Haha, i've actually marched drum corps. I'll be marching again next summer most likely.
The line I was in last summer:

The two lines I'm trying out for this year:

And as for composing, I'm doing a super secret collaboration with someone here on the site, but I don't know if he/she wants me to post up what I'm working on or have it a surprise for the game's release.
Regardless though, I'm actually enrolled in a midi composition class back at school, so plan on hearing some really cool things that you will hopefully get to use in your games. I'm hoping to someday get into MP3s but I simply don't have the right tools at my disposal right now. :(
so unfair.

Don't mean to insult your knowledge/intelligence or anything (in case you already know this)... But if you can compose using staff notation then you can input it on a program like guitar pro, then you can export the midi (or just compose in midi first), then you can import the midi into a program like Propellerhead's Reason and assign the midi tracks to different output devices set up as the correct instruments with 32-bit effects, mixing, mastering and pretty much everything you could possibly need.. If you can find the right resources. Alternatively you can just compose entirely in reason.. It has a keyboard interface.
Then you can export the whole track as a .wav and convert the .wav to MP3 using readily available and free software. It's dead easy. I make music too (Or rather I DID, when I was in college), nowhere near as nicely composed as yours though.
Really nice composition on the piece you uploaded by the way. :)

Wow, super thank you for those tips, I will definitely look into that at some point in the near future.

No worries man. Seriously, it's pretty straightforward and you've definitely got the musical/compositional ability. You could probably learn the basics of using a program like reason in a day or two and the potential results are pretty limitless. (an awesome example: You can get a 2.2gb Steinway piano patch for it that emulates a Steinway D and some of their other famous pianos. It also emulates 5 microphone placements around the piano which you can individually adjust the virtual "placement" of and their input levels.) It's all technically MIDI aswell, but it doesn't sound anything like what you'd traditionally call "MIDI" in the sense you'd hear on an rpgmaker forum.

I broke one of my rules for this one though, and the percussion you hear is a combination of 3 loops. I only did that because it's an experiment though. I would never publish something with a loop and call it my own.
Enjoy!

Hey guys, I know the thread hasn't seen a whole lot of updates recently, but I HAVE been composing, I just can't post anything up yet because... well... you'll see soon enough :)
But I've also been having a certain film sountrack consuming me for the past couple days. Behold, one of the best soundtracks ever written! To my personal favorite movie :)

It's obviously Muse, as it is listed in your profile. 8)

I'm not a big anime guy, but man, Miyazaki's got some good stuff.
speaking of joe hisaishi scores, are you familiar with this?
the whole score is fantastic, as is the film.
