever wrote a choral piece so I know there's alot of weaknesses still :heh:.

I think the opening to spem in alium was close but still not quite^_^.

I took the piece to my prof and we found some very awkward dissonance in there that wasn't meant to be in there so I'm fixing it up right now.

Heres a piece I've recently done. Like most of my other ones, its not the most original but its simple and nice sounding:sweat:

I finished this battle theme but it wasn't accepted cause it didn't give the correct atmosphere :cry: Well, win some lose some. :)

The guitar was a bit louder than the rest instruments. From a personal taste, I could not like much the main theme. But loved the other sections you did! The track is very well done in terms of composition, you keep things balanced. The previous one is simply sweet. :)

20views, am I seeing the numbers right? Geeze I just posted the battle theme like an 2hours ago or something. Yeah I was playing with the dynamics and mixer alot for the electric guitar. The program seems to just make the other instruments softer once it reaches a certain point. I actually wanted the strings to be a bit louder in some sections but it kept effecting the guitar solo<_<

Thanks for the comments!

Those 20views, probably was me, trying to download it, lol.

damn, u got my hopes up haha! u couldn't get it to work?

It was my internet stopping the download, but you see I was persistent to listen, haha. Maybe audacity can help for the mixing? :)

So here is the rough draft of my final composition. I will be meeting with the players on Tuesday to go over it to make final adjustments. :lol:

Hi guys, here's something...jazzy? I dunno, have a listen:sweat: and hope you like it.

The opening is an unveiling SFX.

The scene:
The main character is forced to Xdress into a girl to hide from the soldiers chasing him and thinks that he looks pretty cute when he sees himself in the mirror. His girl partner makes fun of him after.

A little fanfare loop on midi.

This piece uses only 1 note. Just a little experiment I did for fun.:lol:

Edit: Would anyone be able to tell me whether the overtones would come across in this piece if performed in a medium sized hall with a high ceiling?

So here is the rough draft of my final composition. I will be meeting with the players on Tuesday to go over it to make final adjustments. :lol:

Holy shit! This is an amazing work, seriously you are talented. I'd love to hear/ see this performed live. Also, while reading your indications in the score I thought "wow this has to be a lot of fun to play!" XD.
There's nothing I have to say, this doesn't deserve to be commented, it just has to be enjoyed and admired.

Congratulations.

I'll try to check your other works :lol:.

The piece has been recorded in sound but not yet recorded in video. :heh: I've been trying to sign out the recordings for a while now but its been signed out by other people the whole time and now its closed for winter break so I can't get it till winter startsx_x.

That is cool the effects you did with the samples! About your question I don't know really. The piece feel more like "hide" than hide and seek. =p

I like the happiness of your fanfare. Funny Casual theme sounds more like a day when someone is bored and have nothing to do. Then start exploring around. Quite cool, haha. Lyrical battle, was fun with that old style. The drums and bass were too soft in my speakers as for fulfill the piece.

Each of those piece sounds good for a video game or cartoon. The thematic of your pieces is good for that.

This piece uses only 1 note. Just a little experiment I did for fun.:lol:

Edit: Would anyone be able to tell me whether the overtones would come across in this piece if performed in a medium sized hall with a high ceiling?

Interesting piece, though technically it's only one note if you count octave equivalents (and also you slipped down a half-step or so briefly :P). When you say overtones, do you mean the isolated harmonics/flageolet tones from the strings? (cause technically you're pretty much always going to have overtones when you play a note normally)

If so, I think you should be able to hear it fine in all places but the ending - it's probably going to get buried at that volume.

Actually, those momentary "semitone" you hear are only 1/4 step up/down. On samples, they sound like 2 distinct tones but when played it would be alot more smooth. I actually wanted only 1/8 tone down but I didn't know how to write that, nor did I know how to get the sample to play it. Those pitches will be produce by de-tuning the instrument while playing the same note. Eg: rolling the flute in and out or rolling the finger on a string instrument.

