Figured I'd start a thread for my MIDI compositions.

Here's a list of them, arranged by year, with WAD names and song titles. All of them were made with Anvil Studio. Not much here, but I hope for the list to grow over time. They may not be used, however, without my permission.

I like what I'm hearing! :)

You like your E minor don't you? I count 5 pieces out of 9 which use it.
(I tend to use it a lot too. I have no idea why.)

[Mechadon]

I really liked the music you allowed me to use in GWII's MAP35. I'll have to listen to these others I haven't heard yet :)

As usual, I like what I hear. It also seems like you improve as time goes on.

[Super Jamie]

These are cool. You have a somewhat distinct style but also manage to make a variety of songs, from fast action to sombre spooky and there's even a bit of 70s war rock thrown in there.

As Kassman said, your skill noticeably improves over time in tempo and use of multiple tracks at once. My favorites would be Crimson Moon and Mad Rush.

Keen to see more as they come :)

Sounds pretty cool, especially infernos march...

Remember you asked me to remix one of these? I'm doing "Inferno's March". It's up to 3 minutes so far. ;)

I think I use it mainly because I listen to metal music a lot. E minor is popular in heavy metal music, at least.

"Under a Crimson Moon" received a lukewarm reception when I first submitted it, as it didn't fit Plutonia very well, not to mention Eternal (among others) basically called it a load of shit. As a result, I'm surprised people actually like it. :p

I'd ask just how in the world you managed to stretch a simplistic, 1:35 song I made in one day to 3 minutes, but I think I'll wait to hear the result. ;)

Claustrophobia MAP01 is an awesome track. I remember playing that map over and over while I was on vacation. Not only the map is pretty sick; the music makes it.
