I got bored one night and took a random game's theme that totally wouldn't fit a modern style and "touched it up"...and yes, it's meant to be a joke.

Unfortunately, them elvish folk hold dearly to their beloved magic music. O_O


Before: (first 20 seconds or so)

    So I was foolin' around on the keyboard with the exorcist theme song (I've always found it intriguing!) and I kept adding to it more and more and so far I'm up to this XD Not finished though.

    (youtube craps out audio quality, beware)

    So, the real question is....while people play beautiful music on the piano, why does exorcist come to my head to doodle with? o-o

    Anime music is often hard to follow, but it's a fun challenge. Sure, send any files you have over to lkinglking@hotmail.com and I'll take a look when I can :)

    Really?

    Mostly because they tend to not use the more canonical US chords and like to throw in dissonance? Or is it just the weird beats they like/ multiple instruments?

    Just trying to understand your thinking.

    Mostly because a lot of their melodies aren't truly connected to the next and the music becomes very random. Sometimes it's effective, sometimes not, but it's difficult to see where the song is leading to, so you quite literally have to take it one small part at a time. I play by ear nearly 100%, so when a song style doesn't follow patterns and are broken in multiple places, it's hard to follow.

    I'm not saying that style is wrong, but it's just difficult to follow, is all.

    I've pm'ed you some links to my personal webspace where i uploaded the mp3's. My email client was nagging about size limits.

    Good luck with these :)

    EDIT: might want to edit out your email address to keep the spam fairies away.

    So, am I the only one that came in here expecting DF tales?

    Not that the music is bad or anything, just I was expecting tales of Elves destroying forts after you cut down to many trees.

    That has never happened and will never happen and any examples you might cite to the contrary just show how undwarfy you are, <i>elf.</i>

    Sorry. I mean western (i.e. European, and by permeation US) chordal progressions and structure are different than the underlying sounds of most Eastern cultures. It's what makes Oriental music sound a bit more Oriental.

    Granted, humans all naturally have a similar sense of music, i.e. pentatonics seems to be almost genetically hardcoded. But Bach and Chopin have a different application of sounds, chord composition, and scales than Asiatic artists. So, someone who's grown up only on Western styles may have a bit of extra trouble matching the Oriental chords to the keyboard. But it's doable.

    See Mario music.

    Golf address

    On address, both from the arms are extended straight. <a href="http://www.drgolfstore.com/goods-488-Titleist+AP2+Irons.html" target="_blank">titleist ap2</a> The correct hand is at the bottom part of your grip on the club, and your entire left hand is at the top part of the grip. If the ball is too close you will be forced to bend your entire arms. If the balls is as well far away you is going to be able to tell, Ishiner because it's going to feel just for instance you are uncomfortably reaching for the ball. <a href="http://www.drgolfstore.com/goods-488-Titleist+AP2+Irons.html" target="_blank">ap2 irons</a> Make certain you flex at the knees to bring the club behind the ball, and maintain the arms extended straight.