As for the overtones, I think I should explain my question a bit more. I've read recently that when you hear one sound for a long time over a numerous number of timbres, your ears begin to adjust, allowing you to hear the different notes in the overtones. This is a process that happens inside ones ears rather than through the instrument itself and I have heard (no confirmation) that this would occur alot more easier in a larger hall where there are more echo. This is what I meant when I asked, if this piece was performed, one might hear a similar effect. I thought 1/4 of a tone down and up might help produce that effect more easier but I can see that didn't work out too great, especially since the lack of a smooth transition made it pointless. :heh:

I think that Final composition 2009 deserve more attention from listeners here. ;) It's a very enjoyable piece with many nice effects. After the mid part, it felt a bit like you was not so sure how to continue. And your ending happened too fast. If that was the intention, you left me wanting to hear a more extended ending than a suddenly one, lol.

Here is the recording of Final Composition. This is not the actual. I extracted the audio from a camcorder taken by my dad. That's why the whisper tone is a bit hard to hear in this but its better than nothing. The effects themselves I thought worked out very well! The lid slamming echoed for quite a while in the hall :P

Thank you to my 3 players who took time out of their schedule to play my piece!

Please follow the sheet music.

Note:huh:: This is a very leisure performance with minimal rehersal. Suspended cymbal is not included because we could not find a bow.
Violinist did get lost so the other two players proceeded without him for a bit after the exit. The tempo is incorrect in one part :heh:

Enjoy!

PS: I still chuckle at the violinist's scream :lol:

Fun :lol: love the vocals! Amazing.

Are you going to get a better quality recording of the performance? I hope so, because this one SOOO doesn't do justice!

I'm not really sure if I can get it re-recorded. If anyone would want to record it for me then that would be awsome too. The better quality version of this recording is at school and I won't be able to get it until after winter starts:unsure:...in about a week or so.

Well that's what I was talking about; I just meant that the recording quality was really bad on the one extracted from a camcorder. XD

I too would like to hear a better version of it... orz

This is a trailer piece for a friend's film project. It uses more or less the entire orchestra. Fairly cliche but...its a trailer piece...:lol:

This was refreshing to me after listen to a lot of trailer music. I did not find it... cliché. At least not compared with the usual trailer music, haha.

Did you compose it based in the video or the video will be based on the music for the trailer? I would like to see how the music complement the video. :>

The piece is nice, I feel it shows your style, because it reminds me to some of your older stuffs.

I thought the trailer theme music was very nicely done. I like how you had the brass playing a ground bass throughout the entire piece. Nyu001 is right, you have a distinct style with your music, something I admire. I also looked at your finale composition 2009. Very clever indeed. I especially like the specific performance notes you put in the score, and how the main theme evolved throughout the piece. It seems a bit like a character piece to me. Did you have something specific you were trying to portray? I look forward to hearing a better quality recording in the future.

I too would like to see this music with a video.
It sounds battle-ish or in a pinch. ^^;
Does what I wrote even make sense?

I am currently trying to get my hands on the "better" recording. How stupid is it when you have to sign out your own piece and get approval from the department ugh!

Neways...here is a haunting piece. The music was first written, then reversed using an audio editor.

I would get rid of the triangle and the hit. Does not feel like is coming in the right moment reversed.

Interesting piece man! Maybe you can add a section that completely contrasts the 1st. That's just my opinion though. I like the ideas! Sounds good too!

I would not get rid of the percussion. It sounds way too cool for that.

Hi guys, its been a while since I posted anything now I think. Thx for the comments btw. A new piece I've just finished for a friend's film project. Not quite full orchestra but the important instruments are there :heh:. The piece is meant to be 30s...give or take .5seconds of silence at the end. It sounds kind of contemporary to me but tell me what you think!;)

Sounds more like it came from old video games or animations.

...Sounds more like opening than ending... -__-

It sounds too vibrant to be at the end... maybe that was just a naming mistake though :heh:

Nyu: Like all of my other music?;)

Mushy: I totally see where you're coming from. It's definately not the usual thing you'd expect as an ending theme. But my friend was quite specific at what he wanted as his ending theme and said that the "ending theme" was exactly what he was looking for so that's why its the...well...ending theme. :lol:

Haha, did not notice I have mention it to previous compositions done by you. Though is a good thing that each track can relate to each other like that.

By the way the piece brings to my mind this kind of scene of a dangerous stage that is very close to the boss in the game. And you must be careful to not die and avoid all the attacks done by the enemy. Your chromatic notes feel like enemies are dropping bombs from the air to you, and the trills add tension to the player. Also, with the timpani and snares it gives to the piece a feel that you are going to a fortress or a military base.

