So, here I write another song, trying...at least....

I don't remember much information about how i wrote it, so yeah, I just never had the guts to actually post it here. And i just assumed this section would be a good one to suit the song cause it does sound video game-ish.

Give me your opinions on it please, thats what i need the most. Im still learning...

Thanks, Kyle Infante

The main theme sounds like a Zelda song, or at least parts that sound like it. Which is a good thing.

I have an eerily similar sounding flute part in a song I've made. Though the rest of the song and style are pretty different. I'll post that one.

The accompaniment to the main theme sounds good. The theme could use some variation though, maybe another part to go along with the main theme, or change up the main part unexpectedly someplace.

Good work though

You know how many people have said that this song sounds like a Zelda song.

When I was listening to this, I was wishing I could hear it in an SNES-type soundfont. Yes, it's probably the Zelda syndrome rearing its head. Do you do any work with soundfonts?

As far as the musical content goes, you do a great job with the way it builds throughout, with one exception: in the shorter section from 1:08 to 1:20 -- I understand what you were trying to to by bringing it down before it springboards into its finale, but I fear that this section may be too long and it actually starts to lose energy where you want it to be gathering energy. I would think that you only need to go softer for four bars to achieve this effect.

Great melodies, great ending, great piece!

Good, this is good for a videogame, the key change to build tension is always a useful classic

I wouldn't compare it to Zelda, specially since I often compare the music of Zelda to Beethoven (flame me all you want for that. Yes, I do compare them in quality.)

I really like this. The whole thing has a pseudo-eastern feel to it. I'm not that familiar with Zelda's music, but from what I do know, I'd have to agree with the other posts; this would fit right in.

I agree with Pugly in that the accompaniment is plenty varied, while the melody is somewhat repetitious after a while (which could be a good thing).
