Title: Urban Twilight
Post by: Q.K. on January 04, 2009, 05:46:01 am: Hmm I wrote another piece today. Not sure what I think about this. Anyways it's set kind of around late afternoon, and as the piece goes on it gets darker, etc. At least that's the idea I built the song around.

After the introduction the song gets too repetitive, and lacks a melody. It lacks a climax too.

If I were you, I would recompose it from somewhere in the introduction, and change the instruments.

I never actually noticed the lack of a melody while writing. Um. >__> I guess it's missing a lot of things though. I got partway through the synth stuff then ran out of ideas/wanted to finish it before I had to sleep. I'll think about putting a melody in there but my computer is going to hate me lol. With like 512mb of ram to work with this song is... difficult to work with (basically having to render it each time to hear how everything sounds)
I'll take another look at it though.

Ouch, didn't realize your computer was that bad. It makes my 2gb of ram look good.
I didn't think the piece was too bad, it certainly was an interesting combination of instruments though :P. I actually like the fact that there's no real driving melody, it makes the piece sort of ambient and relaxing.

Post by: Q.K. on January 06, 2009, 12:38:14 am: Haha. Yeah, it is bad. I want to upgrade because it gets massive lag when I'm trying to work with audio. Anyways, what probably happened was I started off wanting to write yet another ambient piece (which explains the weird synths maybe) but then I got lazy and couldn't choose between staying ambient or introducing some harmonies :p
I will seeeee what I can do with it though..
