A piece of music... made by yours truly

[stefanhendriks]

I play piano. I have a digital piano with nice strings and i know some chords to make it feel dunish. I made a tune, it was all 'live' recorded. So not midi-converted , and also not using any music maker. Everything is pure played. What i played is what you hear.

Its a heavy download, mp3 format. Good quality. The tune represents 'peace'. Meaning, its a peaceful (building) theme in a game. Perhaps i will use it for my game, or perhaps not. I'd like to hear comments ;)

its ~6.5 MB btw.. don't be scared ;)

Wow,

Thats really good Stefan. Every note is unexpected, yet fits perfectly.

I've heard your 'Stairway to void' music, which was good. I'll comment on this one when my connection deigns to get a move on.

thanks :) As i said, its not super quality. But hey, i am not a music guy either. Its ofcourse not comparible with D2k ;)

Sounds good, and sounds Dunish too. But it think it sounds too neutral, even for a peace song. Maybe add a litte more variation to the song?

A perfect example of how looking at "Who's Online?" can lead to good things. :)

Just downloaded this song on a whim after seeing someone looking at it on the "Who's Online?" page.  I have to say that it's very good, and is indeed very Dune-ish.  I have it set on repeat right now. :P

I like this kind of music... the kind of violin / echo melody type that makes you think of huge open spaces. :) I can usually only find them in dance music, which tends to be too full of drums and hi-hats for my taste; but this is a welcome change to all that, and makes me think of rolling expanses of sand and dunes.

Very good job, Stefan. :)

Very good, Dunish as well. Very calming and well made.

UPDATE: 6 hours later, and I'm still listening to it. :D

UPDATE 2: OK, it's midnight on the 11th of August and it's still on continuous repeat.  I'm either insane, or you should be taking this to a record company. :D

Ten years later, I'm still listening to this tune.

 

Not continuously, you understand.  You should put this up on YouTube, since it remains a damn fine piece of music, just as this was a damn fine act of thread necromancy.

 

Man, it's been a while since I've been here.

Pssh. That's just one AUD conversion away :P

Oh wow I never thought people would still listen to that piece of music. I almost forgot about it. Awesome!
