I am not sure why it seems no one's music is getting the level of downloads and votes now that you and other HoF composers once got. Maybe the popularity of building has waned, or maybe people are just not playing NWN/NWN2 as much as when they came out. I also wonder if the fact that there is no Sounds category under NWN2 Files, only under NWN cuts down on our traffic.
Regarding your compositions, keep up the great work - I'm sure you will have a successful career in music if you continue to pursue it.

Thanks for the comment and the Vote! Music doesn't seem to be taken very seriously on the vault, and it is great to know that there are people who still acknowledge it.
There was not intended to be a melody between 1:12 and 1:32, that is where the buildup begins. In my years of study, I have learned that things don't always have to be melodic, or even necessarily tonal.
As for the contrast within the piece... thats always been a problem with my writing. I have a hard time just writing music that will only be background that most players will likely turn off. The majority of the stuff I work on has a specific purpose, or was for a specific module or movie. I never wrote the music for the builders, it is mainly for posterity and personal progress. Most of the music was written for one thing, and it generally was the only thing it was or ever will be used for. _________________________ Snafe Composed: What is a game without music?

Snafe - I like this one a lot - the piano sounds really nice with that reverb on it. Also, it would be great in-game music, except that it might be hard to use because of the range of contrast within the piece. Builder's might prefer to use either before or after about 1:32 but not both for the same purpose. One other minor comment - from about 1:12 to 1:32 I don't really hear a melody, but maybe it is hidden in there or maybe you just wanted some space before the big climax. Keep up the great work! _________________________ Ninja School -- a short NWN training and adventure module for young players. Missing Persons -- a short single-player NWN adventure for levels 4-5.
