RO Music REview: Elemental Zone

 

Title: Elemental Zone

Released: April 5, 2008

Genre: Electronic Music 

Loopy as it is, (get it? heh.) this song certainly has quite a strong intro, and solid melody.

But if it weren't for the pre-genned loops at my aid, it likely would have sounded half as good. 

Would vocals have added? I feel with this genre it can go either way.

At least this song doesn't feel like it's VGM only. But it's got room to improve. 

The release time was due to an inspiration blitz that came with the music making program. I can only reminiscence on that feeling...

RO Music REview: Ric's Exhibition

 

Title: Ric's Exhibition

Released: April 5, 2008

Genre: Electronic Music 

In this case, realizing the limit of loops, I tried to break the mold and do something different. That said, I still and only knew how to loops. So enter this: A song made without the systematic building-up that was all previous songs.

It's a bit chaotic, albeit it's certainly interesting. The lack of lyrics in this one makes sense, because the diverse noise definitely holds the attention. It'd likely end up a track 8 or 9 on an actual album, but it sure is music of some sort. Room for improvement? Always. But this was a good direction.

RO Music REview: Crystone Caverns

 

Title: Crystone Caverns

Released: April 4, 2008

Genre: Electronic Video Game Music 

Ever the ambitious one, I was thinking about making games of my own when composing this. Based on how my tunes were coming out, I was on the right track. It certainly invokes a feeling of some sort, and does keep changing enough that in the background of a space or fantasy-esque game level, it would fit nicely.

Outside of a video game though, it's not the sort of thing someone would be putting on their playlist.

At one point the game that was planned for it was the infamous project ADOH. This song is a good reminder that I need to learn to code.
