It's still exam time, but since I (annoyingly) missed last week, I feel like I should try to get back on track. So I finished a piece I was working on before. It didn't really come out like I wanted it to, but it is last minute, so I'm not too surprised.
I don't know if I'll make it back home in time, so looks like I'm uploading a very, very WIP midi file from my phone. Enjoy!
Just a really rushed thing. Two more weeks left would leave me with a nice round 40 entries! Wish me luck.
In the middle of Ludum Dare at the moment, so this is the piece that will loop endlessly over my little game. It'll totally never get old.
EDIT: Here's the game if you want to go check out this piece in context. http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=49041
Or you know, if you just want to try out the game.
Man I left it really late this week. It's rendering right now - just a small thing.
EDIT: Uploaded! Wish I'd started way sooner, but that's just life innit.
There we go, got there in time.
I love writing stuff in this style, I should really do it more.
I wrote this because I was listening to the Gargan Roo music from FFIX and I wanted to write something with that kind of discordant sound. Makes me think of slimy caves.
Another little train piece. I actually had a lot more than this written on my phone, but I couldn't get it to sound all that nice, so I left it out.
Haha OK, time to just accept that I won't be finishing a piece as part of this streak.
But here's yet another WIP I wrote on the train today!
Another not-finished piece! I was planning to finish last week's piece instead, but I was enjoying writing this one. Oh well.
Edit: Wow, I cannot believe I missed the deadline by one minute. I didn't even realise how long rendering was taking...
Well... I guess I'm submitting two things this week?
Yet another beginning-of-a-piece. I think for next week, I'll try to finish one of the pieces I've started these past few weeks. I just don't really have the time to do a full piece each week at the moment, but I want to start getting things finished.
Short intro for a piece I'm working on as part of another small project. I've never wrote music in this kind of style before so I don't really know what I'm doing? I'll need to listen to some similar stuff and make sense of that.
An ominous sounding march this week. Wish the end was a little less abrupt though.
Ahhhh so little time again. Add this one to the pile of short things to finish later. I still like it though.
Played around with a few features I'd never used before in FL Studio. It's quite a short thing, but I think it sounds different to my usual things.
Not much time this week, but I wrote a little intro thing that I might continue later.
This came out of an experiment where I overlaid a bunch of major scales offset by five beats. It sounded kind of calm and pleasant, so I filled in the rest of the piece around that. I think it came out pretty nice.
I wrote this week's piece for a PyWeek entry (which we completely did not finish) so it has a kind of weird structure.
The game was going to be a sort of twist on the Patapon games (which are fantastic). Every second bar of the music, the player is inputting commands, so the music has to tone it down for those bars.

So it took me way longer to get back to this than I really intended. But here we are!
I wanted to be more ambitious than this piece really, but I did leave it until last minute as usual.
Nevertheless, first time I've written accordion music, so I have learned things.
I'm going to Germany in a few days, so this very well might mean my streak ends here for a bit.
I like this weeks piece, but I've realised I've been a little samey lately. Expect weird and unique things in a couple of weeks.
I had fun writing this. I have a laptop now, it's nice being able to use FL Studio when I'm not home.
