It kind of grows on you. I listened to it again and it sounded even cooler than the first time.

Yeah, thats cool.

Very soothing.

Dolash, if you played it on a continious loop, it could become in-game music for your TRF the RPG.

Speaking of which, is it ready to play yet?

As I explained to Zark, I don't really play the piano, no. I know the mechanics of it of course; you know the mechanics of music, you know the mechanics of every instrument. But if you told me to play an F-chord I wouldn't naturally know where to put my fingers, just like a piano player wouldn't naturally know where to put his fingers to play an F-chord on a guitar.

It's something I wrote independantly and had a computer play. The chord movement is just something basic -- Am-F-C-G repeated, then C-G-Am if you were wondering -- and the melody is something I improvised over top. It's written in the key of C.

I have a hard drive full of this @#%$ and I write more everyday. It's a quick way to compose for instruments I couldn't possibly play and hear the results.

You should learn how to play, or at least shell out for a midi keyboard, then your computerized efforts will sound infinitely more polished.

I liked it how it was. Just because something is made on the computer and not with the real instrument does not lessen the overall effect.

In my mind it does, however.

I'm very picky in that regard.

That's because you're stupid. If I hadn't told you you wouldn't have known. How does my playing a note by hitting a key, recording it an sending it to you make that note any more real than if it is a synthesized note? Quick answer: it does not.

There are no dynamics or expression in computerized pieces. So it does ruin it slightly. But theres still alot to be said for not having to learn to play the Instrument.
