Any music composers on here? Post your stuff!

great thread, I'll post some creations from my ipod later.

EDIT: l heard some random stuff, do you make them from apps?

 

He's got it in his sig. So im sayin yes.

 

currently got a few projects on the go.

As an artist I play bass in Heavy Jack - http://www.heavyjack.com - you can download our first album here for free - http://www.heavyjack.com/multiply.zip

you can hear what it sounds like @ http://www.myspace.com/heavyjack

 

I've got a bunch of stuff online, but I can't remember the direct links so I'll have to post them later. I do music both for myself and that have appeared/will be appearing in a few apps so it can be pretty varied stuff.

 

K, now that I'm home I'll post a few.

Really old stuff:
Better Days
Lucid Dreaming Part II
Some of my early stuff, both written in 1994. 4-track MOD converted and encoded to mono 44.1KHz, so the quality isn't great.
Trivia: Better Days was created using the same sample set used in the loader and title music for the classic Pinball Fantasies.

Less old stuff:
After I moved to the PC I moved to the XM format, which was the same as MODs only had 32 tracks and lots more capabilities. These were the result:
Noble Creature
Storm Warning
Warning: I sing in these. Not very well either.

Newer stuff:
Digital Terror (T2K2K2 Remix)
This one was a personal curiosity-satisfying project. I wanted to remix a song from the Tempest 2000 soundtrack, and this was the result. I was planning on remixing the whole album but decided against it in favour of other things. Written in 2002 using Fruity Loops, which is what I do all my stuff in now.
Fat Man
Back before the App Store some dude on iPTF said he was going to port Bungie's Marathon game to jalbroken iDevices. He wanted to know if anyone wanted to redo the music. I volunteered and wrote this by way of demonstrating my abilities. The project turned out to be a hoax and the dude disappeared from existence after it came out, but at least I did a half-decent remix, even if I did shamelessly use a few default patches/arpeggios.
Magnum
Taking the Credit
These two were written for an iPhone game project a friend and I were working on but ultimately scrapped. Magnum was to be the title music, and Taking the Credit was to be played over the credits. I still may recycle these if I do a project or work with a developer whose game calls for it.
Perestroika
One of the little ditties I did for Movile's Theme Park Madness, the Russia level.
Tweaker - Microsize Boy
Mix I did for a Tweaker remix contest. (No, I didn't win.)

I've got more lying about, but that's a few I've got online at the moment. Of course, there's also the ambient stuff I wrote for the app in my sig.

@madsoul - You've got some pretty good stuff there. You're good on the pano and have a good sense of melody, something which I often struggle with. Nice work.

 

Thanks. DM has always been a huge influence on my stuff, especially in the earlier days, though I've been influenced by all sorts of synthpop, industrial, and electronic bands from the 80s and 90s. (PSB, Art of Noise, New Order, Kraftwerk, Jean-michel Jarre, OMD, Nine Inch Nails, Front 242, Front Line Assembly, Camouflage, and tons of others to name a few.) I've gone through a variety of phases as I taught myself to compose. My earliest stuff is probably my most new agey-electronica-inspired stuff with heavy JMJ influences. DM has always been a constant though, musically; I always wanted to be able to sing like Martin Gore but have no hope in hell. I "discovered" trance in the early part of this century though and found that's really what I loved, so I moved straight into that sort of material.

Thanks again. It's not everyones cuppa tea, though I think you'll find my app a little more to your liking, being that it's very ambient with some experimental and ephemeral pieces. I'd never really written totally ambient electronica before, and that's my first serious stab at it -- and I love doing it. I'm infatuated with lush instrumentals for that total chillout experience; I love going through instrument patches and playing with thick strings and pads and playing melodic chords -- I get lost in it even when what I'm looking for in the piece I'm currently working on is anything but ambient. It's a bad habit too because I end up getting so sidetracked playing with the sounds I don't get any actual work done on the thing I'm supposed to be working on.

It's all good creative practice though and sometimes I end up coming up with some nice ideas to work on later.

 

A few more, just for the hell of it.

Through the Wormhole
Down to Earth
A couple from Galactic Chill. Note that these are in their original raw format and therefore end abruptly. They were designed to be looped for the app, so they aren't technically complete songs.

Illuminations
One of my most recent, for a project I'm working on. Maybe; I haven't decided if it fits. Start off very ambient in the style of my other ambient stuff, but moves into a heavier second movement. I'll probably be including a shortened version of this (just the first half without the bassline) in a GC update at some point, as soon as I have a second track to add. (Can't update with just one track. Need at least two for a decent content update.)

 

JMJ is genius when it comes to electronic music. Broad, far-reaching influences in wholly disparate genres and cultures that he manages to incorporate into his sound in a way that still manges to be uniquely and identifiably his. Zoolook is the perfect example of that -- worldly sounds woven together his way, and you just know it's him when you hear it, even if you know his stuff but never heard that album before.

He did play the Oxygene card a little too death though when he released Oxygene 7-13, but he's redeemed himself since with more recent stuff, and he's gotten a heavy danceable vibe lately since Teo & Tea.

That was my problem. I was always playing with those lush pads and stuff, experimenting and playing around, but I was always too preoccupied with whatever else I was working on that wasn't ambient to actually sit down and write something ambient. Galactic Chill was my opportunity to do just that, and I'm glad I did. It's broadened my musical horizons a lot and I've been using that lately.

Definitely give it a go, even just to experiment and see where it takes you. It's great to sit down and start with something basic and let it grow organically. It's almost therapeutic, and very entrancing.
