Author Topic: Downpour - Song by Swholli (Now on Youtube)  (Read 1837 times)

Orchestra not your thing? Too bad. I made a song.

What is it? Well it's a mixture of sound effects and instruments, and set to the tune of a rainstorm. It's a short piece that only lasts roughly 2 minutes, and at times (even though I am the composer) I can feel the tempo is off and that parts are slightly rushed. Though maybe I'm over brown townyzing it. Perhaps Trash Man will school me (lol).

What it also is, is an attempt to convey my emotions through song, like a lot of composers tend to do. I took a crack at it. It's in the key of C and is 4/4 time, so nothing fancy, but it is only 50 BPM instead of the usual 120, so I slowed it down a tad. That's really all there is to say about this song other than feel free to give back feedback.

I don't claim any sort of musical prowess. Just really boredom that drove me here.

Double toast, just realized I posted this in off topic.

Oh well. If Badspot or any mod want's to move it to Creativity, feel free. Though this is also off topic as well, so I dunno.


I didn't feel anything while listening :(.

Though usually I prefer voices, voice>instrument any day.

I meant it more that I was conveying what I felt. You're just meant to listen. :D

I senced multiple emotions/feelings in this. What I senced was depression, boredom, pease, mild anger, and a tab touch of joy.
I do agree with you, at times the tempo falls off and it appears rushed a bit, but over all I like it.

I like it. Mind telling me what software you used? Fruity Loops I'm guessing.

Mixcraft actually. Though my "trail" is running out and I haven't "bought" it yet.

Thank you. Yes, those are pretty much the emotions I was feeling. Glad someone noticed.

He's a software pirate

Very true.

Also felt it was kind of artsy. Quite liked it.

Make it like, one of them art pieces where the mouth is where one of the eyes should be or something. That'd be artsyier.
