May as well start this bad boy up again 
Here is the guitar pro audio for a solo piano arrangement i devised a short time ago:
Watching From Afar
Draws influence from the japanese composer Kanno Yugo, and especially his composition āKoi e no Suiiā from the Da Capo OST

Sounds very good 
. Iām not familiar with Kanno Yugoās work, but this makes me think of āIn the City of Constant Rainā from Little Busters (the raining scene with Komari and the cat) 
I tried looking through some of my originals I tabbed out, but I donāt think I have anything that can follow yours, scarecrow 
haha. Maybe Iāll contribute another time 
Thanks! Yea it is quite sorrowful/ bittersweet, lots of minor chords and whatnot, and the theme behind it is quite melancholic as well 
Yea actually now that you mention it that little busters track may have been a subconscious influence in the piece haha, but i really like all of Keys OSTās with the likes of Jun Maeda and the rest being a huge influence on my musical taste. The other composer to note would be āMANYOā, the guy who did the OSTās for the Kara No Shoujo series, however he wasnāt an influence in this piece.
I believe Kanno Yugo did the OSTās for Psycho Pass and Ajin amongst other good titles.
No problems 
iāll look forward to hearing some stuff in the future
This piece is probably my most solid arrangement so far, i have lots of WIPās and some other finished solo stuff but they still feel rough around the edges 
Hey, normally donāt plug my non-contest songs, but I think this one turned out pretty good.
Like most of my compositions, I canāt help writing rhythmically distinct melodies for several instruments. Usually try to do at least three or more at the same time. I LOVE POLYPHONY!!! I always pay close attention to melodic timing in order to contrast parts where melodies line up and parts where they purposely donāt; and to contrasting melodic contours, so one melody rises while the other falls.
Does this song get a bit too difficult to follow each individual part? Is the main (flute) melody not clear with the other instruments? Exactly halfway through the audio, it switches to 7/4 time for the rest of the track. Does it sound smooth even in the irregular time sig?
It wasnāt originally going to be so high energy, but I was having fun with the punchy bassline and took it in a different, probably better, direction.
@scarecrowlol You have a soundcloud page? Pretty nice song.
The lead-in into that 7/4 switch @0:45 strikes out a bit (the bass), otherwise I think the instruments play nicely together. I guess the question would be, does the bass need to be that busy when everything slows down?
Almost same thing at @1:29, but not as much.
But this is coming from someone who canāt track bass at all 
I like it! Quite interesting but yea the bass kinda was throwing me off a bit, i think at the time signature change, or maybe just how aggressive it was in the mix?
No i donāt have a soundcloud 
Thanks! glad you like it 
Hereās four tracks Iāve made almost a year ago. Now I would have made a lot of things differently, but anyway, I think theyāll be better on Soundcloud that on my computer : https://soundcloud.com/florian-decros/sets/vgm-project
(BTW, at the ending of the last track, itās the same melody as the track I submitted for the second Original Tunes contest)
Well, if everyoneās plugging their original non-contest pieces, I may as well throw my hat in. 
This piece is my first āmajorā one, as in, the first I put a considerable amount of time, effort and love into. Overall I think it came out pretty well. Some things could be mixed better, the transition into the second āphaseā couldāve been handled better, and now that I think about it, most of the second phase just couldāve been done better over all, but Iām nonetheless happy with it as my first big composition.
Iād like to know what you guys think!
@Avaruussaha Thanks for listening! Yeah, I was thinking of changing the āslap bassā setting to something smoother during those parts or just making the notes quieter so it wouldnāt stick out as much. But after repeated listens my ears got used to it, even if itās a little too busy.
@floflo79 Really enjoyed āLove Trackā, very catchy and good percussion work. It actually sounds like it could be a fun ending/credits song to a NES game.
@Shrinx Glad you were able to piece together the 3 segments. It can be difficult to tie different parts together when you have a concept in mind with varying themes. But even if it didnāt turn out quite how you wanted, it seems like you made what you set out to and it turned out nice!
Well, when I finished it turned out exactly how I wanted. These are just some things I noticed down the line. I guess itās true what they say in how youāre your own worst critic. 
Iām glad you think it turned out good though, itās really reassuring to know Iām getting better at this!
Hereās a solo fingerstyle tab i made up one day just messing around and piecing together random riffs that had similar feels. Nothing amazing, just a tab i use to warm up or to just pass time, as its comprised of lots of chord progressions i really like and has quite a few time signature changes and odd chords. Itās mostly rhythm driven not really a defined melody: Resonance.gpx (31.9 KB)
Back again with another jazzy song
This one has been sitting around for a couple years after coming up with the initial guitar melody. Got back into it this week and Iām pretty happy with the final version. The song kinda explores a few different moods of jazz/blues, hence the title, but hopefully the transitions make the changing styles not so jarring.
Wow, great chord choices throughout! So soothing and mysterious.
