damn, i'm tempted to try this out even though i've never composed anything i like. looks like fun though.

even though I've only done (almost) three tracks so far, it's proving to be an interesting process. the thing about it is that to do 14 tracks in 28 days you don't have time to be precious about them. if you have an idea, even if you think it's lame, you have to use it -- and you have to draw a line under things and say you've finished them even if you're not 100% happy. which is the antithesis of how I normally go about things.

yeah same. it's going to be hard for me to do that because i already have a feeling i won't be able to write 14. i'll probably end up just doing a few, but oh well

I like turtles.

The client? That's the one I downloaded. Or do I need the server as well?

arkarian

2012-02-07 12:02:47 am

red chamber dream

just the client. when you open it there should be a place to enter a host or server name, along with a username and password. do you see something like that?

Turtle

I like turtles.

Yup.

Hey, there's actually a way to listen to the one song I've posted so far!

very cool. reminds me of the shatter soundtrack by module. particularly this track. you've got quite a knack for this kind of thing.

dude yeah Turtle that sounds legit. It does sound like it comes right out of a space shootey game, there's like 10 on the PS3 that are like that.

DAT GUITAR

DEM SUSPENSIONS

Also, thanks. I didn't specifically mean for it to sound like anything, but hey. Maybe I'm just adaptable.

actually it would probably be good for audio surf, or even beat hazard. Probably beat hazard, since audio surf requires more bassy-ness to work well.

the entire album is fucking great, definitely recommend you check it out. can stream the entire thing here or also buy it for cheap. or just pirate it, whatevs.

Just from the one you linked to initially, I'm pretty excited to look into it.

I think you posted the Shatter OST awhile back in the animu thread, def had two or three tracks I listened to quite a bit.

arkarian

red chamber dream

yeah i'm sure i did

the track i linked is my favorite, but they're all pretty damn good

I like turtles.

This is one of the longest tracks I've seen in a while, but it doesn't loop and stays interesting all the way through. It helps that it's just a really nice tune with nice chord progressions.
