Welcome, NSMers! I've never been much of a composer, but recently I've decided to take my musical interests a bit more seriously, and I figured that my best way of improving is by getting feedback from all you guys!
Composition 1 - Howling Winds
I wrote this piece just the other night. I wouldn't call it complete, but I got to include most of the major ideas I thought of. If you want to think of it as a video game track, I think that it'd fit best as a JRPG battle theme or fighting game theme. It could obviously use some improvement in terms of the quality of instruments/soundfonts used to render it (especially the guitars), but in terms of actual general composition techniques, I'd say my main weaknesses I'm trying to fix for now are how to write fuller sounding guitar parts, finding out appropriate drum beats, and figuring out how to have interesting background parts instead of just writing things in unison or chord harmony without having things sound messy.
Anyways hope you enjoy, and if not, I'd love to hear some criticisms or advice to improve! Thanks for listening!
