Something I love doing is composing solo Piano pieces. It's always been a pastime of mine ever since around 12 when I started teaching myself Piano. Often times, once every 2 days or so (or whenever I'm inspired), I'll just sit down at my Piano and play with melodies. Before I know it hours have passed and I've come up with a new piece. This thread is for those occasions.
I have a plethora of pieces already composed and posted on Newgrounds.com. Not sure if it's the best place for this sort of music but I like the rating system. If you want to check any of the music just click on on my username [b][url=http://negativenine.newgrounds.com/audio/]NegativeNINE[/url][/b] and there is an expansive list of all tracks I've made. The one's titled Piano are the solo piano ones.
Here's a list of the ones I want to post here because I think they're the best.

[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/336252][B]Piano 59 - Waves of Triumph[/B][/url][/u]
One of my latest pieces, alot of work in changing key is done here to bring a little progression to the piece.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/335586][B]Piano 32 - The Whirling Rain[/B][/url][/u]
Uploaded this one some time in May, can't believe I forgot to add it to the list it is a favourite of mine. I was rather pleased when someone likened it to Final Fantasy.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/339725][B]Piano 05 - Lover's Dilemma[/B][/url][/u]
Really pleased with the way this turned out. It's much more like an actual 'song' than my other uploads as it has things like bridges and breaks. Also the dischord notes I came up with had me stumble across the basic structure of the Soul Calibur 4 theme! :D
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/338014][B]Piano 21 - To Frolic[/B][/url][/u]
Felt like doing something to a 3/4 timescale. I couldn't think of a name for this either as the top melody is quite playful but the bass is dark. If anyone has a name suggestion I'd be more than happy to hear it.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/327438][B]Piano 36 - End of an Era[/B][/url][/u]
In my opinion this is one of the most basic melodies I've come up with. It's a very archetypal of this type of music. Because of that alot of people like it. It's one of those pieces a musician will have in the back of his mind to play at parties and stuff to impress people haha.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/338680][B]Piano 21 - The Lost[/B][/url][/u]
Feeling pretty melancholy atm, this piece gives me an image of those lost to society. Banding together to exist without the help of civilisation. There's a sense of disparity in the melody I feel.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/337673][B]Piano 44 - Whovian[/B][/url][/u]
I tried learning the notes to the Dr Who theme (for those not in the UK, it's quite a famous show over here) and ended up producing this. Quite happy with the way it turned out, also the natural break that comes from the Dr. Who theme itself (the 2 bar "bridge" between each verse that otherwise doesn't fit into the 4 bar structure) is quite a nice break to separate the different parts of the song.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/316472][B]Piano 71 - Winds of Winter[/B][/url][/u]
A very short loop, much shorter than the rest, but still a favourite of mine.
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/216634][B]Piano 68 - The Realisation[/B][/url][/u]
Posting this because it got such a good response last time, even though I'm no longer particularly fond of it. It's the first piece I ever uploaded to Newgrounds and one of the highest ranking too (with 94 votes and a solid 4.16).
[u][url=http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/333004][B]Piano 76 - Heartbreak Warfare[/B][/url][/u]
Even though this one has drums I still want to post it. Was my first and only attempt at something someone could rap to (t'was a request from a friend) and I was quite happy with the result.

I'll be updating this thread as and when I upload new music. Please, if anything, enjoy :)
Nice stuff you got there. One thing that bothers me is that I can hear clipping on some of the songs. Keep up the good work anyways.

Good job. They sound nice. I don't have any complaints.
