Okay. End-of-the-year, finals, and general laziness overwhelmed me, but I wanna try to start over again. ^_^

Okay. This is the first new piece I've completed in awhile. It's kind of--interesting. Most interesting thing I've probably ever made so far.

I'm interested to hear opinions about what I did with the treble clef, specifically.

Listen, por favor. :)

The concept might be interesting, but it was utterly boring to listen to. I know a lot of people are going to point out the repetetive right hand -- although that wasn't the main issue. It was the fact that it never went anywhere. No where! I mean, the beginning is a good start, but it all goes downhill after that.

The beginning I found interesting and expecting some really great material to come of it but then it just kind of...Kept going no where. After 1:00 I expected it to open up into a bigger, more dramatic melodic phrase. But then the right hand just continued clicking away. Especially at 1:46 and mainly at 2:10 I saw some great potential for an incredibly awesome melody, but it didn't really happen.You did get a little better and added some interesting left hand things, but again, the right hand. I would have loved it if it weren't for the lacking of melody. Just fix that up and it could be a very good piece.

(Sorry for the double post)

Even if you just changed things around a little bit it would make it a lot more interesting. Here is was my interpertation on the melody. I threw this together but it is at least a little less repetitive. It just takes a couple measure of your song and throws on a melody to make it more interesting. Hope it helps.

Yeah. I had a feeling there was a problem with it (particularly the right hand).

I usually wouldn't have the melody (or lack thereof) be so stagnant (even I had a problem with it) but I wanted to see try and create a sense of..."emotional stagnance"...if that even makes any sense. :heh: I don't know.

What about the middle, though? I think it went somewhere there, at least.

I'll try and make a second version and put that up.

Thanks for the feedback. ^_^

It sounded like one of those songs from one of those relaxation CD my parrents would listen to. :lol:

Boring. Please... do something about the right hand! Yes, it gets a little interesting after the middle, but nobody even wants to keep on listening to it after all the: ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, etc. It has potential, but needs to be worked on... a lot.

By the way, I noticed your next composition is gonna be 666. XD

Okay. Another piece I just completed ("When All is Lost"). I'm not so sure about the ending, but I'm pretty confident about everything else.

This is another "experimental" piece. Never composed a piece in this style before. Hopefully it won't flop like the last one. :heh:

Speaking of experimental, here's another one that I made awhile ago.

Enjoy. :)

EDIT - Btw, you might wanna turn your volume down before you play "When All is Lost". It's loud and angry and might blow your eardrums out. :lol:

I know. :lol: Typically, according to the rough draft I made of it, it's sad. Who figured? :think:

Okay. Made another new piece. I decided to do something unusual and create it with Finale, despite how much it frustrates me. (I couldn't even figure out how to make the rit. work. :mad: ). Oh, well. It's kinda short.

Enjoy. ^_^

These songs aren't my style, but I can tell they're pretty good. The only thing is the last one got on my nerves - I think you should've ended the repetitive part sooner. It got annoying. x_x

(By the way, the last one didn't end, did it?)
