I've decided not to use my old thread since most of the URL links dont work to certain people. Anyway, here's my latest music from my chinese album, Tales of Two Love Birds Album. The track is called "Journey To Yue Fei Town". Hope you'll like it and please comment. ^^

This was a pretty cool song! Nice job!

This was a nice song. It had a good catchy melody, nice background and precussion. nice job :)

thanks guys. ^^. Here's another track from my anime album (Princess of Justice (aka Seigi no Hime) album. The music is called "Childhood Memories". Hope you'll like it. ^_^

i've just finished composing a new track for my chinese album, Tales of Two Love BIrds. This track is titled " A Night of Remembrance ". This is actually a slower version of a town theme which i'm currently composing. hope you'll like it and plz comment. ^^

Childhood Memories
Sounds like a sad memory. I like this song a lot. It also got me wondering what the memory could be.... I got a few ideas.

A Night of Remembrence
I like this song a lot, too. It seemed happy aswell as sad. It was nice. It is also very relaxing. At times I felt like I was in China (or another Asian country) because of the style. Nice job. I like the use of the drums(?). Also, great ending!

i've finished composing 3 tracks today for my chinese album, Tales of Two Love Birds. They're titled "Sorrow", "Unforgettable Scenes" & "The Great War of China". "The Great War of China" is the track i love the most and most well-composed (according to my sister who plays organ too. ^^) in my Chinese album. However, i'm sad to say i wont post that track as i'm afraid of copyright thingy. Afraid ppl will steal other's compositions and turned into theirs. >.<. Save the best for the last. =p My chinese album is currently 50% completed. Might consider publishing the album once it's completed. ^^ Hope you'll like

Sorrow
I can't say I liked this song. It seemed.....empty. It felt like it was missing something or that it was incomplete.

Unforgetable Scenes
I like this song. It is nice slow and soft. I really like where it goes towards the middle of the song. Very nice. Quite short, though. Great ending!

ahahah. well, not all music should have more than one instrument and played using both hands or what so ever. =p . I purposely make Sorrow sounds like that, a melody without any accompanies. =p

Journey to Yue Fei Town
Good job with the percussion! It really does help to ass a nice oriental feel to it.

Childhood Memories
It sounds very nice and calming. I'd maybe vary up (or simplify) the accompaniment strings in the background so that isn't doing the exact same thing the piano line is doing. I really like the melody though. It's very nice and reflective. It really does sound like a childhood memory. :)

A Night of Remembrance
This song is beautiful!!! Some parts are very moving and might even work wonderfully in a sad movie scene or something. :lol: I really love how it sounds so relaxing. The shrill notes at the end sort of hurt, but maybe that's because I'm usign headphones. Overall, I really love this piece!

Sorrow
It sounded a bit empty. As a stand-alone track, I didn't think that it was effective because the melody didn't really seem to affect me, but I'm sure it'll work wonderfully if used in a move/anime scene.

Unforgettable Scenes
Is this the same melody as Sorrow? Oh well. It's really pretty in this form. Ah! There's a surprise in the middle! I like how it just fits into the piece while adding some variation without completely sidetracking it.

My favorite pieces were Journey to Yue Fei Town and A Night of Remembrance. Overall, you did a wonderful job. Keep up the good work!

ahahahah. sorrow and unforgettable scenes sure have the same melody but just different style of playing. ahahah. anyway, new tracks from Tales of Two Love Birds album. Once this album is completed (currently it's 75% completed), i'll consider publishing it (hopefully world wide. ahahah). Here are the two tracks, "My Mind" and "A Walk In The Sakura Garden".

p/s: Wonder anyone of you will buy this album if it's published ? >.<

i've finally finished my 1st album, Tales of Two Love Birds. ^^ This chinese album contains 21 tracks and the total running time is 57 mins+. ^^ I'm no longer posting my compositions from my chinese album. Sorry about it. =p

Journey to Yu Fei Town: I loved the melody and percussion. The ending really disappointed me, though. The energy that the percussion gave left me anticipating a great climax that never came. The energy was built up, but it was never released. Me sad. -_- But, still great.

Childhood Memories: Simple and beautiful. =D I love how the piano notes echoed so eerily after they were hit. ^_^ Made me actually wonder on what memory this could possibly be, and made me think of a bit of my own.

A Night of Remembrance: Sounds a bit Enya-like. Which is good, since I love Enya. =D This is gorgeous. I thought the timpani/gong could've used some melodic accompaniment, but it's all right as it is. Still beautiful. Loved the melody, the bass, and the instrument you chose for both.

