Emerates' MIDI Shoppe

[Emerates]

Here are a bunch of MIDI ideas I've had.  Most of them will probably never go anywhere, but whatever.  Tell me what you think, por favor.  Keep in mind, none of them are finished, so yeh.

^A couple of sad things I wrote on my guitar

http://www.freewebs.com/emerates/Behinhd%20The%20Waterfall.mid

Thing that sounds kind of like a waterfall theme to me.

Random thing written with the Dm chord.

A couple different instrumental versions of A7X's M.I.A.

BTW, if the links don't work, tell me and I'll add the files as an attachment later.

They're not bad. A couple of things though. They need more variety and less repeatitive melodies. Add some harmony in their or simply a deeper variety of instruments. Some bass maybe, too. All in all, it's up to you, but I really don't think they're bad for starters.

[Emerates]

Thanks for the... post.

Like I said, these are all unfinished things.  Mainly, they're arpeggios just sequenced to set the mood and to help me with the keys and stuff.  Hopefully, I'll expand on some of them, but others probably won't go anywhere further.

If you want to make them a midi, you should probally use more than one intrument.

BTW, Behind The Waterfall = fav.

[Desimodontidae]

Heh, pentatonics...

Not bad, but could use a lot more substance.

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not..... I can never tell .  But thanks for giving me feedback.

I'll try and expand on a few of these later, with the whole 'harmony' thing.  Right now, though, these are pretty much just demo versions and random ideas.

^ Some things supposed to be parts of the same song.  I'll eventually tie them together later.

v Rock battle thing I just came up with last week.  It's still just at the first part, so yeh.

^ Two things I'll eventually throw together.  They're supposed to sound like an end credits/intro thing, but are as of yet unfinished.  The sudden change at the end is supposed to be the beginning of a transition into a different rhythm on the first one.

Tell me what you think, please.

[Meiscool-2]

I thought they would be more one intrument songs, but you used another towards the end. Those were the best parts:p

You've got the melodies down, now you just need more intruments. With only the few you've got, it sounds very repeatitive.

[Emerates]

Thanks.

These are just sample tracks.  'Finality' is the song I'm trying to work on most right now.  Those two are just guide things that I'll combine to (hopefully) complete the whole song.  I'm kinda aiming to finish it within the next couple of weeks, as well as working on some other pre-existing stuff and writing new riffs and/or what-not.

[drenrin2120]

Just don't give up and always look to improve and you'll do just fine.

[Emerates]

Been awhile since I posted anything, but here goes.

This was just a random thing I random thing I was playing on my guitar when I decided to put it into MIDI format.  Then I expanded on it with the glockenspiel and the lower stuff.

Comment, please!

[Boba_Fettuccini]

I like your midis. They'r ejust like the stuff I like to make/listen to. I've always favored minor keys, and sad music...

the 'Quiet Curse' instilled me with a need to sob for no good reason. Good job

Also, if you dont mind, amy i toy with the 'Celesta thing i made when I was supposed to be doing dishes'? And if you will allow me to, use it? dont worry, you'll get credit...

EDIT: COuldn't wait for an answer, so I edited it anyway.

(you have to copy and paste it =/ )

[Emerates]

Thanks Boba.  If you want to use it, go for it, as long as you give credits and what-not.  Your edit of it was kinda strange, though.  The part you put in didn't seem to go with it as well as other things could.

Well, here's an update of that battle MIDI from a couple of posts back.

[Boba_Fettuccini]

Hmm, you said the same thing most adults I know said :p

I seem to have some sort of affinity of making unusual midis.
