User-Created Music Sharing 🎵

Not Thrive
1

This is a thread where users can share music they themselves composed/remixed/covered/otherwise had a significant creative input in making. It has been made do to the lack of a thread that completely fulfilled the previously stated purpose.

This thread is similar to some other threads, the most notable of which have been listed below along with short descriptions of their purposes. Please make sure wether your post wouldn’t fit better in any of these threads before putting it here.

  1. Music Suggestion Thread - a thread where users can post suggestions of music they enjoy.
  2. The Thrive Stages Fan Music Thread - a thread where users can post suggestions of music they would like to hear in the game.
  3. Thrive Music Thread - basically a thread for Thrive OSTs and similar.
  4. Music Feedback - a thread where users can post their music with the specific intent of getting feedback.
  5. Fan music - a thread where users can post fan music they made for Thrive.
  6. Oliveriver’s gratuitous musical self-promotion - @Oliveriver’s thread where he posts his non-Thrive related music.

So, uh, I made this thing yesterday:

Hm, that’s an interesting opinion! I’m genuinely curious as to what in this music made you feel like it’s unnatural and soulless. Like if it’s something with the melodies and harmonies, the somewhat robotic sound of MuseScore’s samples, quite repetitive nature of the composition, or something else entirely.

to me, with the instruments it sounds like the creeper world 3 soundtrack! I personally don’t agree with nightvampalihan’s opinion, however I do have my fair bit of constructive criticism.
at around 1:05, there’s a little part of the song which feels out of place and out of pitch in a way (im not experienced with musical vocabulary so excuse any mistakes I make in that)? Then, at 1:08, past 1:10 to around the end of the song theres the frequent issue of what I described before.

I think the melody is good, though, and the song sounds good in the first minute without any of the aforementioned issue! I think if you change the mentioned (and unmentioned) parts that are the troublemakers, then it will be a very good peice of music :slight_smile:

This “issue” is an intentional artistic choice. What happens at ~1:05 could be described as the song switching into maqam Bayati, which is microtonal (more specifically, it has a half-flat second degree). It’s understandable that it may sound out of tune and mistaken to you, as that’s a pretty common experience for people not used to microtones (I myself wasn’t exactly a fan when I was first exposed to them). I guess the modal switch may also be quite jarring, as in the earlier part of the song there’s basically no foreshadowing of it.

I like this, I think it has a lot of potential! Here are some suggestions on what I think you could do to significantly benefit this piece:

  1. Progressive inclusion of more instruments and melodies over time, then everything calming down near the end.
  2. Bassy synths fading in and out throughout the course of the piece.

Also, I recommend you use external hosting services for sound files, rather than putting them directly on the forums.

Oh also it’s not on forums but on external website.