These three pieces have a beautiful simplicity to them that makes me feel like a child again. Great style. ^_^

I'll be sure to listen to more of your pieces later. =D

Oh. Btw, if all the other pieces sound as gorgeous as the three I just reviewed (and I'm sure they are), I'll definitely buy it. =D Not like I don't have the money.

ahhahaah. Thanks for the comments. ^^ I'm no longer posting the tracks i've finish composed for the Tales of Two Love Birds album. sorry guys. >.<

My Mind
This song is very calming and it seems to have a nice them to it. Your mind always this relaxed?

A walk in Sakura Garden
You must love those shooting star kinda noises, huh? This one is good, too. Calming. Try to use thoose shooting stars less. They get a bit annoying. I like the percussion you brought in the middle. Heh he! ^^; I bobbing my head! >.< I liked the ending aswell. Very nice!!!!!

BTW, I agree with Apollo. If I have the money I'll definately buy it! Maybe....

New track from my anime album, Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime). Just finished composing this track this morning. It is waltz style. It's called "Shall We Dance?"

Hope you like it. eheheh. ^^

Shall We Dance
he he! I'm typing in sync with the song! ^^; Great opening to this song. I like the the use of percussion. For some reason it reminds me of the little toy soldier (The drums). O.O AWESOME ENDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol Nice

Toy Soldier ? LOL I guess so. AHAHAHAH. Anyway, new music from my anime album, Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime). This is a battle music. It's called TENSE. :D Enjoy ! (it's kinda noisy when it reaches the electric guitar part. LOL =p =p ). I have to admit the melody of this track is kinda weird, especially the intro part. AHAHAHHA :heh: Actually, i'm trying to learn Yuki Kaijura's style for this anime album of mine. :D She's the female composer i love the most. ^^

septermagick - "My Mind
This song is very calming and it seems to have a nice them to it. Your mind always this relaxed?"

Well, i'm always a relax person. I can sometimes compose 2-3 tracks in a day (depends on my mood though. ehehe). ^^

What do you use to compose these songs?

The intro's eerie enough. I'm exactly sure what to say. The intro's good, but it's bad, too. :think:

O.K. Now I heard when the melody kicks in, and it's AWESOME! :P

Great job! ^.^

TENSE
I like this song. The intro is really cool. >.< I'm dancing! I don't do that often....Catchy. You're one of my favorite composers. Love it!

ehehhe. As i've mentioned b4, all my compositions are composed using the software, Fruity Loops. ^^. Thanks for the comments, guys. ^^ Septermagick !!! I'm one of your favourite composers? AHHAAHAHAH. I think i below par compared to other ppl from the forum who know more and much better in music than me. >.<

I just really like your music.

ok ppl !!! NEW MUSIC from Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime album). It's called Final Settlement. Actually, you've already listened to the original version of the track Final Settlement from the album but i've noticed that it's not suitable to be known as Final Settlement as the melody is too short. I renamed the original Final Settlement as Justice. So here's the real version of Final Settlement. Hope you'll like it. ^^ Btw, near the ending part of the track is the chorus part of the theme song. :D

p/s: After months of trials, i've finally made the correct version of "Reverse Cymbal". ^^

Ooh! Such an energetic song! :lol:

I fell in love with it at once! It's so nicely put together! Keep up the great work. :)

Final Settlement
The intro sounds so much like Dog Eat Dog. O.o I agree with Mar; this song is energetic. I imagine a little battle scene and suspense and the battle--. Let's just say this song rocks. Oooh...War is over....so sad...But they won...Yay! Hehe...My little babbleling. Poor fighters...The gave up so much for this...Including lives...:cry:

ahahah. You're good in imagining the scenes. =p

ahahah. You're good in imagining the scenes. =p

Like I did for that one song... XD

ahahah. You're good in imagining the scenes. =p
LOL Really? Is that how you imagined it?

yup. exactly the same !!!!!!!! LOL> Anyway, new track from Princess of Justice Album. It's called "One Fine Day". The characters of the anime are on a journey to some sort of resort island. it's SCHOOL HOLIDAY TIME ! HURRAY !!!. I also noticed that this track is suitable to be used in an RPG game as a Ship's Theme. HAHAHAHA. Hope You'll like it. ^^

One Fine Day
Adventure!!!!!!! I like the beggining use of precussion...As well as the second qauter percussion. How about I just say I like the percussion. I like this song because it was soft and it had a sense of adventure. *Bobs head* It is mainly a big road that the characters are walking I imagine....Like the one at the end of the KH game. O.O Nice! B)

This piece produced a soothing effect. ^_^ Good job. :)

NEW TRACKS from Princess of Justice album!!!!!. Eternity will be the opening theme of the anime. :D As for Remembrance, I'm sure you'll roughly know when you'll hear the track. =p

Eternity
Good Job!

