Music for Stranger sequel - input please

[fivetrickpony]

I wrote and recorded a guitar track called "Katrina's Theme" for the upcoming Stranger sequel. The mood I wanted to achieve was something sad and longing.

It's only slightly longer than a minute long.

What do you think?

hey FTP, I like your song very much! did you really write this???

anyway, some crits ofcourse.
first of all, PLEASE, tune your guitar it's out of tune

second of all, I'm expecting the bass and drums to drop in at any time would be nice if they would be in it

but keep up the good work

[Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens]

This would make a very good romantic theme or title theme for a game.  I like it

Hi! Yes I did write it, in about 15 mins ... too much free time on my hand.

Actually the guitar is not out of tune, I purposely set the first two strings to be of slightly different twinge from the remaining four strings, it's part of the atmospherish effect I was trying to achieve, trying to make sure the higher notes were more metallic and off-center. But if it sounds too weird and off putting maybe I'll change it.
Maybe I'll add bass later, but I don't want to add drums, I think that would take away the feel of the song....

Thanks for listening!

Please tune the guitar...
Nice song but the incorrect strings DESTROY the feel in it. I like the electric guitar (?) in the background too.

Yours,

I think someone who can write a song like that would know if his guitar where out of tune without you lot having to tell him!   
I liked it very much.

[fivetrickpony]

LOL that's ok, I guess the intentional mistuning didn't get the direct effect, lol it looks like most people thought I couldn't tune my guitar instead of getting a cool off-centered/unconventional feel That backfired. If I decide to put this song in the game I'll definately fix the out of tune parts then.

[Daniël Brooks]

I think it's good you try to experiment, though. A fresh wind in composing is always welcome.

Keep it up!

I personally like the Slight off tuning you added it sound a little more..... well the feeling i got was desperate.

Now as for the song its self I sat down for a bit and figured it out(And BTW it reminds me of one i wrote a while ago but i dont know why)

anyway every time i listen to it i wish the light guitar in the back was louder just a bit louder

other then that i think its perfect

I dig the purposefully out-of-tune lower notes. Don't change it, really.

The electric guitar line was tastefully quiet, uninterrupting the atmosphere of the guitar.

My only comment is to maybe add some atmosphere effects in the background, like maybe the sound of wind blowing, or leaves falling.

the more i listen to it the more i agree

[fivetrickpony]

Wow, that's cool! Thanks guys, you're really giving me lots of good feedback which I can consider. Thanks for listening!

Very nice tune! This one I'm keeping in my mp3 collection lol
If you redo the song I hope you don't loose too much of that mettallic effect because it's nice.

Good luck and keep the music coming!
