[Z♪assan Workshop] Composing music for your stories

[Nellie]

Just to join in the party - Zia is the best (and fastest!) composer I've worked with... Hurry guys, don't miss this chance =P

[MaiMai]

Hm, I'll bite. I just listened to your tracks and they're quite lovely!

I would like to request a music box track that matches the mood of this picture.

Something melancholy, but mysterious, with an air of magic that is constantly hovering everywhere. There could be a hint of sorrow too, the kind that comes with a grown adult who has been through a lot of trying and emotional times. I hope that helps? The title I'm thinking of is "The Emerald Witch" since this would basically be the theme for my character Amelia Steinbeck

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OFQHEy5TDw this is the kind of mood I would like to hear, but feel free to make up what you see from the picture and the words I wrote!

[wakagana]

Heya, I sent you a PM, I hope I don't add to your list to much, I look forward to working with you. =)

If you still are in the mood, I'd love to make a request! I listened to your samples. I have a real fondness for piano music, and yours is really good! I don't have any music for my project yet, and this seems like a "too-good-to-be-true" opportunity!

I need some piano music that goes along with the theme and characters of my game, so I could get away with using it a LOT- something lonely and a little sad, a tune for characters who have no idea where they are going in life and feel abandoned, that nothing has gone the way they planned.

I'll tell you a bit about the plot to see if that helps- the main character's brother has vanished, it's been over a month and she has not heard from him. He supposedly was going out to a party, and never came back. Unfortunately, while he was gone he did not pay any of the bills or rent and the MC gets evicted from the apartment and finds themselves living on the street. She struggles to continue school, to find work, and to search for her brother- but tries to keep her situation a secret. She is unsure if she has been abandoned, or if something bad has happened...

Anyway, if you don't have time- I definitely wont be offended! Thanks for reading!~

[Ziassan]

If it's for music, I always have the time (or at least pretend to-).
I took note of your request, if you plan to use it a lot, I guess it'd be long enough and not too repetitve. Since I have others request to finish actually, I'd only work the next week on your track, is that in your deadline ?

As info, also, Azurextwilight song and Kirroha piano request are really near to completion.

[Wootmuffin]

Take your time! I have no problem with waiting.
I still have a LOT of art to work on (It's a solo project, and my first...) so I'm not going to be done anytime soon either. But it's a project I'm pretty passionate about, so I'm absolutely sure I'll complete it!

I like what you're offering in this thread. Thank you Ziassan!

This is a bookmark to find this thread in the future easier.

[Ziassan]

Thanks, but caution ! this thead is only for the summer holidays, I have not that much free time during the year ahah.

Btw azureXtwilight request is done (still to be titled) : http://soundcloud.com/ziassan/thank-you

[Sharm]

Could I have a song that sounds like weather and implies a mystery?

[Ziassan]

Making a song sounds "mystery" is simple enough, altough "like weather" is a bit more elusive.
The more a word can evoke different feels to different people, greater is the possibilty to end with a song which is not what the writer wanted - so if you're alright with that, not a problem, but I think it'd be better to explain a bit more the "like weather" part which is easily interpretable in different ways (in PM if you want).

[jeje]

Can I have a song? A theme song that would fit with this type of game?
Uhm, while it's just a dating sim flash game (that usually have light story and all), I want to make this game to have a "dark, sad" feeling. If you could?
I don't have any deadline, since it's due in January.

* Special request I just got by PM, to "feat" You belong to me with music box, done > https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2379296/You_Be ... iassan.ogg

jeje > Of course, good idea to put some contrast in your game - I'll note your request when I'll be finished with the ones of this month.

[jeje]

Thank you! I think I'm gonna ask someone to make a movie opening for the game that would fit your music ^^
