[QUOTE=Zillamatic;40777633]I'm trying to get into my dream job as a composer for video games (and other projects), so I put together this demo reel trying to show the different styles and moods I can write. [media]http://soundcloud.com/mkeenan/2013-music-reel-1[/media] I've put together a website and started talking to people about working on their games. I'm super excited :dance:[/QUOTE] this is awesome! i really like your detuned sounds, they sound great. good luck with your job!

Some terrible original music by me, maybe some input? maybe not, thought i'd put it some places see how people like it [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhopkPX9Prg[/media]

Here is a preview of my third piece for Portal Repercussion. Its called factory, I wonder why, ha ha. Factory - [media]http://soundcloud.com/russiangodfather/factory-preview[/media]

Factory - [media]http://soundcloud.com/russiangodfather/factory-preview[/media][/QUOTE] I really like the preview overall, but this piano part @ 0:27 seems a bit awkward for such a dynamic song. It feels like a sampled piano chord chopped and played in sequence, which again, feels strange due to the nature of the piece. Still, this is a fantastic piece so far and I'm extremely impressed as always! Your work is truly inspirational.

And thanks for the kind words.

Was experimenting a little bit [media]http://soundcloud.com/infinigon/aliveexp[/media]

[QUOTE=Electroholic;40795656]Was experimenting a little bit [media]http://soundcloud.com/infinigon/aliveexp[/media][/QUOTE] Not a fan of the continuous echo to be honest. Needs to fade out somewhere.

[QUOTE=The freeman;40796494]Not a fan of the continuous echo to be honest. Needs to fade out somewhere.[/QUOTE] Hmm.. I removed the echo from the 4th beat of the bar, and the echo also fades out when the vocals fade out, and lowered the volume of it a bit. Maybe that helps a bit? I'll need to add something else in there to make it sound a bit fuller after the echo fades out. Also, includes the intro that I'm working on: [media]http://soundcloud.com/infinigon/aliveexp2[/media]

[media]http://soundcloud.com/mrproudfoot/free-radical[/media] weird drum stutters and boc synthies galore

[media][URL="https://soundcloud.com/azlar/killer-birds"]http://soundcloud.com/azlar/killer-birds[/URL][/media] The project file is lost, so I can't make improvements or do anything with it.

I continued this bizarre song I made a month or two ago. [media]http://soundcloud.com/wauterboi/devoid-5-27-13[/media] Will follow up this post with C&C - un momento.

There's nothing about it I think is wrong - it all works. I need to make a video game and use music from Facepunch.

Alright, I released it. [media]http://soundcloud.com/gustavn/gustav-n-haumea[/media]

Looking to flesh this out a little more later. [media]http://soundcloud.com/spicamera/demo-19[/media]

[QUOTE=Butt Factory;40805231]Looking to flesh this out a little more later. [media]http://soundcloud.com/spicamera/demo-19[/media][/QUOTE] Hearing the stock FL Guitar somehow ruins it for me :( Although I think it would probably sound good with another guitar sound.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/croixx/destinys-child-say-my-name-ne[/media] I'll come back to give feedback later but here's some random destiny's child remix I threw together by semi mistake in like an hour. would love some opinions.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/spicamera/demo-19[/media][/QUOTE] the drums are extremely loud and irritating, not to mention pretty badly sequenced. the synth at the start is really headache inducing, i don't know what the hell is up with those horns/strings that jitter in and out.

[editline]27th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Zethereal;40794771][media]http://soundcloud.com/xenoyia/luk[/media] i really need to stop making all-piano song thingies[/QUOTE] some of the melodies feel like you just started placing notes around on a piano roll, don't feel much direction, just sort of panders about.

Changed some instruments, and took out the kick leading to the drop so the drop seems a bit bigger now. Also the drop sounds quite different now [media]http://soundcloud.com/infinigon/aliveexp3[/media] [editline].[/editline] I feel like the drop changes too much from the main chord progression so it's hard to anticipate the "melody" so it's hard to naturally follow along. I've changed it a bit on my computer but I would like to see what you guys think.

Do you guys think it'd be a good idea to get a plug.dj going sometime? You can hook in your soundcloud tracks and that way more people will hear them and be able to throw feedback at it rather than just posting it in a sea of links

[QUOTE=ItsGary;40809515][media]http://soundcloud.com/itsjustspacy/clouds[/media] Chillish song I've been working on, too exhausted from it to finish/touch it up though.[/QUOTE] That's really nice intro/buildup, it's almost perfect. This song would sound better without the "drop" (entirely without percussion), as some kind of an "ambient" song.

[media]http://soundcloud.com/teicherus/lost-in-music[/media] This was my first time making house-ish music. I've been watching some vids about sampling on youtube lately and I wanted to try it myself. It's a little bit on the short side, maybe I'll work on it some more tomorrow. Also, why did soundcloud turn down the volume so much? [B]Edit: [/B]Longer version: [media]http://soundcloud.com/teicherus/lost-in-music-v2[/media]

Okay so I basically have no idea where to ask this, but I'm trying to play the intro of Blowing Free, of Wishbone Ash on the guitar, and I've basically done the part up to 0:28 in this video, but, I can't seem out to figure the chords that are played at 0:29, can anybody help me with this?
