This one caught my eye since I had also "written" (or rather arranged) a piece with a similar name, heh.

I quite enjoyed the contemplative intro, but the piece kind of takes stylistic turns that I wouldn't necessarily find agreeable, heh. The orchestration changes are kind of abrupt too (some gradation in when instruments are added/removed would better the piece in my opinion); it has a sort of montage feel to it right now, for better or worse. But an interesting effort overall, for sure.

If you're file is under the maximum size, then the underlined part might be preventing it. I don't know if the overall quota is actually in place on this board, but it's something to keep in mind if you're sure your file is meeting the individual requirements as outlined in the first two sentences.

so i have to make a new thread?

[Nyu001]

My thread has more stuffs than yours. Try uploading something small and see if work?

You could also try sound cloud: http://soundcloud.com/

I am actually using 83.70 MB from Ichigo's and around the 90% of all that is located in my Thread, the rest is in the music game thread.

i already tried attaching smaller things... and they work. but this mp3 doesn't. it's smaller than the other ones i have attached before. Ahh... it's killing me!

oh well.. i decided to give Soundcloud a try (thanks to Nyu)

a little bit about this piece... i consider this piece to be a breakthrough in my understanding of music composition and it all starts from one note around 1:22. that one note changed everything for me.

i tried not to do too much with this piece because i don't want it to be too random, but at the same time i wanted to extend as much as i could.

hope you like it.

It's your total uploads on this whole forum, so making a new thread wouldn't help.

Also, please please don't use sound cloud. I can never get files on that site to play (The less people who use that site the better, in my opinion). I recommend tindeck instead.

[Ander]

ok... i hope this works.

again this piece i consider it to be quite a breakthrough in my music compostion understanding.

i hope you'll like it

It's a nice blend of styles. The transitions are good and it seems you're making good use of modulation. I like the variation in dynamics toward the end. The bass gets a little muddy at times (in my opinion), especially near the beginning. The tonic mashing near the end was just a wee bit grating, but I liked how you ended softly after that.

[Nyu001]

Interesting, it sounded sharper in that player. Downloaded sounds less sharp.

I like that you implemented more ideas in it than usual. I do see this probably took you more time than your other compositions. It was an interesting listen with the variety, though, the themes barely grabbed my attention. Maybe a re-listen tomorrow will change my mind (That tend to happen o_O).

By the way, I tried to upload it then I tried with another file and both of them failed to me too.

thanks. i initially wanted to do the same melody in different key signature... but as i mentioned that one note changed everything for me. i also had many ideas and it seemed like i had to keep on adding things to connet the ideas together.

i got rid of many ideas, and i'm quite nervous that i won't be able to use them. do you guys get that?

and yes this one did take me a while to finish.
