Where by "it" I mean the composition contest I posted about so much last year, and by "kinda" I mean that it made its return in January and has since ended. (Man do I suck at updating this journal). Anyway, I've been meaning to post about this for a while and was planning to do so as soon as I uploaded the songs to something better than Putfile ( Read more... )

I've been meaning to answer these questions from Stormfeather for a while, so here they are.

Sorry I haven't posted anything before this; as we know, keeping my livejournal updated is not one of my strengths ( Read more... )

I just got back from the bookstore, despite the fact that I ordered the book on Amazon instead of reserving one. I went just to see the people, and it was soooo worth it ( Read more... )

Yup, we're having an actual contest now. Instead of having an hour to come up with out songs we have a week, and at the end we get rated by whoever feels like doing so. I was impressed by the overall quality of this week's entries ( Read more... )

I've been pretty bad about keeping up with these, which isn't great since they're just about the only thing I post here these days. On the other hand, I'm not sure if anyone other than Maggie listens to them anyway. (If you're only patient enough to play one, do the last one, since it's vastly better than the others). Here are my last several ( Read more... )

Today our theme was remixing rock songs as battle themes. Mine ended up sounding pretty ridiculous, but it was still a lot of fun to do it. (midi)

This time only two of us showed up, and we decided on Mitsuda songs as the theme. I attempted To Far Away Times, which was much more difficult than I originally estimated, so I only got about 45 seconds into it in over 2 hours. I think it sounds decent, though.

[edit: after time was over I worked on it a little more and got a little farther: ( Read more... )
