My Personal Orchestra!, Do come in :D Options

[Stern]

Hello there people!

So I thought I could make one of these threads as well to show some of the stuff I've made. The bad and the good.
Any pointers, tips or general feedback is greatly appreciated. If you just want to mock me for being bad, that's also okay

My personal favourite!

[Show/Hide] Music

Songs are sorted by date added
Reflective (Flashback)
This was meant for a sad flashback in the game, but the flashback wasn't sad enough to fit with this song : )
It's written by Jacob Sternborn

A Life Beneath (Not finished)
This one is still in progress. I'm not super happy with how the piano sounds. Mostly because I don't
like Fruity loops standard piano samples. Other than that, It's quite okay. It's written by Jacob Sternborn

A Life Beneath(Finished)
This is the finished version of the main theme of Beneath. It's written by Jacob Sternborn

A Piano-focused piece
This is a piece I quickly whipped up to try different sounds with my new Piano VSTi. The concert piano might not sound super together with the percussion, but it had to do for the moment. The song is written poorly by Jacob Sternborn

Steady March
Here's something I made after getting more used to the new piano sounds I got. Written by Jacob Sternborn

Mastering Agony
This piece was written for one of the more powerful scenes of Beneath, it might feel a bit repetetive, I don't know. What do y'all think? It's written by Jacob Sternborn

Recreation
This is after disastrous scene in Grace. Written by Jacob Sternborn

A Planned Death
I "doodled" a bit. This piece wasn't made specifically for anything :>

Waging War
I wrote this for the competition on R3. The theme was symphonic orchestra. It got 2nd place

Don't Look Back
A very upbeat march-inspired symphonic piece.

The Bells of Deceit
Morbid, Melodic and orchestral chimes ;D

A Life Beneath
The main theme of 'Beneath' remastered.

Woodlands
This one was made for RRR Exclusive resources.

A beat, bit by bit.
I found a few VSTs and dabbled around a bit, tried a few sounds, whipped this up in 10 mins-ish.

The Dwarven Forge
The Dwarves rallies to the sound of the march-like brass echoing through the great halls. It can be heard all the way to the Great Forge. The smiths bash their hammer to the rythm to keep the working spirit up.

Enchanted Meadow
It's quite short, but just as the other ones, it loops very well. Download is enabled here as well.

A Slow Day
This was meant for a forest village. But I suppose it could be used anywhere it fits really. Download is enabled.

Perspectives of Sacrifices
This is for Beneath. It's meant to portray the loss of something important for a greater cause.

Darker Recreation
This is a darker version of Recreation. It's used in the first important boss fight in Beneath

Never yield
The original title was "War" and that's the scenario it tries to paint. It still needs some work, but I can't say I feel like spending more time on it at the moment.

Obsessed
This is written for a certain scene/plot twist taking place in Chapter 4 in Redland.

Walk The Streets 4 out of 5
This was a piece by piece demonstration of how I make my compositions.[/b]

I'm sad, so I'll whistle for a bit.
For once I think it came out pretty nicely, not much more to say!

Ostinati-Classical Inspired
A piano-only piece that was made more like an experiment rather than a full song. Hence it's length.

Funk n' Death
I've grown weary of RPG-style fully orchestrated themes and I started working with other instruments. I have a few tracks similar to this one in the works. It mixes some elements of jazz/funk with more traditional sounds. It should be an insteresting listen.

The Amazing Me!
This was my submission for the RRR Music competition. Just thought I'd throw it into this post.

Killed by Curiousity
This was an attempt at making a freaky/creepy song, while keeping a very melodic feel. I intentionally avoided dissonance, with the exception of tritonus, of course! Not sure what I think about it yet, as the only sound samples I found for the voices/tools were different qualities, hopefully it's not too noticeable.

Love to hear what you guys think!

Still loving the "Walk The Streets" series, and can't wait to hear the final one. It's beautiful thus far.

Poking Around couldn't be named better. I also like to dance my fingers on the piano at times. XD

Random Orchestrated Beat is also well-named, lol. It's short and sweet though. ^^

String Beat is definitely RnB-ish, as you describe. It's interesting, and can turn out all right, but you'd have to really put some powerful strings in there (it's too smooth and quiet, as-is). =]

A Pitch for a Friend & A Doodle for a Friend are pretty cool. The former sounds like it could belong in Fire Emblem, and the latter is very short but sounds about as good as Poking Around; fun. =D

Battle Theme Idea sounds very close to something that could belong in Donkey Kong Country 2. Has a Samba-ish sound to it, but overall I think it could develop into something really good, even if you don't seem to like it as much.
