To keep this thread active Iāll post a Random Friday Song. Look out for it!
Good point, as usual, but I meant active as well.
Random Friday Song:
Great song, but as a fellow composer I think you need to start making songs with a little more structure, try adding drums. Donāt worry about your last song though, because a piano only song is fine on itās own. And it was very good, but rather basic in my opinion. What I mean is that you are using only one instrument (two if you use the low piano), so you really need to go all out on a piano song. Donāt get me wrong, it was a good song, but to me it was missing somethingā¦
Why, thank you, StarWars. Iāll try to add more drums when possible. And Iāll look for that āthingā thatās missing in my new song. Where do you think I should put it in the list?
Oh Iām an active lurker, I just donāt use notessimo as much due to availability of other mediums. Canāt say much for the other guys though.
@Muselline, If I could say something about your last song, Iād actually have to disagree with star. If anything it was too complicated. Try and follow a slightly more repetitive structure. Try and follow a central theme. Donāt just come up with phrases willy-nilly and add them in whenever. Make sure theyāre intelligently designed and relative to other phrases and the central theme. Just my two cents (even though Iām british dammit). I actually enjoyed it more than most other piano based pieces on this forum (excluding skycakesā musics, of course, but she has a unfair advantage due to high levels of awesome).
Oh, and Iād tend to stay away from 3+ of the same note in a row played that quickly. Just doesnāt really sound right on a piano.
Aww I kinda have started to add in random bits to my songs. I donāt really want it to sound to repetitive, you see. Anyway it was loosely based on Mozartās Rondo Alla Turca which to me sounds pretty random.
And on the 3+ notes in a row issue, I just couldnāt pin-point where you were talking about. I donāt think I did that in that piece.
Thanks for the comments!
Eh? Sheet 1, Bars 1, 3 and 4 for example. Those three A5 notes in bar 1, the three D5ās in bar 3, and the four A5ās in bar 4. Itās just something you donāt really hear in piano music, seeing as it would mean the pianist would have to hammer down with the same finger really quickly if his other hand wasnāt available, and thatās pretty difficult. So seeing as nobody really does it, it sounds a bit alien.
And songs can sound random, but thatās usually because theyāre structured in different sections. However, you seem to have mixed everything together, and it seems a bit disjointed. And repetition doesnāt make a song sound repetitive. Itās overuse that does it. You just need to learn where the line is. That comes with time though - performance, feedback, revision, I always say.
Well Iām not really implying that this piece should be played on a real piano. I think jabbing on the keys sound cool but Iām sorry if you didnāt like it. If you think 3 eighth-notes/quavers are made wait til you hear some of my other songs.Iāll keep the random thing in mind. Thanks!
Iām bored so, Iām going to start posting a new song each day.
Synthetic Strings are SO hard to work with.
Donāt do it! Quality > Quantity
Anthony, I already know what songs I will be posting. I have 31 after all.
Sorry Iāve been nothing but an ass this whole thread, so give me a chance to assess your overall style.
Your songs arenāt structured much. They are just short, sweet and to the point. Itās pretty easy to tell that spacepixel is one of your main influences. It was pretty hard to tell this at first, but your latest song pretty much convinced me. Let me put it this wayā¦ your and spacepixelās songs would not be able to make it in the real world as real songs, but would be able to make it on a video game or movie or TV show soundtrack of some sort. If I was to be able to have a bunch song play along with my life (like having soundtrack IRL) Iād use you and spacepixelās discography. I know Iām not explaining it right so Iāll just skip to what you want to hear.
+Nice variety of instruments
+Short & sweet
+Accessible to everyone
+Nice atmosphere
+Most songs loop perfectly
-Too Short & sweet
-Too predictable
-This is going to be wierd to describeā¦ but in some of your songs I feel no love in them. Reminds me of unknowneds recent songs. Listen to unknowneds Give It Away, you can tell he loved his song alot to care to make it perfect. Now listen to a few of his recent ones like midnight circus, you can tell he didnāt really care much about it enough to make it unique and stand out.
Wow thank you for writing all that out for me
I have to say some things though:
- SP isnāt really an influence.
- None of my songs are meant to loop. In fact, I usually add a few empty bars at the end to show where the ending is.
- Well Iām sorry my songs donāt have enough love. Iāll try to ā¦ err ā¦ umm ā¦ cough
Thank you!
And Sundayās song:
Enjoy!
The vegatableās chant made me think of kirby! Good job!
Thank you! That was one of my first songs.
Iām lazy so Mondayās song:
Errā¦ Thats still vegetables chantā¦
Huh, one person noticed.
Anyway, that was just a test. This is Tuesdayās song. A companion to The Vegetableās Chant. I think this it was written before yesterdayās song.
As you can see, Iām not posting Wednesdayās song until you listen to Tuesdayās song.
