12.01.00 - A Dreaming Beauty

I just realized that in addition to the decided pre-music content, I still take the time to ramble something off at the top here. I like rambling. It's very unimportant and decidely incoherant most of the time. Until the fellas with the white jackets find me, I'll continue to ramble on about meaningless things.

Aside from the song of the week, which has been running through my mind for.. oh, 3 days now..

Today's meaningless ramble: Sticky notes

where did my sticky notes go.. I just had a big package of em laying right here.. confound it, I need those sticky notes! ..dan stole them.. I know he did. that worthless little imp.. I shall maim him when he gets back from lunch..

Random Music Reviews The following random reviews are my personal reflections upon the author's work. If you disagree with my views, make sure to let the author know what you think of their pieces! Midi Composition "Town Theme" Ahh, nostalgia. You can't beat it with a stick. If only the NES were capable of using samples of this quality. "Prologue" Something about this song just makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. It being done on a piano just sounds downright cool. "Aria de Mezzo Carraterre (String Mix)" Kinda on the quiet side, but that may just be my sound card. *glares at sound card* The vocal instrument is definately an original angle. "Julia's Theme" You know that song that sounds like Eye's On Me - only on piano? Well, here it is! "Desert Palace" I can't quite place it, but I'm certain it's because I havn't gotten that far in IX yet. Good piano sampling, I dig. MP3 Remixes "Till Death Rimsala" No way I could leave this one alone. I believe this is our first Arcana music submission. Oh how I love the old SNES games that no one has played. Thanks for kickin the nostalgia into overdrive Squall! ;) "Marle's Theme (Waltz Mix)" Is it just me, or should there have been a ballroom sequence to go along with this song? Very nice. "Slain" And the nostalgia continues. Very majestic tone used here, really captures the atmosphere. "Promised Land Remix" I'm glad I don't have a copy of FF2 to compare this song to. I would be depressed. This song rocks. "Main Theme" Atmospheric, ambient and symphonic. I dig your style Squall. Digital Music "The Doma Castle Upbeat Mix" Dome Castle wasn't *supposed* to be upbeat! =) Never the less, it's a good, creative mix. "Loss of Me" Good sampling, good feeling, good song!

Creation Tips Woohoo! Gwilym Wogan has come through! Take a gander at his helpful hints on: Sound Quality

Current Competitions While I do have plans for releasing full details of the next RPGamer Music Competition, I have not had time to finalize what exactly I want this to comprise. More to come in the future!

Weekly Silliness Last week's song title comes from the amazing progressive rock band Porcupine Tree (why can't I live in England?) Kudos to the following people who sent in the correct answer: Pretzel Rabidamoeba Hutta (even though he didn't send me an email) The above mentioned people rock. =)
