Hey. I just wrote this song. It's slower and more mellow than most my songs. It has influences from many FFVII songs, mainly in the bass piano.

Im thinking of a name for it. Right now I'm thinkin "Seashore" because it opens with a seashore sound, but I dunno yet. Suggestions are welcome.

Ok, here it is. I'd love any feedback if you have any. Thanks alot and enjoy!

not a bad music. Influenced by ff7 ????? I cant feel any ff influence or style being used in this piece of music. In my opinion, this is more like a romantic and calm music. not ff style. ehehehhe. Anyway, I'll suggest the track name " A Day By The Beach". LOL . By the way, that rythm u made, izzit Slow Rock? I found that the hit hats u used seem to be a bit too soft. Overall, i'll give a rating of 8/10. ^^

It's in 6/8, so its like triplets in 4/4. The base in the FFVII theme iuses triplet arpeggios also, so thats the only relationship. As for the hi hat, I was still trying to figure out wether I should have put the louder or softer ones. I chose the softer one. I guess it was the wrong choice!

Thanks for the feedback.

It's different..

but like.. just the way its composed is how it sound modern, the slow little melody in the right hand, and the 3 arpeggios in the left.. so obvious that it is the modern style.

It's calming but nothing really stuck out for me. It wasn't very original in my oppinion. It's a nice song though.

I am impressed that you're able to switch from jazz to techno to something calm without them all sounding the same though.

maestro. i dont understand music theories. I only have 3 years of music foundation and i've forgotten all the theories. I only know how to play and compose without even knowing the music theories and terms. Hopefully u wont mind to explain what's arpeggios? T_T

...... well, say your doing a chord

ex:

C-E-G-C

well, here is an example on a midi.

its mainly just rolling the chord, but keeping the notes down. i know the arpeggio that i talking about was different. but people can make grace notes fast or sort of slow.

hopefully not to confuse you:huh:

I didn't mean it do be derogatory, I was just pointing it out. If someone didn't know what an arpeggio is, then I'm sure someone wasn't clear on what 6/8 time is.

ehehhehe. There you go, CODMAN. U've found urself a new student(me!!!! T_T) who doesnt know anything about music theories !!! AHAHHAAH. =p Anyway, who cares about what's arpeggio, 6/8 time or bla bla bla.U dont have to know all those stuffs to be able to compose a music. ^^ Just like me!!! Composing music without knowing all those things which cause pains in the backside. =p I have to admit that my compositions arent as good as most of urs but i'm still happy with what i've achieved so far. ^^ what's that word again ???? YEAH ! SELF-SATISFACTION !!!!! ^^

Ok, I fix some of the errors. I realized the melody was kinda improvised the whole time, so I wrote an actual melody. I also made the hi hat alittle louder, but I still think it needs to be louder! Ok, here it is. Tell me whatcha think.

Well, it was a good song, especially for an anime.

Also, I would not make an entirely new thread every time you come up with something... :heh:
