Comments:
Well, that was pitching to look like nothing, but then I moved the logo to
the left of the screen, and put in the song info, and it came out quite
well, I think.
So. This song. I just got the Parasite Eve soundtrack a few days ago, and
have grown very fond of it. I especially liked this track (though it's not
my favourite), and thought it would be quite easy to do a nice remix of
it. And it was.
I hope you like it. I was going to do more with it (add more melodies for
one thing) but I didn't (as you can tell). Maybe I'll do a better version
some time, as this one is a bit repetitive.
===========================================================================
Samples:
With the exception of the piano, all of the samples were made by me.
Each was recorded (by me) from either a Proteus or Korg sound module, and
then tuned, looped and shortened by me. It took a lot of time and effort,
so be sure to credit me if you use any of them.
The piano was ripped from a song by melvyl, but I can't remember which
one. Anyway, he credited astrotek in it, so I'm doing the same.
===========================================================================
Greets:
No special greets; I'll just quickly thank Alex, SHattY, Megan, skyline,
melvyl, MiraiTrunks, EmperorM, JChance, M_Walker, Virt, jrn[ssa],
Holophonic, and anyone who listens to my music.
===========================================================================
Miscellaneous:
As always, I will begin with my RPG. I can't be bothered writing about how
original it will be, and how unlike all other RPGs you have played it will
be, so I'll cut to the chase. I have included a script of a scene from the
game (with an introduction and on-line narration so you know who's who and
what is happening), which you can save as a text file and view with a
program such as MS-DOS Edit or Notepad. So, all you need to do (in Impulse
Tracker) is press F3, highlight sample 56 and press Alt-W. If this doesn't
work, press F12 and set a directory for it to save to. If it still doesn't
work, then e-mail me. I'll just send you the .txt file. If you like what
you read in the script, and think you would make a good contribution to
the team, then e-mail me, and I'll give you the URL of the project's
website where you can see stuff (scripts, ideas, design sketches) as they
are completed. I need help with just about anything (music, graphics,
programming, anything else you can think of), so don't hesitate. Also, if
you simply like the script, but don't think you can help, e-mail me
anyway. You'll get a reply, and if you ask nicely, I might give you the
website's URL.
Next, Blood of the Rose. It is an online novel being written by Megan
Crewe. On the site you can read the story, submit fan art, fan music, fan
anything. Also, you can find music that I have composed for the story on
the site, and can order the soundtrack CD. I recommend you at least take a
look:
http://www.crosswinds.net/~bloodoftherose
Plus, HeLLVeN's music disk "Living in Spring" has been released. This is
the disk for which I composed "Above the Trees v2." Also, the next music
disk has begun production. It is called "Urbanisation," and is music with
an urban theme. For more information on the disk, go to:
http://hellven.traxinspace.com
However, seeing as melvyl accepted the idea before I even fully told him
the style of music present on the disk, you should download my song
"Courage Under Fire" from Trax in Space and read the song message. You
should download that song anyway. By the way, you can download the songs
from Living in Spring at the aforementioned address as well.
And finally a plea for you to visit my Trax in Space account, and publicly
review some tunes, just to get my morale (and, I believe, my rank) up.
That's all for now.
G'bye. E-mail me. For any reason. You'll get a reply.

Spent twenty minutes or so fixing up various things in the tune, using
Impulse Tracker the whole time. I'm getting better at using it now, but I
still think that tracking the first versions of my tunes in Fast Tracker
is the best.
