Hey there. I'm a self-taught musician who likes to compose now and then, so I thought I'd share a handful of tracks. Most of my work is piano oriented, but if you happen to find a use for it feel free to download.

A link to all of my work can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/alcaknight

I also keep this thread updated now and then, so check the recent replies for my latest work.

Piano/Cello Duet - Faraway

Piano/Cello Duet - Familiar Warmth

Piano Solo - Lorelei

Piano Solo - Autumn Sorrow

Piano Solo - A Sea of Dreams

Here's a link to my soundcloud page, feel free to download anything that's CC-BY

Thanks, I appreciate it.

Also here's another track if anyone's interested. Instead of playing it live I scored it though, so I'm not sure if it came off sounding slightly robotic: https://soundcloud.com/alcaknight/peaceful-days

Oh my gosh, your music's amazing:) I'll definitely be using them. Thanks so much for making them CC! Faraway, Lorelei, and Solitude are my favorites.

Thanks, that's kind of you to say, I appreciate it.

Here's another solo piano piece too. It was mainly improvised but I don't think it turned out too badly: https://soundcloud.com/alcaknight/piano ... less-night

Wow! These are amazing. I was listening to these and came up with at least a dozen different places I can use most of them in a game I'm planning. Thanks for making these available for us!

Thanks, it's no problem, I'm glad you find it useful.

Also here's an update. I wanted to make something more upbeat than usual. It's should also be loopable, if anyone finds that helpful.

Otherwise here's a version without the loop: https://soundcloud.com/alcaknight/evening-waltz-1

Cool! This is totally a must need, It really sounds like it came originally from a visual novel, and it's free, thank you for sharing your beautiful talent with us.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I'm glad if anyone can find it useful.

Also here's a small update. Not much but I made a music box arrangement of Bach's prelude from BWV 857. I transcribed and arranged it from scratch so there's nothing to worry about in terms of copyright or anything. Not sure how it could be used, but it's quite a beautiful tune, here it is: https://soundcloud.com/alcaknight/prelu ... -music-box

No problem, that's what they're there for.

Also I just read through your VN, really great work by the way. I enjoyed playing it.

Here's another update, this time another solo piano piece. There's a bit of a Joe Hisaishi influence with this one because I used a similar falling chord progression to One Summer's Day, but hopefully it's not too similar.
