Looks awesome Nova! I can't check it out right now, however, because I'm still using my lowly dial-up. However, I should be near some high-speed wireless 'net Wednesday thru Saturday, so I'll listen ASAP, k?

[Nova]

Okay, thank you. I can assure you, they are much improved over my previous work.

[Nova]

I've taken a little break. I plan on going to a course for the program I use to compose the music. Once done, I should hopefully have a better idea on how to master my work.

I've got a few ideas for a next song.

- Lower Nofair has been complete, but... I'm not safisfied with it. The problem is, it shouldn't be changed, as it's good as it is. But there's no point of it, due to Kenji's version in MP (Magmoor Caverns).

- I've completed Motherbrain, but again, it needs something to stir it up. As soon as I come up with an introduction to it, and maybe something else to play in the background, I'd say it's good for publishing at least (aka posting on Internet ;>_>).
~~Edit for this: I think I have this song complete, but I have a problem. The file uses all my RAM, so I can't preview any files at all, or it "overloads". And when it freezes, audio files go off synch, unless I play from beginning... but it will keep overloading, no matter what. Anyway, there's a way to pass this problem, but it will take sometime.

- Started on SM Story Theme - sounding great at the start. Working on the middle bit.

- Maridia 2 is on hold, as the instruments I used to make Maridia 1 were screwed up, and I don't want to go through them again. I'll wait till I find a fix.

- Samus Vs. Gandrayda sounds amazing...ly similar to the original. Again, it's not complete, but the direction it's heading, it's going to be Lower Norfair all over again. Except, with really crappy drum sounds. I won't hide the fact, I'm not sure how to make drums sound brilliant. Another thing I hope to learn in this course.


Those are all the templates I was working on at least. I'm trying to aim for an hour's worth of content at least, if not more. The main menu right now is an original composition. I have a feeling I might need to create a few other original pieces, which is fine with me. And of course, all of this is WIP. I'll try and work with Troid on this.

Finally, I think I'll scrap Green Brinstar, or do something with it at least in the future. It just isn't holding itself like the other tracks. I don't want to make pieces that are inferior to the Metroid series' own music. It's why you will rarely see me covering the MP trilogy of music, unless I have to, or rare circumstance (Red Brinstar... which, I mostly covered that off SM's Red Brinstar, and got hella lucky with the instruments, and Samus Aran's Fanfares, etc, which are needed for the game if we're not to use any of Nintendo's material.)

hey man, I have been loving your music. it brings me some inspiration to keep doing the stuff I do (all my sprites and room designs run on inspiration) keep it going man!

[Nova]

Thank you, I appreciate the comments.

[kenji imatake]

no prob, your music is awesome what can I say?
if you need help with a theme to do... why not wrecked ship? that would be totally cool =D

[Nova]

Super Metroid's Wrecked Ship is laughably simple. I might work on it one day, but I'm not too bothered to cover it.

Metroid Prime's Wrecked Ship is such a beautiful song, I dare not try to cover it until I'm ready.

[kenji imatake]

You have a point there...
I can name A bunch of music but I am guessing you have a list of them all...?

[Nova]

I have every Metroid track on my computer, yes. Feel free to post requests. I must admit, I usually do things my own way, so requests are rarely fulfilled. You never know though.

I recommend for the most part suggesting songs that are not part of the Prime series, simply because they're far more complicated, and there's hardly any reason of covering any of their songs anyway.

[kenji imatake]

OMG! Wow... as soon as you said that, I thought "Metroid 2 RoS, Ancient Sewers." I know you have not done any M2:RoS, and the ancient sewers theme would be great.

[Nova]

Ancient Sewers? You mean Ruins?

I suppose. I plan on completely reworking SR388's main theme, and was once even working on the title theme at one point. I'll check it out... the tempo changes might cause problems though.

[Candy Man Criminal]

loooove <3
