Ragtime

I composed this as game music. Could also be played by a player piano. It's meant to loop forever. You can stop listening after it repeats. Submission for the game music competition.The sheet is kinda messy, but , nobody would actually need the sheet music to learn it, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Nice piece, i could imagine playing tetris to this all day

Nice, I think It's fits more in a Chaplin movie than a video game.

I suggest you try to notate the left hand has eight notes with staccato, is more confortable to read.

I would love to see this in a game like Earthworm Jim or some other equally wacky yarn.

Nice work, Ian. Very wacky indeed.

Thanks for the comments.

Nice job! The only thing I would suggest, is no repeating inside the repeats: we're already going here everything over and over, this will just cause the listener to get annoyed quicker with certain sections. I also think that a section with a significantly different texture (still related to the "style") would be good, because when something repeats for ever without a change in texture it can be frustrating. If you listen to a lot of music, the texture/orchestration often changes pretty dramatically over the course of a loop. These are just suggestions though, it works fine how as it is.

Hey, congratulations what a great piece. Made me smile :). I guess this ragtime would be great fun in a comic-style game like Tom & Jerry

Stunned with awe

haha, good one ian!

i'd love to hear a real honky tonky piano and you playing it...just experimented with this for a film, it didn't came out as convincing as you did.

Thanks.

:happy: Nice work, Ian. You really captured the good ol' 1910's in this piece. :cool:

THIS PIECE SOUNDS SO HAPPY!!!!!!!*LIKES IMMEDIATELY*

Hey, this is a great little piece here! I have come to realize that ragtime is something I do like!

I don't know about the end with those... like 4 octaves? I know you know that isn't possible on someone's hand, but would it be like... well... how exactly do you want that?

Thanks for posting this! and YES it is happy :D

Yeah, I'm completely ignoring actual playability. Glad you guys liked it.

Very good

This sounds awesome! It's like ragtime with a twist!
