I have just updated the post - up to 13 themes now!!!

This original piano piece has very simple chords and melody, with the goal to create a soft, intimate and peaceful mood. Yet also with some underlying uplifting feeling and emotion. Simple, with 'stirring' quality if you know what I mean. Hope I achieved that. Let me know. 2019: This is an improvisation I made in 2019, recording live into my DAW without following the DAW metronome. So I had it in midi but measures do not follow a metronome beat. I couldn't record to a metronome anyway because there is much intentional rubato in this piece. 2026: Now I wanted to use a better piano sound and that was easy- just play the midi file with a good piano vst. The piano you hear is the UVI Model D Piano vst playing the original midi file I improvised in 2019 (with some minor note improvements) However what was not easy is creating the score! Which requires quantized notes. So I had a lot of work remaking every measure to have midi notes quantized, not for playing, but for the score. So the score does not play the piano but does show the accurate notes of the midi file that is playing the piano.

Things added - drums- riser at start- bass near end part- added instruments for beat drop- anyway, here it is:

this piece was composed with me hearing absolotly nothing while in the making of it, I wanted to see how well can I make pieces like that. yipieeee.mp3 wadanada.pdf

I made these 13 mock-ups on 13 themes from Final Fantasy VI intending to use them to familiarize myself with the themes in preparation for writing a big variations piece based on them. At first, I only intended to write variations on the "Returner's Theme" but it soon ballooned out of control as I noticed how many of the themes in the game are inter-related thematically and so I had to include more. I am posting the themes here with PDF scores for your perusal in the order in which they appear in the game (but I group them according to theme groups that are most related to each other). Also, here are the links to the original tracks on YouTube: Omen 3 - This is the title screen version of Terra's Theme. Terra's Theme - Terra is the main protagonist in the game. A half magical being (esper) half human. The empire takes advantage of her magical powers. The Awakening - also based on Terra's Theme, this music plays when Terra awakens after getting her slave crown removed. Disaster/Metamorphosis - this is also based on Terra's Theme. It plays when there's a disaster and Terra transforms into her esper form. Save Them!/Protect the Espers! - this is also based on Terra's Theme. Plays during an escape sequence or when fighting the Empire's soldiers as they try to gain access to the espers. Fight Theme Troops March On - this is the first theme in the Empire's Theme group. Plays when Kefka and his soldiers are marching towards Figaro Castle. Martial Law - plays in town when the empire occupies it. The Gestahl Empire - final theme in the Empire's Theme group. Plays when the Imperial capitol of Vector is set on fire by the espers. Kefka's Theme - Kefka is the evil antagonist who overthrows the emperor to gain ultimate power and lead the world into ruin. Mt. Kolts Returner's March - The Returner's are an organization that is trying to resist the evil empire and Kefka and Emperor Gestahl. Magitec Factory - In the Imperial capitol of Vector, the empire has constructed a factory to create Magitec armor granting magic power to those wielding it. To go to the thread where I wrote my own original music based on these themes go here:

So very Nice to see even Admin, contribute Content, with such a High Degree of Contemporary Quality.

since I post a lot of songs that aren't relevant to each other, I made a whole thread instead.

Good for you! I'm too embarrassed to share my earlier works lol

Thanks for the comment! I’m sure there could be plenty of changes to do, however, this work was one of my earlier attempts at writing for the orchestra. A time before I got any composition feedback from any mentors. I thankfully won a competition and spent a week working with composer Robert Bradshaw. During that time, he gave me tips on voicing, orchestration, and understanding tessitura. My rewrite was not to completely redo the work but polish it with the new information and techniques I learned. So, while I appreciate the feedback, I will not be rewriting certain spots in the work as I still want to keep it as is to show my growth overtime.

A very short thought, or a bubble. A fleeting moment. Built around a Csus2/F# to Cmaj9(add13). That's it. Just a moment. Just this evening. Love me some lydian and b9 and #7 sounds. Acoustic guitar, DADGAD capo 7. 🔹 Quarter-to.mp3

@therealAJGS WOW! What an improvement! It is night and day. I have no comments on the music as again, I do not know much on what is meant to accompany, but it definitely conveys something dire or thrilling. As a point of enjoyment, I must say there feels like too much distortion in the file. Just about 30 seconds worth of a blurriness that is very overwhelming compared to the literal music. For me, it took my attention away... especially with headphones 😓

kinda ambient.

thought I was going for a dark song; guess I was wrong.

I tried

making a second version soon!

it sounds like the background music of old PS2 games and brings me back to early 2000s. It sounds playful and fresh. I'm looking forward to hear the full finished track

I've added another theme to the bunch for a total of 9 themes I'm working with.
