ThatHiddenCharacter's Compositions - New! Six Songs!

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

@Andy: The swung against the stright is intentional. The only time when it sounds wierd to me is when the drums join onward. I would fix it, but every part was made a specific way that means I can't change them without losing what they are meant to be.

I decided to change the drums the tiniest bit and it sounds a bit better now.

Backstory time! In the beginning of me composing, before I knew of Musescore, I used a mobile app called Musepad (Not affiliated with Musescore). It is unlike any music notation software I've ever found, but that's not the point. Most of my compositions are on that. Most of them are horrible, but I plan to make them better, like I did with World 3. I have decided to work on a "project", if you will, of putting the songs into Musescore. Not as easy as it sounds because Musepad uses a file, which when I looked it up, it said that the file was an incorrect file because it's the file used for searches on a certain search engine. I don't remember which search engine, though. Anyway, I have to input the songs into Musescore from scratch. I will do this, make the songs that need to be made better, better, and put them here. Right now I have a song that was already fine. It's based off of my forest theme (The one not from After). It might be some sort of credits them or something. It has a repeat, but it also has an ending after the repeat, so if you're too lazy to listen to the whole repeat, but want to hear the ending, just skip ahead. Here it is.

I like this one, feels mystical. The only complaint I have is that the melody can't be heard when it's in the bass instruments, but other than that it was very enjoyable.

Do you mean it's hard to hear the steel drum part as more instruments are added? By the time the flute joins, that technically becomes the melody.

The part from 0:32 - 0:57

Now I really don't understand what you mean. The bass isn't supposed to have melody.

I find it interesting that it has almost/absolutely no chord progressions, but still manages to be fairly engaging.

O, I heard moving notes so I thought that was the melody, sorry.

The entire song is comprised of two chords. F major and G major (with some dissonance from the steel drums, which stay in F major).

I still can't hear the steel drums.

I still can't hear the steel drums.

You might wanna crank your volume a bit.

[WaluigiTime64]

Yoooouuuuuuuuuu.

[ThatHiddenCharacter]

I still can't hear the steel drums.

In general or at the later parts? The part that has the swing is the steel drum if you mean in general.

Oh it's actually because I thought you were referring to Forest Reprise.

Forest Reprise is just violoncello and flute. I don't think steel drum would quite fit the mood I'm going for in that one.
