This Isn't Music (or is it?)

[thisisntnoah]

I started making (non-improvisational) music when AH announced the Homestuck Music Contest. I didn't win. That's cool, though, because I made some first drafts for cool songs that I'll improve now that I don't have a deadline. I need to learn about production. Some of my music is Homestuck related. Some isn't. And, since I'm working on a bunch of songs, I figured I'd make a thread.

It's a good start, that's for sure. What are you looking to get out of this thread? Critiques? Suggestions?

Critiques and suggestions are cool. Especially if anyone has good resources to read up on (particularly in production/mixing/mastering). Compliments are nice, too. I'm always looking to improve, so as long as someone isn't rude and lets me know where there are flaws rather than just saying it sucks, I'll be happy. Also, when I finish any of these tracks, I might post download links, but they're not done yet.

Bunp, still working on this song; Chip City/Alabaster. That's a way newer version. Pitch is messed up in some spots, and it still needs to be ironed out and mixed.

Alright so I reworked the beginning and now it's different. Edited the link in this post.

I started two new songs! Still working on the other ones here and there.

What We Do Started this one last night. I'm gonna add more instruments and fix the transitions, but I think it's a good start.

Six Months Yesterday was the six month anniversary of my sister's suicide, so I figured I'd make a song in her memory. I also just started this, so it's nowhere near done.

Comments?

I started a new track, currently titled Cryptkeeper.

Here’s a first passthrough. Might add more instruments. Will tweak everything when I get some space from it. some things still nag.

Haven’t mixed nor mastered it.

Also, it cuts off but that is the last note.

Nick Smalley (On Guitar) sent me a chiptune to play around with, and I started a juggalo strife theme.

It's a work in progress, but I hope you like it so far.

I'm almost done with a new track. While this one is mostly done by myself, it is built around a few second sample one of my roommates made but didn't know what to do with. Still working on the other ones I haven't finished, but I migrated computers so I have to get some stuff coordinated before I can finish those. I also bought a condo last month, so I haven't had too much time to work on music.

Edit: Here is an almost final version; just need to mix and master it!

The juggalos have taken over. One man stands in their way.