Now that you mention it, it really does LOL!! That's awsome!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3bR-d6vf04

This is a film project. Music for the project is written by me and Kevin.:lol:

I keep getting an error that does not let me see the video. Maybe is me, so I will try to watch it later. o,o

Ah, it's me.

Hmm... O_0

Hmm... O_0

is this an "I don't get what's going on" or "I still can't see it" or "that's interesting" hmm?:sweat:

intro 1 paragraph
body 2-3 paragraph
conclusion 1 paragraph

huh? spam bot?

is this an "I don't get what's going on" or "I still can't see it" or "that's interesting" hmm?:sweat:

It's a "I don't get what's going on". :heh: I am not too good understanding verbal English, so I have to pay close attention to what they are saying and ignore anything else for to be able to understand a bit better. I did not like most of the time the music in the background, it felt like it was not working too well with the visuals. In occasions there was a guitar that distracted from the words.

haha, the video talks about accounting theory and basically utilizes some of the things we learned over the semester. The video itself was made to be like a trailer for the documentaries that we had to watch about Enron. It can be a bit complicated for the general public, especially if they aren't that fluent in English. Not to mention, the content is extremely boring. I'm surprised that you actually tried and listened to the whole thing x_x Lots of thanks for that!!:lol:For me, I actually thought the music fit pretty well but I guess that will differ between different people's preferences.

a minimalistic piece I wrote for fun^.^

This feel like a lullaby to a sweet animal that is falling asleep but still has its energies that does not let it fall asleep fast. But in the end it just fall asleep.

You and those visuals you provoke in me... I like it, haha. xD

maybe it's me... but i think i noticed a little changes of "CLONG!" placements. like i would anticipate the "CLONG!" and sometimes i would "CLONG!" hear... prior to my anticipation and sometimes it wouldn't hear... the... .... i guess "CLONG!"... oh there it is. :heh:

that is because the "clong" as you put it, comes in once every 7 beats. The piece consists of 1bar, 3bar, 4bar, 5bar, and two 7bar patterns which are repeated without without any change for the entire duration of the piece. the "mini" is my pun to minimalism:lol:

i looked up the both "pun" and "minimalism" lol. it all makes sense now... especially the minimalism part. nevertheless.. i liked it alot.

First piece in 6months. BGM for a mystery game played while characters explains their thought process. The piece is meant to be looped so the ending probably sounds wierd the way it is but enjoy!

did you have any help with the percussion, or is that all you? i think it'd be nice to add a synthesizer around 1:47 mark. just for a little bit. ending was nice to me, at least. it's a very catchy theme. something to be introduced in a low key cafe while some sh**'s going down. ahah.

that's all me dude :D What do you mean by a synth, could you elaborate a bit?

Thx for comment!

Nice and simple. I like it!

[QUOTE=KaitouKudou;467292]that's all me dude :D What do you mean by a synth, could you elaborate a bit?QUOTE]

you know...:huh: like.. the thing that sounds like voice "ooh". add it for some chords harmony so it's alittle more dramatic... not too much, but just enough in my opinion. yeah?:blink: i think that makes sense:lol: hopefully.

I don't remember if I told you this, but I like the reverb add to the percussion. I feel it complement very well with the theme of this piece, at least if you visualize it as you are inside a place deducting rather than outside.

Holy smokes, this forum's gotten so much more pro since the last time I came on haha! That is awsome!

I finally got some free time between work and more work to write something.
Still deciding on how to progress from here but I think its going okay so far. Comments and Reviews are well appreciated...as always.

Sounds like a Final/Serious Battle theme. Nice orchestration and use of the synth/sample (Is it a different one of what you were using? If not, you have improved with it). I would like the snare to go quiet for a moment later in the continuation of the piece and with some rhythmic variation.

Nice piece. :)

Edit:

#)$%& # at my English grammar in my previous comment.

I'm still using the same old notion3. just trying to do more with the brass and breaking out of my comfort zone. :lol:

I like it, it's driving and exciting. I'm a sucker for those trills. Good work! (:

Holy crap, I detect some late 1990s influences. Like Lunar 2's Fierce Battle (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Nu0rQlPhLU) theme. I'm curious as to what your motif and image was as you were writing this, as you titled the song "Winning Battle". Who is wining (good or evil). If it's the good side, the song kinda betrays the listener, as the medieval progression and orchestration gives off a more minor than major sound.