Rememberance
It was oddly comforting...Good job

Man, you never fail to amaze me! XD

Thanks for the comments guys! NEw music from Princess of Justice album. These two tracks are called "The Land of Sand" and "One Sunny Day". Enjoy !

The first is very arabic sounding, just as the title would suggests. ^_^ Very good. Love the "Hai!" stuff! XD No really, I do.

The second was also very good. Good guitar there. Keep up the good work. :) You're doing great, me thinks.

weiii. ^^ Just finished re-arranging and recomposing one of the first few tracks which i've composed for my final fantasy style game album, Lost of Ronfaure. This track is called "Jessie's Theme". Princess Jessie is a dancer. ^^
Enjoy !

I like the playful mood you set. It's a nice song! ^_^

ok ppl! New album !!!!! It's a movie epic style album called "Sakura". Here are the three tracks which i've finished composing.

1. Opening Theme of Sakura
2. The Legendary Heroes
3. Main Theme of Sakura

Hope You'll like them. ^^ ENjoy . ^^

new music from Ominous (GAME album). It's a Robot Battle Theme. ^^ Enjoy this battle theme and plz comment yea. ^.^

Nice songs! Wish I could compose like you... x_x

My Mind

This sounded so much like Joe Hasaishi! I like it!

A Walk in the Sakura Garden

This song isn't as much of my taste. It seems like something on a CD meant to help little kids go to sleep. That's not an insult, but those always made me feel uncomfortable for some reason.

oooooooooooo. Chinese New Year is just arround the corner!!! I'll like to take this opportunity to wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!! ^^

here's a new track from my latest album, Sakura. The track is titled "Hymn of Peace". It's a short one. Enjoy. ^^

oooooooooooo. Chinese New Year is just arround the corner!!! I'll like to take this opportunity to wish everyone HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!! ^^

Why not wait till the actual date to do so :P? Anyways, your new piece is a pretty decent piece I guess, though also pretty average too - again, there isn't anything majorly wrong with it, but there's also not too much stuff going on in the first place. Also, I've been wondering about these so-called "Albums" of yours - can you post one up actually, instead of just tracks?

i dont actually post my full album coz i havent finished the rest of the albums. I've only finished composing my chinese album, Tales of Two Love Birds which comprises of 21 tracks with a total running time of approx. 60mins. I dont intent to post all the tracks of a finish composed album as i'm afraid people might steal some of my compositions (i'm sure there are a few ppl who might do that), change the name of the composer and stated it's their work and bla bla bla which is kinda annoying. I'm very sorry for unable to post all the tracks.

Very good new age contemporary music. I like it.

And...

Gong Xi Fa Cai Hong Bao Na Lai ――♪ o(ﾟ∀ﾟo) (oﾟ∀ﾟo) (oﾟ∀ﾟ)o

ok ppl. I've just spent 2 days on composing this track for my game album, Ominous album. This track is titled "Charge !!". This tracked will be used in a strategy style battle where u have to plan properly on how to battle the enemies (like board game style :P ). For this track, i'm trying to learn Hitoshi Sakimoto's style. In case you dont know who he is, let me roughly tell u. :D He's the composer of Final Fantasy XII, Vagrat Story, Breath of Fire V and etc. He has lots of nice work. Most of the tracks I'm going to composer for Ominous album will be orchestral style. :lol: Anyway, enjoy this track. :lol:

Top Gun.....

TOP GUN ??????????????????

