It occurred to me recently that even though I talk a lot about the music I'm writing, almost none of you have ever heard any of it. This is mostly because I'm kind of a control freak about it, so I really want to do everything myself. And with my lousy attention span, that takes time. I don't have the means or knowledge to make a decent recording, but I do have some MIDI files. So if you want to hear what my music would sound like if it were played by shitty computers, today's your lucky day!
Here's a playlist of four songs I wrote. I'll also give individual links and a brief description of each.
1. Triggered
This is the one that sounds the most like a normal song. I'll probably need to add vocals or more guitar melodies on top of this once the time finally comes to record this one. Please listen to the whole thing, the ending is my favorite part.
2. Relapse
This one actually isn't finished. My original plan was to post three songs once I finished this one, but I got some pretty intense writer's block. Still, I had enough for you to get an idea of what this song is like.
3. Reviver
The most aggressive song I have finished so far. It sounds pretty spastic and all over the place, especially if you're not used to that sort of music. It seems more like a medley than anything with an actual structure, but it's actually sort of a palindrome. Sort of.
4. Saudade
An actual recording! This is a pseudo-classical guitar piece that I wrote last year. It's a pretty awful recording, because the only mic I have is the one on my laptop. It's been a couple of years since I actually practiced classical stuff, so I could definitely clean this up a lot more, but you get the gist of it.
My one request from all of you that listen to these is to please, please, please tell me what you think of them. Even if you think I suck. As long as you can give me reasons. Your opinions are very important to me, and I want to be able to make my music better.
