a piece of music
« on: February 04, 2007, 01:33:24 pm »
Hi Hello,

from time to time it happens, that thoughts and mind stuff is looking for a fine way to leave my head and become something touchable.

That is when I take out my good old PSR630-Keyboard and start to make music from what is in my head.

Well, a few weeks ago it happened again and I wanted to bring my first experiences in planeshift and its impressing world to some notes and sound and I started my "Yliakum-Project".
Last night, after reading many many posts that are now locked or deleted and kept me away from sleeping, I decided to finish the project and share it to this community.

Well, I have to say ... it is not "mediaval music" at all, because I'm just not able to do this stuff, but when closing my eyes and listening to this music I do see Yliakum and its wonderful citizen that brought so much to me and made me get a clue of what Roleplaying means.

So if you are interested in it and be so kind to give me your opinion about this piece of music I made by my own, I would be really grateful.

Thank you

Well done Tolol :)

I like it :thumbup:  You have a good range of feeling in there and the transitions are prety good.

I dont see Yliakum when I listen to it however, but that I think is a personal thing. it just dosent hit me as fitting into how I feel in the PS world.

but like I said I do like it :) good work.

I'm going to be as honest as I can because music is the only thing I know about and if I can help so be it. It seemed decidedly average. I'm by no means trying to be mean but the whole way through it sounded like backround music for a low budget drama series. It was perfectly executed and perfectly recorded but one thing it was not is perfectly written. You need something to hold the attention and to be brutally frank again; thats not the style that holds people's attention these days. Please keep it up though. You obviously can play well and you obviously know a little about chord patterns. If you don't read sheet music, start. It'll help.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

I liked it. it kinda went from ambient to German dark techno outfit. The way to not do this. Try something besides synth. And use one percussion set the whole way through. Like you had a nice hi-hat tapping drim kit beat. Keep the dum kit, but change the rythm every now and then to keep people interested.

Also, he human mind likes symmetry. If you have a kind of chorus harmony/melody that you put in more than once, it will be less... blah.

A chorus is very cliche. If the initial ideas were refined, the drums and guitar avoided and a few more rythemical variations thrown in it could work very well.