I like the song. Very heroic-sounding. ^_^

Hi folks. I've just finished composing a track for Sakura album. I'm sure u've already listened to those 3 tracks which i've released earlier. Here's a longer track. It's called "Battle With Gouryun Troops". For this track, I tried to learn John Williams' and Klaus Badelt's styles. Just simply love those two composers. eheheh. Anyway, this is an orchestral track as Sakura is a movie album. The track is 4 mins 38s. Hope you'll enjoy it. ^^

hey guys. I've decided to change my album name from "Sakura" to "Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura" coz i've thought of part of the story. =p So all those 4 tracks frmo the previous album Sakura will be placed under the new album title "Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura"

I've just made a short music which is basically a Trailer style music for advertising the movie "Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura" (even though it's not yet released as a movie /might never been released. =p . eheheh )
Hope you'll enjoy this 2 min 16s trailer music and plz do comment. ^^ :D

Besides the fact that the clash around 1:15 is a little strange, and that the beginning was kind of slow, it was very good.

Edit: Sorry, the original post didn't make sense...

Here's a new track from "Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura" Album. This track is titled "Set Sail to Gouryun Island". Hope you'll like it. :lol:

The beginning sounded a little crummy, and I expected more of a pang. It was still pretty good, though.

It reminds me of Jade Empire.

BTW for Battle with Gouryan Troops, it sounded like Pirates of the Caribean for a lot of it, and some of it sounded like Nobuo Uematsu, but not at all like John Williams. If you had used more un-technoey orchestration, it would have sounded more realistic. I've also noticed that for heroic themes and battles, John Williams often heavily exploits the brass section.

oooooooooooo. eheheheh. John Williams heavily exploits the brass section for heroic themes and battles eh? Didnt notice that. eheheh. Oh yeah, Battle with Gouryun Troops is mostly influenced by Pirates of The Carribean as Klaus Badelt is one of my fav movie composers. By the way, it's hard to use Music Softwares to make orchestral style music as the instruments dont really sound realistic enough. Just immagine and assume the instruments i used are orchestral instruments coz when i select the instruments, i mostly select instruments similar to orchestral instruments. Part of it sounds like Nobuo Uematsu's style ? Well, you know i'm a die hard fan of Nobuo Uematsu. I guess that final fantasy style is hard to be avoided. LOL It's like part of my composition style. I'm still learning John Williams' though. Oh yeah, What's Jade Empire? Never heard of it ? Izzit a game or a movie ?

It's an awesome game by Bioware.

never heard of the company b4 too. LOL . Weird name for a gaming company. BIOWARE. :D ( i heard of tupperware though. ahahahah jk.)

I've made a new music for the album, Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura. This track is titled "Entrance to The Temple of Heroes". Enjoy it ! ^^

many of your songs sound like bad hollywood productions... this one´s no exeption. around 1.04 it gets a little better. sry I dont like it one bit.:cry:
though it has its moments...

Hope I didnt hurt your feelings to bad... I have to speak my mind.

nah. No worries. Different ppl have different tastes. Your music and other composers from the forum might not be my type too. That's how the music world goes. ^^

Yeah, I have to disagree...but anyway, Bioware is like my favorite! They did Star Wars: KOTOR, too. This last song isn't too bad, although it does sound a little overdramatized. I like the melody, though.

o.O ???/ Disagree with what ????? @_@??

Well, I agree with One Winged Angel's comment about your pieces sounding like "bad hollywood productions", though it's mainly due to the lacking sample quality doesn't do it justice, especially so in the case of your latest piece. Also, I apprieciate how you try to crescendo the percussion rolls, but you need to make the velocity change exponential for it to sound somewhat convincing. The orchestration seems pretty solid, though, and you also have a decent melody going on - but maybe try to invest in some better samples, or even try using soundfonts (which are free, and some of them quite nice actually).

mind to recommend me where to get those soundfonts and are those soundfonts only for Finale 2006 or they can be used for other music composing softwares like Fruity Loops & etc? Well, I'm not a really experienced composer like you guys. I only have 3 years of foundation in Music. I gave up ever since coz of my lame music teacher who always punishes me for not knowing something. In other words, forceful teaching method that sux. >.< I'm into self learning nowadays. Still got lots to learn from other composers. ^^ There are lots of musical terms that u guys used which i dont understand. Therefore, could you please explain in ordinary english without using the musical terms ? T_T

This new one was good and all, but it just didn't quite wow me. Don't get me wrong, I think it's great. :sweat:

Therefore, could you please explain in ordinary english without using the musical terms ? T_T

Most of the terms I used were actually more on technical/production side. Sounfonts are a sample format that are natively supported by Creative/EMU sound cards, but most modern software samplers today offers support (Fruity Loops' being one of them) - however, there's also a free software that does soundfont emulation called SynthFont (http://www.synthfont.com/), so you can check that out if you don't have a Creative Labs Soundcard.

