ARMANKY'S PROFILE

That is some Indigo Prophecy.

I've always been curious if it's possible to make a regal-sounding Arabian-type theme, like city background music to the bustling capital of a desert empire. Only they're actually ahead of the world in technology (you know, like not the real world) and this city is pretty much the place to be.

Currently working on it. Might take another day or two, but I really like how it's turning out so far.

Very impressive, Armanky. This took what, 8 hours? Wish I had that inspiration of yours! Great instrumentation, great character, great melody and arrangement. What's your musical background/education, I'm curious?

Mostly just sequencing a whole bunch of video game MIDIs and having an astouding amount of experiments in my MIDI folder. I'm going into College this fall and the only music class I've had is my high school choir (stresses sight-reading a whole bunch, which helped a lot I guess).

Other than that, not a lot. Just an appreciation for game music.

I might can fit in another request if anybody has an idea to throw out there.

Alrighty, here we go.

I hope that's close enough to what you had in mind. I wish it'd turned out more ambient than melodic, but I guess that's for you to judge, now isn't it?

So, basically I've got an unreasonable amount of time on my hands due to some events in real life involving friends out of town and employment stuff. And like any happy little musician, I can't get better unless I write a helluva lot of music.

Every now and then I've kind of bothered one of my friends for a theme to write music around, and pretty much every time I didn't really get anything truly useful. It was so not cool.

But now I'm at an RPG forum! And who better to ask for music ideas? So, any sort of theme you wanna hear composed, hit me. Need music for a specific part of your game? Go for it! Morbidly curious what theme music would sound like for a robot squid overlord? Sure thing! Whatever you can imagine, I'll try my best to fit it.

As it is my mediums for composition include standard boring MIDIs and Finale Printmusic, which produces much better quality MP3s. Whichever you want is fine, but by default I'm probly gonna go to Finale.

So yeah, hit me with some ideas, yo.

Running around, working, dealing with real life stuff. Apparently too busy to be dealing with RPG Maker at the precise moment in time.