If it's the good side, the song kinda betrays the listener, as the medieval progression and orchestration gives off a more minor than major sound.

To tell the truth, that title was actually given when I was only about 10measures into the music. The piece was really just started because I wanted to write something again and that I wanted to use more brass because it was always my discomfort zone. As I wrote it, I just kept writing what naturally flowed for me in my head. I've changed the second section probably 4 or more times before posting it, even though I'm still not really satisfied with it. In my mind, I just imagined that the antagonist of a mech anime was heavily outnumbered and about to lose but then some miracle (help of the devil) happens or gains some new equipment that makes him powerful and owns everything in sight. I chose to keep the title because I thought the moments of darkness in the music would be nice when the camera zoomed out to show rows after rows of enimies before they are all anialated (sp?). That about sums up what I was picturingXD

Here is a full score transcription I did of "We were so close" from Gundam Seed based on a request I got from a long time ago. I must say it was ALOT of fun doing it! I'm posting it on both threads just cause I actually feel pretty good about how its turned out.:P

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx80S5GD50A

Edit: Reuploaded both pdf and mp3. Changes include a slower tempo, some minor notes/articulation corrections to better reflect the original quality.

Nice transcription--accurate; this is my first time hearing that piece and I like it a lot. (:

Winning Battle was awesome. I couldn't help but listen to it once more. Your orchestration definitely shines on its own.

As for the Gundam... the original sounds just like that or did you add/subtract some instruments?

Aja: Thanks, I try :)

Ander: My intentions were to make it sound exactly like the original. To reproduce its score with as much accuracy as I can and recreate the sounds heard in the original. I couldn't get the sounds to match the original perfectly since I will never have access to the samples the original used but aside from that, I think I achieved my goal.:lol:

Accurate! :D

at least now it should be...more or less :sweat: I found some wrong notes, right in the easy intro too.

You are right. I think I heard a clarinet doing something different in the tutti. Still very very accurate transcriptions. XD

I really like the beginning of Winning Battle. Is there any way to shorten the sound of the cymbals as might be done in a live orchestra? They seem to reverberate for too long which makes them get in the way. Also, in the second half of the piece, I wish you'd stick more to the creepy, atonal sound you have in 0:40-0:52 because when you switch back to tonality after 0:52 your lose some of the drive because it kind of doesn't feel like you know where you're going harmonically.

A short lil happy anime BGM. It's Cliche I know:lol: I did not do anything much with the dynamics other than a small outline on the score so sorry for some of the unbalanced parts.

Comments are appreciated as always!
Enjoy!

it feels like shopping during the winter time. perhaps snow and the visible breath coming out of excited people. haha. i like the last part too....bumbumbumbumbumbumbumbumb.... lol. maybe you should drop the cymbols at the 1:02.... but I know how one change leads to multiple changes... lol so I guess what I'm saying is that there are too much cymbols... and I don't see how that can represent shopping... unless it symbolizes someone keep crashing into things because they can't see over their shopping bags and boxes. This could be the soundtrack to many girl's shopping days.

The chord progression is a little bit simplistic, using either I or IV or V, which isn't necessarily bad. It sounds listenable, and pleasant, and I think it would fit a shopping scene. So, yeah, it's nice. =)


But, one thing... That's a lot of reverb.

In an opening or ending, so much might not be out of place, but I can't recall the last time I heard an anime BGM tune with as much reverb as this "Let's Go Shopping!" tune. Just something for you to consider cutting back on.

Ander: Thank you, I think you are right regarding the cymbols. I tried not to blow the music over the top to avoid moving into a tangent mood but I guess I still over did it a bit anyways. :bleh:

Solaphar: unfortunately I cannot control the reverb of the instruments as the samples just come like that. I had even turned the amp sim.'s spring reverb to 0 for the bass guitar. Glad you liked my cliche! :)

I like your music, Kaitou. It's straight-forward sounding, and easy on the ears. I think with a little more practice, you'd do well as a games/anime composer. =D
I liked the battle music, but the main theme for the song wasn't memorable enough for me, and there was no one part that made me think "wow, that was really clever!" which is a trademark of all catchy battle music, hahah. Anyway, I'll be looking forward to more of your stuff. It's very good.

