Everyone else is doing it and I'm due for a product blog, especially since I haven't written a real blog since like S4D.
These are the tracks that I think truly identify my musical style. Some of them are old but I still think they're relevant. Tell me what you think.Swan SongThis is Anka's battle theme from The Twilight Realm.This one gave me a headache for a while because I was trying to capture a sort of forlorn feel and missed it entirely. The track name felt so fitting for a character with a swan aspect, who was doomed to die.I've been told parts of it resemble the song Butterfly, but I hadn't even listened to it until well after.Twilight Sign - NightfallThis is Shaion's battle theme from The Twilight Realm.I loved composing this piece because it was one of the few times where I was able to completely capture the feel I was going for. What's more is that the fight was timed, so she'd change patterns at certain points in the track.Akumazoku no ArashiThis is Mazoku's battle theme from a bullet hell shooter I'm collaborating on with Purianite.This one was a lot of fun. I tried to portray the idea that you're being toyed with by a powerful, demonic girl who utilizes games and confusion in her patterns. I woke up humming the melody one day so for all I know my subconscious probably jacked it from somewhere. If you recognize it, let me know, but I'm attached enough to keep it right now.There's just one part I'm not happy with yet (more specifically, 2:39), and I feel I need to add one more section.I had another track I was going to post but the instrumentation is killing me right now.Also, here are some unfinished drawings. Fuck hair shading.
Look maw, no hands!Oh, and I forgot about this remix that's essentially taken me a year on and off.That's all for now.
I like your musics. Also I followed you on the cloud of sounds.
That music though…it makes me want to do creative things and i'm too busy to do creative things right now arghmore like look maw no pants amiritewhy did you have to post this today of all days kilinSwan Song once it gets going, and Akumazoku no Arashi after around 0:30…asdjfkljAdded another one that I've been meaning to post for a while. GIVE ME VIEWS.
Thanks for the detailed feedback, hel. I'll have to go over them and see if I can't improve them a bit.Also,"vicious piano lines" is the most uplifting thing I've heard in a while, heheh.SwangSwan SongIt's hard to explain and pinpoint. The tracks remind me of Touhou and the soundscapes sometimes remind me a bit of final fantasy music.
Also, https://www.dropbox.com/s/804lxc633hf1dae/swan%20butterfly.mp3It sounded better in my head.Yeah, I made that correlation after Purianite mentioned it to me. But I don't remember ever listening to the song before that, so fuck you, Xemic.
And I wonder what sounds MIDIish to you.Also, as far as Japanese influences go, I guess I'm intrigued by Touhou tracks, but the only thing that's really rubbed off on me is the need for a melody, often a fast one, and apparent, sometimes sporadic percussion.for(int i=0;i<∞;i++)
Kilin.ego++;Thanks a ton for all this feedback, guys. I actually thought reception would be a little lackluster and I didn't know if people would even listen to it, let alone have things to say.Kilin… these are excellent. Especially Akumazoku no Arashi, and Swan Song. I'd download 'em if they were downloadable :P
EDIT: Seriously. Add download links :P I want to add these to my programming playlist.I really enjoyed Swan
The piano in the beginning of Nightfall reminded me of the battle theme from Pokemon Colosseum. I also really enjoyed this.SongPIECE.
