Title: theme song
Post by: joelphilippage on Tue 10/04/2007 02:46:57
I have found what i think is a good system for making music and this is a theme maybe for my next game.

Not entirely bad, but it seems a little random (both rhythm and melody wise). How did you go about composing this? What do you mean by "a system for making music"? Unless you are completely unmusical, finding a mathematical/logical "system" for composing music is generally not a good idea, in my humble opinion. :) Might as well let a computer generate the tune for you!

Now for the good crits! It has a nice semi-asian feel to it. The instruments work well together, and the structure of the song is pretty good. If you are new to music, this is a good start!

by system I mean that I have Think of one good tune (usually somthing that pops into my head) and put that on a midi maker, I then write verses in between the main part and add background interments. I don't really like the sound of midis so I use audiacy to make it sound more realistic.

It would be good ambient music, but I'm not sure it is entirely a 'tune'. Certainly not a theme tune.

It also seems disjointed, but you can work with this if you like.

Its more of the kind of think id expect to hear in a slightly spooky room of a game. I wouldnt want to hear it as a theme song.

It's pretty tough to critique this.  If it's just something you want to slap on some game, ok.  Otherwise, I dunno.  The rhythm is all choppy and it hurts my ears to strain to understand it.  Seems a bit loose and lacks direction in my opinion.  Also the note combination at 0:25 doesn't work at all, I'd change it.  Just my thoughts...
