Adventure EP - A MIDI Album

[Dragonfly]

 

It's time for an adventure! Here's my fourth release, the Adventure EP. I've titled it as an EP due to having a shorter tracklist/playtime than my previous releases, and these tracks are aimed at evoking a more adventurous feeling than my usual releases.

 

Included is a collection of six MIDI tracks in a variety of styles. As usual, you're free to use these MIDI's as you please, none of the tracks included here are directly tied to any specific projects except for Track 4, but I permit people to use it where they please in their projects - Just make sure you credit me wherever my music is used please.

 

As always, I'd like to think there's at least a little something for everyone in here - "92 is half of 99" is a piece inspired by the soundtrack to Old-School Runescape and might appeal to people's nostalgia; "Conqueror" conjures images of grand castles; "Unholy Matriarch" rips through you like a ruthless final boss; and "Do Not The Horse" gives you an energetic ending as you ride off into the sunset!

 

I wish to continuously improve as I compose more and more, so if you have feedback that could help improve the music I write, don't hesitate to let me know. :)

 

I hope you enjoy listening to these and/or using these in your maps!

There's an extra version of Track 6, "Do Not The Horse" which excludes the use of the General Midi horse patch, which should make it more usable within Doom maps. 😅

Damn, this is really good! I'm glad to see you branch out to more adventurous stuff. This music is very inspiring and makes me want to try my hand at making more adventurous style maps in the future.

 

I am, however, currently using music from your last album in a project, so I really hope to god I don't let you down with that, haha!

[Dragonfly]

Always an honour to hear my tunes in your works, Bri. 👌

Little promotional video uploaded, featuring track 2 from the EP!

These are great Dragonfly! I'll be using these soon. Maybe my ASS maps will be better with these tunes lmao

[LuciferSam86]

Really good songs. I really like your evolution as an artist . 

[Dragonfly]

Thank you!

Part of me wished the horses stayed during the whole of Do Not The Horse but hey, GM limitations oblige it. I just feel like this would totally be the best time to do a Doom train robbery level.

 

Really good music all around, had a blast listening to that on the SC-88. My favorite high point was the intense drumming on And Into The Forest I Go, To Lose My Mind And Find My Soul. May I ask what sound platform you're using to make these? 

[Dragonfly]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the tracks! I do agree about the horse, or lack thereof, but unfortunately the actual drum samples available when using the SFX Drum Kit are very few and far between. I'd love to see a map in that theme using this MIDI though, heh!

 

When you say sound platform I assume you mean MIDI Device / soundfont(s)? I'm composing using the Microsoft GS Wavetable that's bundled with Windows 10, and the tool I composed them with was Sekaiju, if that helps. 👍

You can have a very long horse that extends past the program change and it'll keep playing!

Yeah that's what I meant, thanks for replying!

Finally had a chance to listen to the whole thing and no surprise it's fantastic! Especially enjoyed Unholy Matriarch. Great job!

[ImproversGaming]

Wow, track 2 really impressed me so I downloaded the EP!

I have been playing through them this morning and they are really, really good. I have never enjoyed music, but have finally installed a soundfont to listen to some MIDIs.

 

Will check out the rest of your work. Your website looks great and easy to navigate - I found EDEN and A BOY AND HIS BARREL. Not sure if they are still live but they look intriguing. Also, I really loved the shout out to Jimmy on the download page - nice that there is great creative support in the community and that it gets acknowledged!

 

Keep up the great work.

Dude, that works?! I might have to revisit this midi at some point. Thanks for the tip!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you taking the time to look at the website, too. Regarding those maps, Eden is still unreleased, I will likely repurpose the map elsewhere eventually. As for A Boy And His Barrel, you can find that project here:
