The 21 Day Composition Challenge - October 2018

VGM Academy 21 Days Challenge - All Songs from Day 2

Sleep

First day of the 21 days of VGM challenge!

Playing around with some strings on this one.

After The Battle (strings)

woke up at 4 am so i thought I would make some moody ambience

arrival

A short beach track loop. Because who doesn't love marimba ? :)

[VGM CHALLENGE DAY 2] Beach Haven

Quick piece for a player getting a major upgrade. I had a cutesy retro platformer feel in mind for this.

Day 2 - Power Up

Short JRPG-style sketch for piano, flute and violin

JRPG Trinity

Second day of the 21 days of VGM challenge!

The goal is to write 2-4 bars of music a day minimum to get in the habit of idea generation and not worry about the finish and polish of full tracks.

Day 2 - Looming Crows

Day 3 - Beach Time

Some ideas for a piece in the style of snail's house. Not much time today, so a bit of an abrupt end!

Day 4 - Space Hopping

A harpsichord ditty for the "If it Ain’t Baroque" prompt

Day 5 - Baroque

Day 5 VGMA

Day 5 - Hopeful

Home late after a long gig. Wrote this quickly on my midi keyboard direct into Logic.

ii V I!

Day 5 - Zzzzzz

I'm participating in VGM Academy's #21DaysOfVGM Fall 2018 Composition Challenge! The prompts I chose today were:

"Music Box: Compose a piece for a music box, which may also be called a “lamellophone,” “linguaphone,” or “thumb piano,” in sample libraries. Most multi-voice keyboards have an onboard music-box-sounding instrument."

"Nap Time: Write a very short (less than 10 seconds) JRPG-style music cue for sleeping at an inn."

I started working on a city theme today, but it got a bit bigger than expected so I plan to keep working on it for tomorrow. So instead I put together a quick Nap-Time theme based on the Level 2 prompt! It was fun to play around with the music box sound, and keeping it under 10 seconds is a nice restriction when you're pressed for time!

Hopefully I'll have that city theme finished tomorrow!

Day 6 ~ Sleep Tight!
