So yeah, I found a CD earlier that I made in May 2006 with a load of music I've wrote over the past few years (since 2003 apparently, like the last track), and I've decided to upload it. Some pretty weird/demented stuff there, and some tracks are way better than others. But ah well.

There's 12 tracks altogether, and the final track's a WMA file, the rest are mp3...but I can recode/reupload that single track if thats a problem for anyone?

And here's the download link (in a RAR archive):

Anyway. If anyone could listen and give me some feedback of like, what parts are strongest and what kind of style I should work on most for some new stuff, that'd be great.

Last view: 6044 days 		Nice work Most of these ambient tunes would fit in nicely in an Earthbound, Super Metroid, or Chrono Trigger setting, though they don't sound exactly like anything from those games.

My favorites are Parallel, Outside in Roflmaomg, Alone, Klnewfew!, 12MeMIE, and Blinds.

For improvements, I'd suggest having that "woop woop woop" sound in A Cat called Demento Bob (the one that gets louder toward the end) do something else. By the end of the track it gets annoying, and having it grow in volume as well as end with it just maximizes that annoyance. I'd say experiment with having it fade in and out, and don't let it get so loud by the end.

Parts of Klnewfewtwo! are a bit repetitive, but I'm not sure what to suggest about that. It sounds good otherwise.

Alone could stand to have some variation in the flurries of notes that repeat throughout most of the track. And perhaps soften their volume just a bit so it doesn't interrupt the atmosphere of loneliness when they sound off.

The opening steel drum (?) sounds in Terry Wogan seem to be recorded through a low-quality device with a noticeable static hiss that suddenly disappears and reappears when they do. Sometimes that sort of thing is deliberate, and maybe that's the case here, but if that could be remedied, I think it would improve the overall sound.

I think I'll be cleaning my house today with this on the ol' iPod.

Thanks!

Yeah, that repeating noise on the cat track was actually an accident due to a delay feedback I remember.

And the first few tracks (such as Terry Wogan), were created after a day of me going around hitting various household objects, and then just experimenting with the sounds...that steel drum like sound is actually a saucepan being hit with a spoon. And it was all recorded with a crappy tie-clip mic, which was actually kinda useful.

Here's something else I just did in literally 5 minutes, it's a variation on the Midna's Desperation theme from Twilight Princess.

Sorry about the double post, but seeing as I have something new to add - ah well.

Here's a track I wrote and mixed tonight, which I feel is a bit of an achievement due to the fact that right now, I'm 90% deaf in both ears due to earwax .

But yeah. Here it is: http://www.mediafire.com/?8zt2ttk00mz

I havent got a clue what genre it is, but it mixes orchestral elements with some experimental elements and at its main section, a fast beat. Not sure if the mixing is alright or not, because of my hearing at the moment.

But yeah, opinions would be great if anyone could have a listen! I feel its much better than the other stuff I've posted previously. Thanks.

Really good work here. In general, I enjoy listening to instrumental music far more than music with lyrics and am always looking for more stuff like this to add to my library. I have zero composing talent, so I both envy and respect people who do.

So yeah, my hearing's back now.

And I've done a final mix of the track just uploaded - it's much, much better now IMO.

Improved mixing and a new snare sample, among other things.

As always, opinions would be great! thanks
