I know a certain someone who will take you home.

Not to mention, how I'm working on a Satsuki Rin script. I wonder how this goes with that, it sounds more Final Boss-ish than the one I'm using now what I got from Nico.

[Zengar Zombolt]

Hey, this sounds rather nice! I approve of it. However the fadeout at the end sounds... Weird.
Also I weep for you. Moerin, do your thing.

[Anunsew]

The fadeout was done using note velocity, not with expression so...
*ehem*
Please forget the above lines...

Glad that someone likes it. ^^
It supposed to loop back to 0:20 after finishing the last chorus, so it doesn't really have an ending.

So someone is making a Rin Satsuki script on danmakufu?

[Solais]

Aye, it's my very first amateur work. So it's not that great, but I learned a lot during making it. It's almost done, only two cards needed.

[flamezero16]

I like it amigo. I was thinking of covering One way Accelerator at some point, but this sounds even better

[Moerin]

...!
:helepolis:
This may be a little abrupt and all seeing how we don't really know each other, but I want to marry you and have your children.  Like, seriously. >.>

Ahem... Oh wow... That's really, really good~  I mean, it's great to see stuff like this coming out for poor, forgotten Rin... Keep up the good work, please! 

[Anunsew]

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I re-uploaded a clearer version on Youtube and MF, since the five second silence at the end bugged me to sleeplessness, and the Strings and Choir Ahs can only be barely heard. >.<

Links are on the first post.


I need more love to make another theme. >.<
*Girls are now gathering love*

[Solais]

* Solais channels love.

[Anunsew]

Thanks for the love. :3

I'm trying to experiment with weird instrument combination like Marimba-Rock Piano-Distortion Guitar. Currently studying Sanae's theme, Reimu's first theme, and Touhou 6's menu theme for reference as well.

Study, study, study...if I do it good, I'm gonna get a good melody.

[Bitz]

I say you've got great potential.

My main criticism about this specific piece of music is that it doesn't sound very... boss-ish. Unless it's not meant to sound boss-ish. There's also a few things I think could be improved, too, but I myself am not a very experienced composer either.

Edit: Oh yeah, and make better fade-outs :3. You could use Audacity or something instead of just putting dynamics marks every measure at the end, which is what I'm assuming you're doing with your music-making program.

I'm still self-studying so I'm still pretty rough when it comes to composing. Still, I'm going to try my best to get the style just right for Touhou. :3

Audacity...hmm, why didn't I think of that? :O

[atoms2ashes]

...I envy you so much right now...

...It sounds SO MUCH like what ZUN would compose...

...

FFFFFF

Parsee instincts tingling...

But yeah, *gives love. LOTS OF IT*

[RainfallYoshi]

This sounds so great. It's incredibly pleasant to the ears. Now we just need a game with Rin in it!

I have to agree that the fadeout is incredibly awkward though.

[Solais]

Well, for my Script, I won't use this, it's too un-boss like, but one of her cards have changed so much that I had to rename it, and I chose the name  Descending Red "Cherry Flavored Justice".

[Netwarrior]

You sure are modest, man. This music is incredible.

I'm planning to make a Touhou fighting fan-game ( when I get someone that models on Blender/3DSMax well or I learn to do so, and also when I learn completely the XNA Framework ) and I intend to make one of it's characters Rin ( and also Mima ), so I hope you let me use this music as Rin's theme.


I think there's some problem with Mediafire, because I can't download this incredible music... Nothing happens after I start the download...

[Anunsew]

Well, for my Script, I won't use this, it's too un-boss like, but one of her cards have changed so much that I had to rename it, and I chose the name  Descending Red "Cherry Flavored Justice".

Regardless, be sure to give me a link if you manage to finish the script. :3

Actually, the theme was purposely made that way because a friend of mine (a danmakufu scripter) wanted a very long intro that lasts up to 50 seconds (The first life bar is a Survival Card lasting 50 secs), then the main spell card he called [Flare] Kirin's Descent activates around the chorus 51 seconds in.

We never managed to make it sync properly though, so he kinda abandoned the script.

EDIT: I'm so useless with Distortion guitars. :/
I'm gonna go back to Strings where my heart belongs. :3

[atoms2ashes]

...if only I had your skills...and knowledge of whatever program you are using.

