Hi all, I've been viewing the forums for a while and wanted to share a little music something I made on the guitar with the community.
It's called 'Approaching the pits' and is a bit sinister.

Anyway I hope you will listen to it and maybe share some of your own music inspired by DF

And it's the song called 'Approaching the pits'. Thank you.

edit: oh and all feedback is greatly appreciated, negative and positive

[Skyrage]

Well, to be honest I didn't like the first minute of the song. Afterwards however it became much better and something that could be very well related to DF.

[Warlord255]

Tempted to agree with Skyrage; it does have a nice note structure, but it isn't immediately predictable. It does have that menacing quality at times. Overall, solid!

[Ampersand]

I rather like it. It reminds me vaguely of Toady's music work in Dwarf Fortress, but also of background music in some other strategy or adventure games.

[Tahin]

Sounds pretty good. It might be better if you cut out the first minute, but it's pretty awesome either way. Make some more!

[GoreTaco]

Very good! I liked it all the way through.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, it reminds me a lot of the original Diablo music. Very cool.

[Tormy]

Very good! I liked it all the way through.

Same here, I liked the whole song. Good job Hallemkz! 

[Jim Groovester]

Ehh, it sounded the same to me the whole way through. In my totally inexpert opinion, the feelings the song conjures up don't match my expectations of what a song about breaching the seals to an ancient evil should sound like.

More menace! More tension! More build up to a climactic end!

Keep at it, though. I'm interested if you make more of these songs.

[Zai]

I'm not really a fan of the part from about 0:44 to 0:48, but the rest I loved!

Great job overall! =D

[Karlito]

I'm with Jim Groovester.  It was an excellent piece for setting an eerie mood, which may have been what you were going for, but in my mind, demon pits need a little more oomph.

[Silleh Boy]

I like it, though it strikes me more as being something suited to the early stages of starting in a haunted or sinister biome.

Demon pits, i'd picture more as being a slow, sparse and suspenseful build up until the piercing and uncovering of the demons, then a faster and more active part to convey the horror of it. Not that i could hope to even come close to doing something like that myself, given how little musical talent i have.

Still, it does feel very fitting for DF and makes me wonder how it'd feel alongside the game, in place of the usual loop.

[Maggarg - Eater of chicke]

I like it :3 .
It doesn't seem quite hardcore enough to fit breaking into a pit full of demons, but it sounds pretty damn good.

[evktalo]

I like it all the way through. I think the three-note melody/figure in the beginning could be elaborated/developed a bit more to liven up the intro a little. It's a bit too stilted now, although mostly that's great for the mood of the song.

Thank you all for taking your time listening to the music and for your honest replies
I agree with you on it being not sinister or menacing enough to describe the dorfs breaking into unfathomable evil, demons etc. I'll try to improve !
And I'm very happy that you ask for more..I'll have some up tomorrow.
thanks
