music's Options

[Fat Panda]

hola forums

Im a freelance composer, and I like to write for fun and for small projects. My stuff isnt that good, but I thought I would share it with you. I've been writing for a long time and currently am in my last year of music, about to head into my pre-PHD stuff for marimba performance.

anyways, I hope you guys enjoy.

To those of you who would not listen to the above music because the member is new to RRR, think again.

I always give music a chance, and I'm almost always glad that I do.
Fat Panda's music is quite good, and he shows a lot of talent.

Fat Panda, I fell in love with Battery Powered at about half-way through the song. Nice job!
Tide of Life was also good, it needs to be a bit longer though - even if it could be used as a looping soundtrack. XD
I was expecting something different from Sarsaparilla, but I wasn't disappointed with what I heard. =]

Couldn't get Washed Ashore or Reilick's Dance to load properly (WMA doesn't like me very much apparently), if you could re-upload them as MP3 files that would be amazing. =]


Post more! =D

[Fat Panda]

Wow, fast response! Thanks alot dude, I appreciate your feedback! Sorry about the WMA; its pretty lame sometimes, so yeah I will re-upload. I have a bunch of music but ill progressively put it up. I am glad you like what you hear so far.

Once again, thanks for taking the time to listen! It means alot.

The first post has been edited with the wma's as mp3

My pleasure.

I'm able to listen to them now! =D

Comments:
Washed Ashore is peaceful and progressively increases at points through the song, which gives it a good feeling and matches the name. It also makes use of bells in the music and waves in the background, both apply well to the theme and aren't annoyingly overdone at all - so in other words it's brilliant! =]

Reilick's Dance is actually dance-battle-like, which is great (start a battle with the text "let's dance" and you get the idea). It's also reminiscent of an Ice Bowser Castle, or something. Overall, very nice and catchy. Loved this one a lot! =D

[Fat Panda]

Thanks man! Ill post more tonight!

Anyone else would like to listen, I would appreciate it.

[Fat Panda]

More music! Here are some chiptunes I have created

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/finale2.mp3

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/serious1.mp3

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/stage12.mp3

[X-M-O]

Yay! More music! =D

Comments:
Dark Theme is pretty average, but meets what I expected. Sounds as if it could be used in an old castle in a game or something.
Finale fits as a battle theme for a boss, pretty good - reminded me of MegaMan for some reason. =]
Serious works as background music to a serious conversational plot in a story; not bad.
Stage 12 is my favourite of these last few songs. Good tune, love it. =]

[Fat Panda]

Thanks alot! I forgot one more, http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/serus2.mp3

I appreciate all the comments!

[X-M-O]

Oh cool, another one. XD

I may have to change my favourite again - I really like this one, but it needs to be longer! D=
Serus is awesome! >:]

Really nice collection you've got going here, Tide of Life is really cool. Yeah I love Battery Powered aswel, not 100% keen on the starting bit but once the beat kicks in it's great.

Reilick's Dance is good but personally at times sounds like there's a bit too much treble (Think that's the best term to describe what I mean)

Your chip tunes are nice, I've not long been a listener to that genre but from those tracks there I may give them another go

[Fat Panda]

I agree about the treble, it might be overpowering the bass. I appreciate all of your comments though! It means alot.

[Fat Panda]

Sorry to spam my music so much, here are three more pieces Ive made in the past!

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/Gargantuan%20March.mp3

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/Originality.mp3

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/Past%20the%20De...%20Insanity.mp3

[X-M-O]

It seems that the more attention you get, the more music you give. That's the point though, eh? =D


Comments:
Gargantuan March is very fast-paced. Sounds good as soon as the piano solo starts and then stays good after that. =]
Originality is curiously named, and I'm not sure if it is 100% accurate but... I love this one! >=D
(Yeah, it does kind of remind me of something else that I've heard in the distant past, but it's original enough I suppose, lol.)
Past the Depths of Insanity sounds like the climax or battle theme for a climactic/epic battle of some sort. D=
I like. ^^

[Adriantepes]

I like most of your music, I'm gonna say...

It seems like everyone who posts here does video game tracks, and that's it though :\. Not that video game music is bad, just alot of people do. Still, I really like some of your pieces, like finale2. The one thing that frustrates about some of your music is the lack of bass end though I mean, I understand sometimes, but some of your songs sound like they don't even have bass at all.

[Fat Panda]

I write tons of music outside of VG themes, ill see if I can post some this week! I just didnt know if that was what people wanted to hear

As far as the bass goes, you are completely right! I tend to be treble heavy on my pieces. I guess I should fix that, eh? But thank you for pointing that out; I always tend to forget that. Thanks for liking my music, though!

[Adriantepes]

Not really fix, your music still sounds great, even if a tad treble y haha

Also, I definitely want to hear some of your other stuff

[Fat Panda]

Ask and ye shall recieve!

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/Ghost%20Anthem.mp3 <--- originally an original song for my demo CD, but I never found a singer to sing for it :<

it lags a bit in some parts, but its cause my mixer was sucking ass lol.

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/Almond%20Eyes.mp3 <---- another original song without lyrics for my demo :< I think it would sound lovely with a voice, but oh well.

Hope you enjoy!

[Adriantepes]

The first tune was a bit crazy, but strangely catchy xD

The second one has crazy potential though O.O Like, woah. I could see this with some upbeat drum sounds, maybe a nice higher edged guy singer, I could see this as a nice little pop song. Or like, with a little bit of work, it could even be written a part for a full chorus <3 I like it very much.

[Fat Panda]

Wow, Thanks man! I appreciate you kind words! I'll be sure to check out your stuff too (I see youre a musician)

I just finished this, I was playing Mega Man X 4 and I got a tad inspired. Its not that good, but Its a small little boss theme I came up with from a random melody in my head

http://bb.ohsk.net/uploads/bossheh.mp3

Enjoy!

Your stuff is pretty good man. I really like the Tide of Life. I wasn't expected the epic part to come in around the 00:24 sec mark or so. The instrument arrangement in all of your pieces are very good. I think us musicians who has posted recent topics displaying our work should get together and create a few epic compositions. Just a thought.
