Wow. Finished this one rather quick compared to others. Here you go:

Also, if you use earphones, you need both. I used the pan feature. Two guitars, one on either side.

Some of these bring to mind Duke Nukem 2.

How about...
The mental turmoil of someone who has just gone insane? Sounds tricky.

It's a bit... hmmm, I think the best word would be deliberate. The impression I get is not of a seagull, but of a titanic prehistoric thing advancing across the skyline, and heading my way.

Greatness! :D

I love midis.

Okay, try this one:

Video game boss battle in a dark and scary cave.
Not fast-paced, nice and slow.
Epic battle with the closest thing to an ominous latin chorus as you can get.
If it helps, the boss is some giant physical manifestation of darkness.

Someone mentioned the MOD format?

Psycle can render into wav or XM, and XM is just MOD with support for more tracks.


Except Psycle works alot like a spreadsheet, with an optional flowchart if you aren't just using samples and saving as XM.

There is also MuseScore, that may be able to import your music and render it with a soundfont, possibly to a wav or other constant format. The soundfont used is selectable.

Hm, I'd like you to do something as well.

A voyage. The warrior maiden travels into unknown territory in her quest for... her past. Yes, that sounds good. Now she faces the final gatekeeper... her father, the man who knows, the man who has to test her... because what lurks behind the gate was sealed for a dang good reason. Epic climatic battle ensues. The girl wins, of course, and her father lets her pass, being proud of her...

Now do all of this, IN SPACE. With spaceships, of course.
Instrument limitations: Piano and E-Organ need to be having significant roles. The latter should only be used in battle. Choir and E-Guitar are to be used sparsingly. Not too tranquil, not too many strings, make it sound electronic overall, it should be fast-paced most of the time. Focus on the battle with an 0:30 to 1:00 voyage intro depending on actual length. Although it should start with some action right away, multiple tracks, not stuff like the instruments gradually going in.

Phew... that's a shitload of limits :/ Sorry 'bout that.

Righto, doing them now.

@ein:
Define 'Latin Chorus'?

@Hawkfrost:
Everybody likes crazy people. Except.. you know, the people they hurt.

@Errol:
Holy crap dude. Yeah. I'll have a shot. Hey, it wasnt as specific as Armok's was.

It's like ominous latin chanting, but with less chant and more melodic sounds.
It's hard to explain, and I can't think of any examples right now.

I have reiterate how much I enjoyed your rendition of the DF game music. If you'd like, and if you can, consider it a request that you finish it completely; personally, I'd rather have it looping while I play. It's... cleaner. The original music has some annoying background noise, in particular a sort of fuzziness.

Also your new musics are neat; ya don't see many people working with midi's these days. *More wistful sighing*
