Bump.
Why it's the music which always get least amount of interests in here forum? >:(
Most of us aren't musically skilled enough to give very insightful criticism. Personally I can tell you my favorites and what I feel about them.
"Lonely music box in the orchestra"
"unforgiving world called the reality"
These felt like your most confident songs. Many of the others I listened to sounded very unsure, very uncertain. Or they just weren't to my liking. *not a big new age fan*
I don't really enjoy the songs of the dolphins and whales, if you catch my drift.
Here's the 2nd thing: You posted about 20 songs. Nobody could ever give you constructive criticism of 20 songs in a thread like this. That tells me you aren't so much looking for criticism but looking for praise. That's fine. But you asked for a reason why people aren't chiming in. I think it might be that they sense you don't actually want criticism, you want to hear good things.
I like those 2 songs! Maybe make another thread with one song and specific instructions about what you need help with.

Thanks. Well... you're right but I really don't feel right to post over 20 topics for all songs ;D
I was surprised you actually like the "unforgiving world called the reality". In my opinion it was failure, because at the time I couldn't have proper lead sound and it sounds a bit irritating and also... the worst thing... it was a shock, that I found out to only afterwards that the recording was in fact mono, not stereo, just because I accidently used mic input. This happened before I got my professional sound card.
I disagree because In fact, I was looking for a criticism... and not praise but simply opinions. My songs lacks comments so I really do not mind negative comments as well.
LOL. I really know the term of "dolphins and whales" songs and I do not want to make such, but those songs I did... it was only about my boredom, nothing else.

I second that.but i do think there good 1/2 maybe because i'm more fantasy type
I think, also, when it comes to making music for games, you need to be able to tell us what kind of game it's for, and what sort of scene/room it will be used in.
For example, if you were to say, 'I composed "Untitled Movement" for my horror game "Kill All Humans" which I will be using during a very frantic chase sequence,' then we would be able to provide you with some more constructive criticism. I would then be able to say, 'Well, "Untitled Movement" isn't the sort of thing that would liven up a chase sequence. Perhaps you could compose something that has a faster tempo, maybe include some serious orchestration with plenty of crash cymbals and bass. Because, as it stands, it sounds more appropriate for something that would be found in a sci-fi/high fantasy game.'
But as it stands, I quite like your style. The Korg keyboard is definitely something of a lost instrument, so it's cool to hear something so retro being used in a modern setting.
