Hey guys, this is a piece I wrote probably about 6 months to a year ago. If any of you have played kingdom hearts, its kind of like a theme for one of the random worlds in the game. Anyways let me…Continue

Unfortunately if you listen to my Soundcloud songs the decline in sound and composition quality as you go further back in time will be very evident. I plan to redo Gleam of Light and No Sanctuary when I get a computer in the next month or so that can actually handle these amazing samples I have (LASS, Drums of War 2, Tonehammer Emotional Piano, etc). For Age of Aggression, I actually can't play the song without hardcore CPU overload so I had to basically make two halves of the instruments and put them together, export, and listen (painstaking process). I also listened to your Mysterious World Theme and it reminds me of the music in a game called Tales of Symphonia, which has one of the best game soundtracks out there as far as I'm concerned.

They're much easier to write for me than orchestral things but they're just as fun to do and I often come up with tunes when writing them that I wouldn't think to write in an orchestral format that could probably be used in an orchestral song.

You say you sought out this forum in order to meet other composers you can learn from. That's pretty much the same reason I joined so maybe we can chat on Skype sometime and analyze each others' songs or discuss ways to go about writing. Let me know if you're interested!
