Hey guys, haven't posted here in a while... well, it's because I gave up on composing :P.

...

Well, maybe not entirely, but really haven't been able to make something worthwhile in a long time. So yeh, I ended up scrapping most of my pieces, but that didn't help at all x_x.

So I'm going to try a new approach, one which focuses on getting back to the basics and using a more analytical approach. So I'm going to be concentrating on arrangments and transcriptions for now (though unfortunately, still have a few pieces to churn out from prior engagements), and see how that works.

If anyone one has specific requests, I'll see if I can't fulfill them - especially in arranging some music for different instruments for you to play.

Anyways, enough babbling - here's a short piece I've transcribed from Shingetsutan Tsukihime, for violin and piano. Also, might as well throw this "Piano Sonata" in as well (be prepared if you wanna give it a listen though :shifty:).

EDIT: Whoops, the sonata was in double tempo for some reason. It should be fixed now.

Oooh I like the piano sonata. Awesome textures. :D

I enjoy these kinds of pieces for multiple pianos as well, and this is no exception.

I have this song for organ called Tocatta in 7 that I'd like to see piano arrangement of, but all I have is an mp3 of it.

Good to see you back at ichigos.

Hmm, I guess I can give that a try - I have an mp3 version of it too, but supposedly it's not very true to the music (ie, unstable rhythms, unexpressed dynamics/articulations). If you can send me your version sometime, I'll see what I can do with it.

EDIT: Here's the first 40 seconds or so - it sounds a bit empty compared to the organ version, so I'll try to revoice some more during the second pass through the piece.

Hey Shizeet ^_^

I was wondering if you could (/help me) with arranging the rest of the piano accompaniment of Meatloaf's song ^_^
I basicly have a basic now, but it would be very cool if I got play it more like it's played in the original song.
Anyways, we had repititions today and the part you already arranged for me really sounded nice with the rest of the instruments and the singing :)

Hey Shizeet, I now have expanded the first half of the piano part arrangements from basics to more detailed, but I was wondering if you could maybe arrange this typical 'blues stuff' at like 17 seconds and 20 seconds and 1:54 for example.. (just once, so I can see how to play them and then I can adjust it to other chords myself, and I hope you know what I mean with the 'blues stuff'^^)
Also I was wondering if you could arrange the part from 'I couldn't take it any longer' to the end. I seriously have no clue what they're playing, as I've told you before, I'm no good at recognizing high notes ^_^
I'd be very grateful if you could do this for me :)

Sure, I'll give it a shot - I'll send you the parts when I do them via im.
