9 unfinished/abandoned songs!

Posted by gregaaron89 - September 28th, 2008


So it's been... 2 months since I submitted a song? Damn. Well, I try to make these things, but I end up giving up just after starting. I'm getting really close to the sound I want now, downloaded like a million plug ins and I'm finally getting really good at EQing.

Well I'd really like you guys to take a look at this following list, and tell me if you hear anything you like. I really want to share my music with Newgrounds, but it will be a while until I complete something :(

I: Pre-Windstorm (I had just bought Logic)

1: time signature experiment I don't know what this is, just me fooling around with different time signatures and stuff :P
2: untitled slow march
I really like this one, but I think it's really boring as is. I tried to improvise a melody, but I'm not too good at keyboard. Although I can see it turning into something cool, i just don't see HOW.

II: Post Dream Addiction [Trance Mix] (I felt like I had to live up to my last two songs and I was constantly discouraged by my attempts)

3: melodic trance attempt #1 This one I was really proud of the stereo kick build, I felt like I had come up with something original. I had this weird feeling that I heard this exact progression before... I realized that I had BASICALLY copied Pulstate's One Wish (OriginalMix) ALMOST exactly. Unintentionally. I guess it was just sitting in my subconscious. What really freaked me out is that I used the exact same notes too O_o Only the progression is slightly off. I had to instantly abandon that one after that discovery.
4: house/blues fusion?
Probably my most original song yet. :P A fusion between House and Blues. Completely unintentional, but I went for it XD
5: appleey trance
Some crappy trance 'jingle' i guess you'd call it, sounds like something from an apple commercial. I like the bass though.
6: melodic trance attempt #2
I really like the progression in this one. The arp is a little bit annoying, and I ran out of ideas.

III: In college (even though i'm in art school, and I thought I'd have no time to make music, I've come up with my best stuff so far here. Maybe it's the creative environment) :P

7a: melodic trance attempt #3 main part
My best trance so far, no question. I actually started this one after #5, but I totally redid it, and redid the bass and percussion several days later. I'm pretty unhappy with the sound, it's really messy :/ I actually cleaned it up a lot from what it was like >> I really over did it on the percussion too. I'm very happy with the progression.
7b: melodic trance attempt #3 initial buildup
Since I did the main part of the song first, I decided I'd go back to the start. This kind of feels like a different song though, but I think it can fit. Ran out of ideas again...
8: ambient piece
My first attempt at ambient :) I was feeling really contemplative and I was playing around with my keyboard so I came up with this. Needs a lot of work.
9: deep trance attempt #1 edit: (updated 10/12)
I got a rush of inspiration today, so I ran to my computer to start making something. It came out totally different (but better) :o I definitely feel like I'm getting the hang of this :) I made this relatively easily and quickly, with a good amount of control. I ran out of ideas, but I just started this today so I'll probably get back into it. I've also gotten pretty good at EQ. This one's definitely going to be a full length song, along with 7.

If you have any suggestions, please post! that's why I'm putting this here! Tell me what you like/don't like and it will be taken into consideration :)