I am stuck with FL Studio...

[Netwarrior]

I think FL Studio is better for people that are used to work with sounds and stuff.

I recommend using a simpler program, such as Anvil Studio or Encore.

[Anunsew]

Eden of Phantasm~Fantasy Candy
Mp3

Well, it's mainly an experiment on my part. I was trying out some instrument sounds that I don't usually use (like Marimba and Violins). Still doesn't have the boss-ish feel to it though, but I'll try harder next time.

I also learned the difficulty of bad panning skills. 

I hope you enjoy it.

[Solais]

Greatness.

It really doesn't sound boss-ish, more like the endings of the games. But I like it still.
(Hmm, I actually had plans to make a Meimu script too, a long ago...)

[Anunsew]

I still can't make variations and counter-points in melodies.

Anyway, I'll try concentrating on shorter, but more 'meatier' compositions on later works.

EDIT:
:O

Girls are now rendering.
...What have I done?

[Anunsew]

Eye of Painful Death ~ Fourth Melody

Someone requested a theme out of me via pm.
Well, here ya go. It's kinda rushed, but I think it turned out fine. I think.

Hey, I finished this on time for Tanabata! :3


Comment:
Meatier, no. Weirder, yes.

[Anunsew]

Witch of Love Potion

I was bored, had lot of things to do recently, so I wanted to do something that doesn't eat a lot of time. I just played around with an old midi in my USB drive.

It's Witch of Love Potion from トルテルマジック (Toruteru Majikku or Torte le Magic, rough translate--correct me if I'm wrong. XD). Stage 1 theme, the stage which features an army of flying broomsticks.

Anyway, I hope somebody likes it. ^^


EDIT:
I found an old midi and decided to play with it a little. It's a little simple, but easily my favorite track from the Touhou series.

Iris

It's Touhou 1's ending theme!   :yukkuri:

[flamezero16]

Hmmm well theyre alright, but i really loved the Iris arrange. One of my favorites as well.

[Netwarrior]

I really love your version of Rin's Theme. I just can't stop listening to it on my MP3 Player again and again.

The only setback about it it's that it's too short. It has less phrases that a ZUN-made song. Just compare the number of phrases in Necrofantasia and how they're related to each other and then compare it with Rin's theme. I mean, the song is nice as hell, but it lacks the epic-ness tone of ZUN-made music. I also think that the main phrase of the song ( the chorus, somehow ) isn't used up to it's full potencial... It has a good melody and gives an certain feeling of action, and a full feeling of  "Cherry Flavored Justice", but it's too small lenghted, if compared to other epic main phrases of  ZUN's music, like Border of Life's and Reach the Moon's main phrases.

Thus, the interlude between the first and last part is just too long. As for me, I don't think it's nice for an interlude to take almost half of the song's lenght.


If you could just grant me a wish, I would be very happy. The wish is: an opera-ish rearrange of Rin's theme. A very peculiar charactristic on almost all ZUN's music is that they become unspeakebly epic when rearranged so they look like classical music or an opera.

I'm not too good with melodies, especially since I'm still inexperienced (I'm not kidding when I say that I have no musical background whatsoever). I'm trying to learn faster though, and that's what occupying most of my time right now.

As for the interlude, I made it that way so I can add melodies when I learn better melodic patterns. It's just a string of broken chords, just like what ZUN's baseline often sounds like. XD

If you could just grant me a wish, I would be very happy. The wish is: an opera-ish rearrange of Rin's theme. A very peculiar charactristic on almost all ZUN's music is that they become unspeakebly epic when rearranged so they look like classical music or an opera.

Opera-ish...I'll get to that level someday.  :3

穢れ亡き夢 ～ Ethereal Mind

BelisariaYagami requested a theme for a fanmade character named Belisaria Yagami (eh~?), so I came to deliver (after weeks of musical salt blocks).

If you're not familiar with her (like me~it's like OCs are sprouting everywhere)

This one sounds a little bit different, maybe I'm learning? I still have a long way to go.

Seriously though, I hope somebody enjoys it.

[flamezero16]

Well that kid ya wrote it for seems to like it quite a bit, so id call it a success! Hey amigo, im thinkin of coverin your Cherry Flavored Justice at some point. Do I have your permission?
