The Battle for Wesnoth Forums

Now THIS works much better! I think you should make the final chord last longer. It ends up to abruptly. I much prefer this new theme! That is a wise decision to sometimes put aside something that doesn't work. I worked quite a bit on the Main menu's music. I re-orchestrated it and added a new theme...

Plus, most of the time I just hit End Scenario when I die, so I usually never hear the end of the defeat track, and i'm sure it's probably the same for everyone else, unless it was an epic battle and I check the stats. Yeah, but you can't really think like that. The music has to be perfect from sta...

I agree with Rain. Even though you changed the picardy third, you still finish the music with a suspensive chord. I still don't get the feeling of defeat.

Bingo!

And have a look at Wojciech Kilar's music to Dracula.

About the repeating part, is was talking about the main theme. The "waltz" theme. I wasn't considering it really as a theme, more like the skeleton of the whole composition...but if taken as a theme, it is perhaps stated too many times. What's problematic is that I fear it's difficult to ...

But, its just one point of view.

I think its pretty good overall. What disturbs me most is that you have a main theme that loops way too much. It gets very annoying after a while. It gives an impression of "background music". And music should not be like this... Even though it is for a video game, you should be able to li...

Yes, same for me, i will do a more profound analysis. I didn't quite have the time myself as well.

Aleksi.

Are VSL much better than Eastwest (I know they are much BIGGER :-p) Bigger, and more expensive. But way, wayyyyy better! I can barely listen to my EW collection sounds anymore... VSL sounds have a lot of body to them, a very real touch and amazing legato. But, it is harder to mix and you've got to ...

I'm not saying that you have to take this middle part out, its just that i comes up very surprisingly. A good transition would be more appropriated. But then, its your music, so your call! ;) As for the opening Menu music, its funny that you are mentioning it. I was just about to reveal a new versio...

Hello,

Its pretty good so far. But i find the middle part strange, you change atmosphere so fast. It seems like its just another music glued to it. I would work on that, what do you think?

Aleksi.

In fact I try to avoid a "pop-music" structure when composing orchestral pieces, retaining a more classical variations-on-theme form, but the first could be what works better in Wesnoth. Anyway, what's the music needed in the game? I'll do a better job if I know before where the music cou...

New day, new music :) Perhaps i should have modified the other music, but I was inspirated today too, so I composed a different piece. I don't know where it could be used, perhaps a part of it can be used in a particular situation. I think its good to have many ideas, but its even better to stick w...

It think it works pretty good, but i would like to hear a more consistent piece. Its still a bit "light" in my opinion... When you lose a battle, you lose most of your men, its supposed to be heavy and hard to live. I don't quite get this feeling with this music yet. Aleksi. *Not too many ...

Hello and benvenuto! Its pretty good overall. But, i have some critics to make towards the orchestration. There are too many parallel octaves in the strings at the beginning. It gives a very poor sound and balance to the intro... Second thing, it seems like you don't really know where you are going....
