Title: Song for C&C
Post by: Oliwerko on Sat 03/05/2008 18:05:53
Hi folks!

I have been working on this song for ages, and now, when it is complete, I would like some crits on it.

It's pretty long (13 minutes), but there are a few themes changing around as the song advances.

Could you please give me some pointers? Do you like/dislike it? What would you improve?


Thanks in advance  :)

I suppose this in-game music? I dig. It wouldn't be right for picking flowers in the meadow, but it could be really cool for when you reach the castle beyond the goblin city and have to take down the goblin king, or whatever.

Personally, I would take the first 1:40 or so and make it a separate piece for a separate part of the game. As for the rest, it's way longer than it needs to be, but if the plan is to have it repeat in the background while you're playing a game sequence, then I suppose too long is better than too short.

It reminds me Command & Conquer music.

To a sci-fi Cyberpunk it can be very adequated... Personally i view this song too... (what is say...)
After some minutes of hear it, will maybe get boring... But is a question of ambientation, Maybe in the game fits perfectly!

In any case, too electronic for me :P

Thanks for replies,

Well, I don't really know if it's going to be in-game or not, this is actually one of my first songs. I was thinking about the lenght before I made it, but this melody is this kind of...how to say...it needs to be long to make the ambient changes interesting. Some "monotonic kind" of song.

Anyway, I forgot to write that it would be probably split into 1:40 and the rest, maybe more. I am just experimenting, I don't really know much about it yet. Therefor I ask for feedback, for how you feel when listening to it.