Do you know what velocity is and how to use it in MIDI? Most modern sequencers have a "piano roll" where you can sort of draw graphs to dynamically change a MIDI controllers - for example, volume, modulation, and panning, to name a few. I've attached a screenshot of Cakewalk Sonar 5 which shows you how my piano roll looks like, and in the example I roll the taiko drums, raising their velocity in a sort of exponential manner. For fast and heavy dynamic changes, you want to do in such a manner to make it sound realistic.

Wow...that's cool!

ok. this time i used different types of soundfonts which i've found on the net. This track is titled "Hans & Elaine". It's from Angelis : The Lost Medallion of Sakura album. Hope you like it

Here's a new track from my anime style album, Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime). This track is titled "Hitoshi's Theme". Hitoshi is a japanese who learns spanish sword fighting skills. He's a close friend of Yuki (Justice Princess). This track is a combination of two styles, Japanese for the introduction and the rest is spanish style. Most of the instruments are soundfonts. Enjoy ! ^^

Here's another new track which i've just finished composing for Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime) album. This track is titled "Yuki's Past". There's something wrong with the ending though. It's suppose to be a 1 min 57s track but dont know why Fruity Loops extended it to 2 min 25s. x_x Anyway,please comment yea. ^.^

yuki´s past: the thing bell something thats playing the melody is realy off, please change the sound for that. and no drums please....

nice guitar sounds and a nice song but you should make it less pompous..or what it is called...

Here's a new music from my RPG game album, Lost of Ronfaure. This is a happy beach day style music ! SAMBA ! La Vamba !! :lol: The track is titled "HOLIDAY!!". Imagine you're on a sandy beach on a paradise island on a bright sunny day, wearing sun glasses ! HAAHAHAH ! This track is inspired by Kingdom Hearts' Destiny Island. ^^ There will be a slower version of this music which will be used as a town theme. Anyway,enjoy the music and plz comment. :lol: Hehehehe

I admire this new piece very much. :) I love it. Flows very nicely.

Reminded me of Harvest Moon for the Gamecube. It would fit really well into that type of game.

Guess What ? I'm back ! AHAHAHAH. It's so hard to leave the music field! >.< I've made couple of new music for my albums but I've stopped composing any new ones from today onwards as I really stop composing music for my albums for a while (but still helping a friend to compose music for his multimedia assignment. eheheh). Let's post the recent compositions that i've done. I've made a few. Here are the tracks from Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime) album. All these new stuffs are made few weeks ago

1.Academy 2008
2. Graduation - Goodbye Academy 2008
3. kanashii (sorrowful)
4. A Bitter Past
5. Eternity (Remake version)

Graduation - Goodbye Academy 2008 is actually one of the ending themes of the anime. It's then followed by an orchestral track called "Farewell".

Such beautiful songs. ^_^

Kanashii (Sorrowful): is a nice tune but I dont think its sad at all...

a bitter past: this is a really nice little music-box piece, you should consider removing the "sleighbells" and changing the strings into the same sound the melody has.

Hehehe. Thanks for the comments guys. Anyway, let me finish off the rest of the 4 tracks which i've wanted to post onto the forum that day. =p Still from my anime album, Princess of Justice (Seigi no Hime).

1. City Al-Khamerh
2. From That Day Onwards ( My first accordian piece)
3. Missing You
4. Summon - Lorathien (another battle music =p)

Lorathien is actually a goddess who fights along Yuki's side. She's the goddess of peace, love and hope. The intro of the music is basically the part where Yuki performs a summoning ritual. The part where you'll hear strings with techno beat, follows by flute and guitar is the part Lorathien appears. At one part of "Summon - Lorathien", there's a music transition from battle music to angelic, soothing atmosphere. That's the part where Lorathien soars high above the sky, charges up her power and unleashes it onto her enemies.

Hope you'll enjoy all these 4 tracks. ^^

They're all very beautiful. And I was a little worried when I heard you would use an accordion, but you actually incorporated the instrument very well.

Good job. ^_^

lol thanks marlon. Little worried when u heard i would use an accordian ???? WHY ? AHHAAH

Here's my final music composition for the time being. This time, i've really stopped composing music for my albums already but still helping friends to compose music for their multimedia project. Here's an orchestral music from my game album, Ominous. This track will be played during a game movie scene and the music is titled "Troops of Empire Chronicle". Hope you'll enjoy this track and plz comment. ^^