The only I did not like of the shopping piece is when the theme raised its tone (and reverb), that was the cliche part to me, lol . The piece is fun and I do see it working in a video game as a shopping theme. =D

Well... That's why I said it sounds like shopping during winter... 'cause it's got that warm feeling to it.

Yeah... yeah, I guess.

It seems that how one interprets the reverb in context can make a difference in perception.

due to some unexpected series of event, I am now writing music for this guy from singapore for a competition at his church. This is the first verse + chorus. The rest of the song will most likely be a repeat with some different embelishments. Comments would be appreciated as always! :lol:

I don't mean to say that a lot of the church songs are the same, but this song is kinda cliche to that.... Maybe it's cause you're trying to appeal more to the mass, I don't know... or it's because it's always the same intruments.... again I don't know. I like the build up for the chorus... and another build up was even nicer. haha.

The intro was a little bit too long to me, and the snare in the chorus made me feel stressed. o_o The melody is cute though.

It is totally cliche I know, :heh: but I was told to make it sound similar to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIt9n2Wjlf8. :hey: I am definately more of the "appeal to the masses" type of guy. Although I try to break away from the stereotypes even though they seldom work out too great lol. I actually shortened the intro before I saw your comment Nyu so I was a bit surprised when I saw it. I did make some changes based on your comment about the snare though.

Thanks for the comments guys, here is the finished final version I submited. The requester seemed quite pleased with it so I guess it worked out.:D

It definitely has that "something to lean on" feeling. Good work.

I like the piano when the first verse is repeated. Overall the song is fine. Did you find it hard to compose when you was told to sound similar to another song?

To tell the truth it makes it alot easier for me. I always ask for a musical reference for all requests because its almost impossible to write something that they want based on their words alone.

That has been my biggest stumbling block with our current project...

The same happen to me, lol. You just want to sound better than a template... then the template is Star Wars Opening.

I ran into a writer's block so I decided to write something completely unrelated to anything as a change of mood and hoping it will get me going again lol:sweat:.

Intro + little bit of a piano concertino in classical style. I guess I'll slowly build on this and see where it goes.

Enjoy!
KK

So cute and delicate! It makes me imagine an elegant room. It would work as a library theme for a video game, lol.

exactly what Nyu said!

Recently finished scoring for a small local film. I can't upload most of the pieces that was written as request of the director but here are some that he said he would not mind.

I like it. I guess we can't really press you for information on what's going on in this "Final Scene," but it doesn't sound like anything good! The tremolo is commendable.

I think these tracks are a nice complement to your soon-to-be-winning entry in the most recent competition. It shows a huge emotional and stylistic range.

Are you going to have live recordings of this music in the film, or is it going to be digital?

It will be all digital. It is actually finished already. The film has been entered into quite a few film competitions as well. The director just don't want me to go public with the osts until after it airs on TV sometime in fall.

I hope I catch some of your songs on TV and go... "Wait. Wait a minute. I've heard this song before. I know I've heard it. Where have I heard this? Now it's killing me." :heh:

Just something I've been working on. Just another cliche piece to save some brain cells trying out some of stuff with the drum samples. The song is still work in progress...enjoy.

Whoa... that electric guitar came out of nowhere. and I don't know if that's a good thing.

:think: The electric guitar isn't so surprising, there a short break before it come.

I think that if the effects and the balance are worked, it will be fine.

Else, as it is still in progress, i can say that it's in a good way :)

Wow. This was really impressive from start to finish. I love the build up. Like a boss.

I think that if the effects and the balance are worked, it will be fine.


well.. that may be so.... but I still think it's too weird. If anything I think the electric guitar should come later in the piece. Maybe like 2 min into the song. If not then... bass guitar should rev up the joint, but that'll be my approach. That electric guitar just.... bothers me a bit. Let's just hope you're right about the effects and balance being the case.

So I made some instrument changes and balancing. I currently don't like the women's choir section from a balance perspective and a general entry and exit perspective but I guess I'll just work on that. At first I did have an electric bass playing that rev but the sample didn't sound good so I changed it. I changed the electric guitar to a more darker sample now though.

Enjoy and let me know what you all think.

