Been awhile since I posted on these boards, but Mioroa: I swear by the "Claymore" (Norihiro Yagi) series -- both anime AND manga (the latter of which is still ongoing, btw!). Fun, gritty, riveting dark medieval fantasy series. Hee hee, I've even taken it upon myself to compose my own score for...

-I turned 24 last summer. -I like many types of music...sheesh, if I had to list them all... Anyway, if you asked me that in high school, I would've likely been like, "'METAL!' \m/*headbanging*\m/ 'METALLICA, PANTERA, SLAYER!' etc., etc.," and although I still enjoy metal (it's just freakin' fun...

Thanks to all who have replied to this. It seems that time does have a way of spreading a sort of "healing balm" on things, so to speak. Sci-Fi, she was my first real love, and I loved her intensely. I was certain beyond all certainty that she was the woman of my dreams! Apparently not. :\ Now...

Sorry about that. I figured there might be negative reactions to this, but I didn't mean to inflict the damage done.

Okay...I know I am a bit eccentric. I know I've messaged a few people here and tried to give them personal, one-on-one support. That may or may not come off as weird or awkward to some; it isn't to me. I am merely helping out in the best way I know how. Anyway, here's my point: I try not to...

Hmmm... In 2005, I started playing the piano, and the second piece I learned (after "Watermark," by Enya) was "Moonlight" by Beethoven. That's a somber piece, but I find it relaxing. But I believe that the most touching and lovely piece -- the piece that will guarantee tears at some point or...

edgecrusher, you made my day! Check this out! archetpye by fear factory - EPIC LIKE! "Drones is another favorite;" that intro is sick! pull me under by dream theater - haven't heard, but heard of the band fade to black by metallica - EPIC FREAKIN;-LIKE! 46 & 2 by tool - Like holy wars... the...

So there are absolutely no other people here that are afflicted with depression (clinical)/bipolar/shizo/etc.?

O...M...G...! These are incredible! As Sci-Fi pointed out, they seem to have an anime-esque quality. Some of them almost make me think of the artwork by Norihiro Yagi (Claymore). Two enthusiastic thumbs up, and I mean it!

I am thinking about how lovely and moving the piece, "Prelude in G" (a.k.a., "Air on a G String," or "Air on G") is... J.S. Bach composed it for strings...if there is any classical/baroque instrumental piece that is more touching to me, it's gotta be that one (one other being "Moonlight," the...

I browse a lot, but post little. I read many, many posts and threads describing such feelings as depression... I will boldly admit that I am afflicted with bipolar disorder and several other mental/neurological illnesses. I wonder if anyone else is acqainted with any of those things, and would...

Hello, QuesT, and welcome.

Well, I started composing orchestral music toward the end of 2004. I continued to develop and hone those skills over the subsequent years through personal study and academic education (the latter, I am now fully involved in). In 2008, I was introduced to East West/Quantum Leap's orchestral...

Here's the next piece I've composed. I really don't know why I put them on two different sites. *shrugs* Meh. Anyway, in this piece, I used the same sequencer, plugins, mastering/EQ/mixdown settings, etc., but also included in this mix was a patch from yet another one of East West/Quantum Leap's...

Hey! A reply! I thought this thread was going to die.. And thank you. The people here all seem to be so warm and welcoming. For all the meaning that the title of this forum suggests, I have hardly felt lonely all day. Thanks again.
