Rexon - End Of Heartache (Killswitch Engage cover)

Had an idea to do a piano solo of Orient Express for Pixel Mixers Crash Bandicoot mini-album but time was against me so that never happened. Instead I got with my brother and created a more electronic version for the album which can be downloaded for free on Pixel Mixers site or this link here: http://bit.ly/2jl77pC

Orient Express - Crash Bandicoot 3 Piano Solo Ideas

Yeah um...I read the prompt idea today about using a drum loop as a start to a melody...but...there's a particular motif I wanted to establish in order to use in future melodies within this challenge. SO...here's a title screen theme!

Day 8 - Emergence (#21DaysofVgm)

This is an original commission from TheGuySilver for his YouTube channel. Composed around the idea of an army of robots coming in to attack and chasing the protagonist.


Composition by Peter Fulker, 2018.

Robot Running (Original Commission)

I got introduced to this website called videogamemusicacademy.com that has a music making challenge this month. Basically you are challenged to produce a snippet of music every day for the next 21 days in order to build a habit of composing.
The host of the challenge provided a list of ideas for people to get busy with, called Quest Logs.

Because of my chronic condition I don't necessarily expect to be able to complete the challenge. I won't be competing for prizes. I just want to see how far I can get. I like the idea of just writing something without having to commit to finishing an idea to completion.

This particular piece sprung forth from Quest Log Level 1. One of the challenges is to write something in swing (that means that 8-th notes alternate between long and short). I messed around on my piano and quickly got something that sounded swingy enough. It is not quite my style, but I guess playing around with it did teach some new things. For example: I learned that swing notes go well with triplets.

I quickly booted up MuseScore2 and wrote down what I got, then tried to add some more things. I ended up getting seriously stuck, but that's okay for now. Its not about getting polished tunes.

Yeah, the samples sounds terrible :P Can't help you with that.

PS: Oh yeah, the challenge started yesterday, so I enabled cheat mode and did two things today to catch up :P

[Musical Sketch] If It Aint Got That Swing - VGMA Challenge Lv I

I got introduced to this website called videogamemusicacademy.com that has a music making challenge this month. Basically you are challenged to produce a snippet of music every day for the next 21 days in order to build a habit of composing.
The host of the challenge provided a list of ideas for people to get busy with, called Quest Logs.

Because of my chronic condition I don't necessarily expect to be able to complete the challenge. I won't be competing for prizes. I just want to see how far I can get. I like the idea of just writing something without having to commit to finishing an idea to completion.

This particular piece sprung forth from Quest Log Level 1. I was going to go for "Something Borrowed", which challenges you to "borrow" a chord from another Key. I thought I did, but then I realized the F-sharp is part of the harmonic G-minor key. So I ended up thinking I was going between chromatic and harmonic minor. However, I did end up canceling the E-flat, so now I'm not sure what to call that. I kept the B-flat, so it wasn't a genuine modulation to G-major either. 0_0; I guess I'll just settle for another quest called "A minor challenge". This just has you write something in a minor key, which I did: G-minor.

I kind of had something like this melody going round in my head for weeks now and figured I'd put it to paper. It turned out a little different than I wanted, and I guess I'm not too happy with it. I'll probably work on it more another time. For now, it should be enough that I tried something for the challenge.

Unfortunately I missed yesterday and I'm feeling terribly sick (flu/cold) today. Or to stay in the video game lingo: "I'm poisoned and need a cure." :P
