    "Touhou Mecha" Chapter 1 released - a kinetic-style novel with a soundtrack by meeee

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Hey guys

    So this is what I've been up to lately: At another forum I post on, this guy said he was looking for music for his "Touhou Mecha" kinetic novel - a kind of visual novel without any branching storylines, and that it was almost done and his first musician went MIA. I saw some screencaps and since the project was almost done I signed on without hesitation. After all, it's about goddam big robots.

    The guy in charge, Graph, did most of the artwork/programming himself, and it's quite an impressive little story. I did 99% of the music save for one of the battle songs that was already completed. It's kind of a rare style for me, I don't normally do orchestral stuff, but it was very fun to write and pretend I was writing for some big mecha anime like Gundam. Can't really compare myself to the guys working @ Sunrise but I think I did ok.

    You guys should check it out, I'm proud to put another notch on my belt for soundtrack work :D and I'm pretty proud to be a part of this awesome thing.

    Tribes: Ascend megathread

    i've played it a bit and unlocked a few classes (sentinel, infiltrator, technician) but it seems like there's some pretty huge balancing issues. some weapons are just stupidly overpowered

    Aside from the super heavy perk, my main class is Juggernaut with the default loadout. Things you have right away. Getting the xp to upgrade those is also not very difficult, especially if you go for the EXP medals right away. I typically do pretty well [as far as kills go, I get mid to top place each round]. Also, the people you start out playing with are absolute retards, because the matches put you with people your rank. Starting out for me it was a bit unfair 'cause I've been playing a heavy class since Tribes 1 came out, so I already knew how the game was supposed to work. I'm almost rank 19 now. Haven't been able to play as much as I'd have liked, otherwise I think I'd have a gold badge by now.

    I'm really liking what the game's turned into so far, really all I need is a few new maps [and a map editor!!!!] and I would love to have the bomber and heavy transport back from Tribes 2. This is still the most fun I've had playing a game for the last year or so.

    How to write realistic solo piano pieces

    in Music Composition & Production

    you shouldn't write music that you can't play yourself

    not saying you can't, but how can you expect to create a believable piano performance without knowing how to play the piano? without playing anything live you'll spend needless hours finetuning and doing velocity changes & such

    as a composer I would stress that at least a basic knowledge of how to play the piano is important

    Hi it's me again!

    I couldn't help myself so I made another radio show, this time with a specific goal, to play new and good touhou arrangements, goof off with TrueStar, and share news and information about Touhou and its batshit insane culture. As with most of the DJs that post here, my show is hosted by the awesome http://areciboradio.com/ internet radio station.

    Keep up to date with it through the KNGI radio network:
