great song.

That was pretty amazing Fire. Nice work.

I now believe that ambient songs should not have drums in them.

Nuselline · October 3, 2010, 3:35pm

Well what genre would you put Fire’s song into then?

StarWarsXD · October 3, 2010, 6:36pm

My point exactly.

Nuselline · October 3, 2010, 6:48pm

Not knowing what genre a song goes into is hardly a point but … you’re the boss I guess.

I was thinking this too when I made Endless Snowflakes (I would consider that ambient).
The drums just seem to, well, they unbalance the song, and take away from the rest.

I thought fire did a great job of having it where the drums didnt overpower, but had complexity.
But still drums are hard to do for an ambient song without having it very boring, mainly to where it just repeats into the background.

Edit: Relistened, well that snare was overpowering at some points, others it fit in so…eh

Im hoping to change your mind StarWars, making an ambient song (with glockenspiel, fire’s song inspired me )

Edit 2: ugh, am I the only one having a share bug? Please tell me I am

Notessimo is obviously screwing with us. Bot invasions, crippling lag, ghastly share bugs, what next?

coolplay · October 5, 2010, 5:08pm

omg I have an awesome song that want to share so bad. Its my best cover yet.

That was … just … really really good.

Sheets 12 and 13 were just … I dunno … indescribable.

Didn’t like the 25+ bit though, because it didn’t really fit in.

Slippy · January 9, 2011, 10:06pm

Does this belong here?

It’s my first finished/original song.

Nuselline · January 10, 2011, 8:23pm

I’m sorry Slip, but it was too short and was kinda off-tune. A good effort though!

Slippy · January 10, 2011, 9:19pm

How was it off tune?

And it’s a loopy.

Nuselline · January 10, 2011, 10:33pm

Listen closely to measures 5 + 6. Don’t they just want to make you flinch a little?

Really, you can do better than that.

Slippy · January 10, 2011, 10:37pm

It must be the headphones I use for this. I hate when I make stuff like this, that it sounds weird to others, because they don’t have the headphones I use. =/

Kamarai1 · January 10, 2011, 11:06pm

Flinch only a little? (jk)

It definitely seems WAY too short D:

Nuselline · January 10, 2011, 11:18pm

Well A#-D#-G# don’t sound (to me) that nice together, and also the next chord is a little funny-sounding.
It’s just my opinion … nothing to do with my headphones.
