The 21 Day Composition Challenge - October 2018

VGM Academy 21 Days Music Challenge - All Songs from Day 9

Themes

First day of the 21 days of VGM challenge!

Playing around with some strings on this one.

After The Battle (strings)

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

Day 2 - Power Up

Day 2 (Captin Barbosa)

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

Space Station Lobby

Working with the "Uni-pitch" today, I made a little disco track with chippy little one-pitched lead.

I found this one pretty tough! You'll notice that I cheated a little, with the pitch rolloff on parts of the melody. The last section makes use of octaves as well.

I enjoyed this one! Wish I'd had a little more time to play with the uni-pitch idea.

Day 8 - Mono

A sketch of a sombre tune for a samurai warrior. Not much time today, so mostly just trying to get a decent collection of sounds.

Day 9 - Lone Samurai

Day 9 of the #21DaysofVGM.  Not a lot of time today, but that's why it is nice to have some simpler challenges in the quest log like an inn theme.  This is a simple little inn theme for when the heroes of an RPG take a much needed rest at an inn.  A little typical, but a soft little tune to start the day never hurts.

Day 09 - Peaceful Rest

Something Borrowed: 
Use at least one Borrowed Chord in one of your compositions. Borrowed chords give you new and exciting options for harmonizing your melodies. See the analysis of Final Fantasy VII’s main theme at vgmacademy.com/ff7 for an explanation.

21-Day Composition Challenge (Day 9, Something Borrowed)

The Storm's Song

Composer and sound designer based in London. I also make small ( and generally audio focused) games.

Day 9 - Lone Samurai
