New song available!

It's a track unreleased but belongs on my album, "Energy".

Gotta love bonus tracks.

Check out my SoundClick profile at the first post of this topic
or in my signature to listen to the song.

"The Vanishing Nightmare" is a song I've been working on
for quite some time to get the mood right.

Hopefully you will all enjoy! Leave comments/feedback if you feel like it.

Your music reminds me of a more tame version of this album: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Sides

However, In Sides also makes me feel completely uncomfortable if I listen to it all in one sitting. So it's probably a good thing that it only reminds me of that album and doesn't sound like it.

Your 8-bit style sounds fairly good. It comes off to me that you are creating 8-bit music well, but there's only so much you can achieve with that. I think you need to expand on what you're doing, and make more out of this. Possibly add natural sounds and vocals or lyrics of some sort? And as far as that goes it could be some movie quote, for lyrics.

Muse though a Brit Rock band has also created music of what you could achieve.



You have some potential to make some great music, if you build of these foot-steps.


That's my two cents at least.

[Bon]

The beginning reminds me of a cutscene from a Ninja Gaiden game, and then it progresses into something else, and frankly, there just isn't an NES game I can associate with it.

It's a really unique mix. My only suggestion is that you turn down the bass a tiny smidge, as there are some areas where the instrumental is "blown." Keep up the good work, and I hope that when my creativity juice starts flowing again, I can finish up that collaboration.

Well, I actually do more than just 8-Bit Music. I also compose
and arrange Hip Hop, R&B and Jazz tracks as well.
You'll see what I'm talking about when my next
album is released later this year.

On the subject of Vocals and Lyrics, I've never been one for words
to be perfectly honest. So I am slowly collaborating with other artists
such and Bonanza here to add lyrics and vocals to my instrumentals.

I like to let the music speak for me.

Thank you for the comments though! I will continue to build on
what I have done in the past and try and step things up.

If you heard songs from when I was first starting out, and listen
to what I produce now, you'd see how much better I am at it
than when I first started.

If the song did that, then I say I accomplished when I wanted with
the song in question.

If some parts of the song seem "blown out", you might wanna get better
speakers. :P

Thank you for your comments guys! I appreciate them!

Keep checking in on my SoundClick profile as I will upload my next album,
"Abstract Theory" to it. It is a mix of Hip Hop and R&B tracks.
It will also be available as a free download.

[KumoShinagi]

Well, I've uploaded a track from my upcoming September album release,
"Abstract Theory".

The album is a collection of mellow Hip Hop/R&B tracks
with a hint of chiptunes in a couple of tracks.

The song uploaded is called "More Than Reality".

I always like comments as long as they are -constructive-.

Either way, I hope you all enjoy the song!

To listen to it, just head to my SoundClick page link in the first post.

Very chill.

I looked at the MP3 in cooledit. It's not blown out, but I think I know what Bon is talking about. Maybe? There's a kind-of blown-sounding bass voice toward the end. It's just part of that voice though, I think. Idunno, it works fine for me.

[KumoShinagi]

Thanks for the comment! I want to bring
mellowness to Hip Hop instead of malice and tension.

Cause we all need a break from those aspects from time to time.

To comment on "the Vanishing Nightmare", the bass part is weird.

You're right, it's not blown out, but that Bass part is just odd.

I'll be releasing another track sometime next month before release!
