Another guitar piece inspired by DF
« on: January 15, 2009, 02:46:23 pm »

Hi all, and thank you all for your response on my first little composition :)
This one is a bit more musically ambitious and less like Toady's in-game music, but I hope you nonetheless will listen to it and perhaps offer your thoughts on it.

It is a work in progress, composed and recorded today by myself and a fellow guitarist. I hope you will enjoy it!

Here is the link: http://www.reverbnation.com/divguitarmusik

And it's the last one on the list called 'Down Below'.

Thank you :)

I like it, but the sound seems to waver a lot. It's like there are a bunch of volume changes that weren't intended. It does sort of have that "Planning out a fortress" sound to it. I could see designating mining, placing furniture and whatnot to it.

This is pretty good, it can be modified a bit to be played in a loop for fortress mode, which would be nice, as sooner or later the music gets old, and there isn't much else to listen to.

i always kind of thought the community would put together its own composed DF soundtrack sooner or later in the same vein as Toady's original composition.

this is really nice, i hope you continue your efforts bro.

Pretty sweet

It feels a little Sim City-ish, but that's not a bad thing at all

As nice as all your compositions are (and they are really sweet) isnt one thread enought? Its like Masterpiece spam if you make an own thread for every new song.

Your musical ambition payed off. I like this one a lot more than your previous song.

It certainly does have that peace time fort building sound. And then about a minute and fifty in, it sounds like a totally different song. Still fort-building music, but a lot tenser. Maybe a smoother transition between the two?

On the whole, though, good job. With this, I now really look forward to anything else you make.

I like this one a lot more than the other one, and it'd be neat if we had a whole bunch of music to play end to end (possibly shuffling) instead of the same song over and over. maybe have a code to have certain songs play when under siege, tradeing, etc.
