Oh yes, I remember those ticks, annoying like hell indeed!

To me, the concept of 'creation' comes first. Later on, 'creation' can be split-up into composition and sound-size. For me, size does matter, perhaps not for a puzzlegame, but for an RPG of epic proportions you really don't want chiptunes

No, not in this era, I see.

Although I think, speaking of Ys, that there's been done a good job, using the limitations of the PSG.
Like merging the baseline and snaredrum in the same channel. This pattern must look familiar:

B_BBS_BBB_BBS_BBB_BBS and so on

Well, I know what you mean, but with "influence" I was referring mostly to musical instead of technical aspect.

BTW, I wonder what tunes you made for RoA. Long time since I heard some music by your hand.

Fragment-based compositions, much wood/brass, harpsichord, dark spooky sounds, strings, intimate rhodes, big acoustics etc. Big music and small music, dark and bright, all tailormade for the location they're used for.. For the moment it's a mix of Vangelis' Voices and 1492, the PC-game Diablo2, and a couple o' movies.

With fragment-based I mean that there's a lot of elements in 1 tune, so it's not 16 patterns here for an 'A' part, 16 patterns there for a 'B' part, and then some repetitions of A and B etc. In some tunes each pattern is new, while there *is* a memorable theme that's easy to pick-up.

Anyway, you'll hear it when the game's out (or perhaps earlier!)

I express my self in music

if i'm pissed i make Hardcore
if i'm happy i make Trance,melodic trance
if i'm sad i make emotional music by using strings,piano
if i'm in love i make sweet chillout music
if i'm Psyco i make goatrance and psytrance
if i'm Lazzy i remix songs.......

Music Creating....... its all in the mood

And Yes MSX is a wonderfull machine to compose

MSXTC

I learned a lot from disecting MSX music, especially the more complex songs in Snatcher/SD-Snatcher, the easy-going music in say Dragonslayer VI and the pure melodic 'carrier' in most 80s Konami and Falcom music. So I can't say I am influenced in my compositions by MSX Music per se (you won't hear any existing song in my own songs), but I did learn a lot from MSX Music.

My list would look a bit different btw

If I'm happy I make whatever I feel like making
If I'm in love I write piano ballads
If I'm sad I don't make music at all
If I'm without inspiration I make arrangements (and get inspiration that way)
If I'm lazy I'd make Trance or Dance music
If I'm overestimating myself I write epic orchestral soundtracks
If I'm practically braindead I would make hardcore or metal

Yes, metal is very braindead music. Any child or idiot could make it. o_O

The same holds for trance (repeat-repeat-repeat-repeat-add extra tjikkaboom-repeat-etc) and ballads (piano, simple chord scheme, violin pad, prego)

If I'm happy I compose all kinds of weird tunes,
If I'm in love I have better things to do than compose music,
If I'm lazy, I just watch some telly, *hihihi*

Hehehe.

..sounds like the sad-letter tune from Fray to me

That must be one of the first things I ever arranged.

It's in Xak 1 and Xak 2 too, by the way.

I wouldn't say so, and I know you wouldn't either... Unless MrRudi thinks Limb Biskit and Korn are metal ofcourse...

Got tons of examples to prove that metal can consist of very complex musical structures.

Iron Maiden|Blood Brothers
Iron Maiden|Sign Of The Cross
Iron Maiden... need I say more?