PS: EWQL FTW WOOT!

okay okay okay... i was wrong about the electric guitar. It doesn't sound weird... BUT!... I do wish that it would come later in the song... but that's just me. It's either that.... or keep the same chord for at least 8 measures and then get in to the chord progression that you have right now. Like... keep the Bass E E E E E E E E and repeat it 3 more times right after the drop of the beat and before the chord changes... you know what I mean...? ^^ no? maybe? :heh: Well... I think that may bring out more about your climax... which is already good... but just because it ain't broke doesn't mean you can't tinker with it. (a reference from sims3)

A song dedicated to my girl friend that I am planning to have performed in our company choir's spring concert. I haven't written the piano part or the lyrics yet. I'm actually not sure if I even need a piano part. I think I will make the form more or less A-B-A'-C-A-(D?)-A.

Comments and advice would be welcome!!

So I got a bit further and I've decided to include a piano although I'm still not sure if I just want it to come in at where it is at right now or from the beginning. Any comments? This is still technically my second choral piece and the first one was an utter failure lol. I think every voice is at least on a comfortable range. Should a soprano be able to hit a high A without too much trouble?

Your voice leading looks good, and that's really the most important thing to remember in a choral piece. And a high A is perfectly doable, as long as you don't mind it being forte, and as long as you don't put too many in the music.

I think it's brilliant up to the guitar bit, after that it sounds way too 'sample-y' and generic.

Wow, did those voices come from EWQL? That sounds really nice!

Haha, what can I say. I'm the cliche guy lol. Yup, those were the samples from eastwest.XD

Hi everyone, now that the competition is over, I decided to post this up. It seems like Nyu missed my prompt. No matter, it was just the lyrics of the song and I changed it up alot since then anyways. The instruments have been rebalanced (Yes the bass and drum volume was dropped significantly), harmony changed towards to end to lessen the repetativeness of the song based on suggestions from Gotank.

Lyrics:
我喜欢和你牵着手走在公园里
就像在电影里的情节是如此的浪漫
你知道你在我心里你有多重要
我们的时间，每一分一秒，都是在我心里面最珍贵的回忆

无论未来是怎样
我会一直陪着你
在晴天，或雨天，
我都要跟你度过

我们两个的幸福
保证不会让你孤独
我的爱，相信我
我们一定会一起，走到永远

我希望和你牵着手一起走到老
就像童话里的一章节，还那么的温柔
我相信到那时候在我们心里面
我们的时间，每一分一秒，还是我们心里面最珍贵的回忆

无论未来是怎样
我会一直陪着你
笑着哭，哭着笑，
我都会在你身边

我们两个的幸福
保证不会让你孤独
我的爱，相信我
我们一定会一起，走到永远

无论未来是怎样
我会一直陪着你
笑着哭，哭着笑，
我都会在你身边

我们两个的幸福
保证不会让你孤独
我的爱，相信我
我们一定会一起，走到永远

The chorus just keeps repeating towards the end so I decided to leave it out.

Translation:

I like holding your hands and taking walks in the park,
just like a scene from a movie, it's so romantic.
Do you know how much you mean to me
Our times, every minute every second, is the most treasured memories in my heart.

No matter what the future brings
I will be with you
Be it raine or shine
I want to get through it with you

Our happiness
will never let you feel lonely
My love, believe in me
I know we can walk for all eternity together

(2nd Verse)
I hope I can hold your hands until we are old
Like a chapter from a fairytale, ever so gentle
I believe when that time comes
Our times, every minute every second, will still be our most treasured memories

No matter what the future may bring
I will be with you
Laughing as we cry, or crying as we laugh
I'll always be by your side

Our happiness
will never let you feel lonely
My love, believe in me
I know we can walk for all eternity together

No matter what the future brings
I will be with you
Be it raine or shine
I want to get through it with you

Our happiness
will never let you feel lonely
My love, believe in me
I know we can walk for all eternity together

So yeah, a song of reflection and hope for the future. I know I didn't hit that high note at all...amongst many other notes...but hey I'm a composer not a singer lol. Currently planning to make a music video for the song. Also found a better singer to help me record the song. Hope you'll all check it out when it comes out the end of May.

Cheers and hope you like the song!

waaa i like "我们的时间" so much more here.. the clarinet can never replace your vocals ^_^

Just playing around with some rock samples.

This, less reverb, must have. You are losing a lot of punch, lol. The track is fun for a fight or car game.

Reworked the reverb.

I heard ringtorch. Is that you singing? Or did you hire a singer? Sounds like you are into electronic and band music. I will get my music up in early September. I hope you like cello music. ^__^
