Well, I want to show everybody here my music, but...

I hope you like it. Be honest as to what you think when it's finished; if it's good, it's good, bad it's bad.

Thanks.

What'd you think of the boss battle theme?

A Lullaby - Great overall. High octaves at the end is a little too much imo though.
A Dungeon Theme - Dungeon reminding of Zelda'ish theme
A Death Theme - I dig this one. Seems to be another version of Lullaby
The Main Theme - I guess you like softer type of main theme. I personally favour brass and drums along with full set of orchestral harmony. But for softer type of 'medieval' type theme, this is excellent
The Cave Theme - Matches the desired theme very nicely. Seems to be non-hostile crystal cave in terms of RPG.
My Boss Battle Theme - Opening part is great. However the tension build up is a little weak imo.

I presume you like to steer away from brass and drums?

Thank you. Yes, the crystal type sound is what I wanted, and the Main Theme is my longest running work.

The Boss Battle build-up theme is hard to get; still working on it. Also, yes, I'm mainly a piano player, and have very little percussive experience, so I'm not sure what to do, lol.

Thanks for the in-depth response though.

I think I'm pretty alright considering I have no training in composition.

Lol, yes, you are, 3 more posts and you're there.

Also, video is now coming down. Thanks for watching and the input.

If you are this good, I think you should try to get a higher education in music, no matter the discouragements you are feeling. Thats my two cents.

Ja. Seriously

Alright. Thanks

I was debating between being a teacher and a composer. The competition just worries me.

There are many paths. Have you considered working in studios as sound engineer?

I haven't really considered anything, lol. After I failed out of college, I've kinda just been trying to find a job and moping; I just started composing last year November, and composed until about March, then stopped to take a break, then made an Item Acquisition Theme (not up yet, gotta get that protected), then redid my Boss Battle theme, and that's it.

There are whole bunch of types of Engineering. Some of them can be done by idiots, others require talent/skill

What is a sound engineer?

I'm feeling a little lazy, so I'll let you read it through.

That'd be kinda neat, I wish I could do the composing though.

It is just an alternate path. You can compose at any time.

I actually have night-vision monocular. It's only Gen. I though.

Yeah, I think I would still like that. I like the idea of that and teaching.

If you become a teacher, make sure you do not ragequit on those fellows.

Welll, I used to teach special education 3 hours a day in school; taught me more patience, doesn't show anymore because it's been a year, lol. I actually was really good with them.

Thats good then. Hopefully you can exercise your patience more often. As I have said it many times before, you do a lot better when your head is cool.

Yeah; certain things just set me off though. It's mostly two things:

1.) Guilt/Embarrassment
2.) Picturing the smug little face of the faggot who killed me.

Those are my top 2 BC2 rage face moments.

My only rage face is apparent when I observe someone whoring UAV alt fire and notice everyone in his squad is sitting at attacker spawn guarding him, instead of making an offensive.

Other times are mostly near rage.

Somebody actually T-Bagged when they killed me with a mortar strike once today. I didn't even get mad; I actually laughed and shook my head, because if they think that it was T-Bag worthy, they must be really, really bad.

And i really hate T baggers who didnt actually do something T bag worthy

I just do not approve T bag in general, since it was shunned upon as a sign of non-professional during my competition days. Though, these guys are not pro anyway, so... Ja...

I always just thought of it as childish. I used to do it all the time when I first got LIVE, because the group I played Halo with at the computer store ALWAYS did whether it was T-Bag worthy or not, and we would all laugh (I wish I got to play with them more than 3-4 times, only had an event once every year or so). But I stopped when I realized how much it angered people.

Hooray for sound engineering! That's what I'm studying...

You heard wrong.

When I own my own place, I will become that anyway.

Please send it to me.

Just send them then.

Do it!!!!!
