I found all 5 tracks incredibly annoying!

Remix coming shortly.

Really? This is good news, because I used to suck ass
at melodinizing. Now I have a pretty good technique that
compensates for my pathetic pitch perception. It is still
somewhat hard to take a loop like this and extend it beyond
the loop (however my brain can do that in real time very
easily; just can't transfer to tracker data too well).
Marlowe rules at this stuff.

Used same structure/technique on all: record a short wav of
me humming in note c. Then I can easily compare the
notes/melodies I imagine (hum) with hum.wav to find the
right ones. Maybe I make 2 channels of polyphony, only
things that I imagine and nothing else, beat included. Next,
I put an 'invisible' chord just to guide me on maybe every 8
rows or whatever increment sounds good. I just mute the
channels with these droning chords and instead make a more
catchy beaty additional backbone melody out of the chord
notes on top of everything.

Also I have limited my imagination/learning to white piano
keys only, but for these loops I just lowered/rose all the
notes to whatever sounded best afterward so some aren't c
major anymore.

I like your technique of humming the melody and going over
it with the instrument. I may have to try that sometime.

here is my god awful remix.

:DDD
Should I listen to it now, or milk all the anticipation
possible out of it and listen to it like a year from now? By
then I will be insane with impatience, always wondering
wondering wondering what it sounds like every second of
every day, and finally when the year is up, trembling to
click the link like stimpy pushing the history eraser
button.

Wow, that was absolutely 300% beautiful! ( I couldn't wait )
Thanks man, I owe you my life.

I think you should wait this one out. It will increase the
letdown you feel when you finally listen to it, possibly to
the point of suicide.

I got some fried burritos and chinese food at the store
today. It was awesome. I saw this thing with 2 eyes behind
the counter and I was like 'are you a human' and she was
like '... yes' and I was like '... am I a human'. But just
then I realized I was looking in a mirror. I looked down at
my 'burritos and chinese food' and saw that it was a comb
that I had covered with toothpaste. Apparently I acted out
some false hallucination of the whole thing. Now I must
charge my brain with rapid eye movement.

I like them so I made a remix too, all sampled from your
songs except the synth snippet in the end..

Actually timbre is very important- good point, I just can't
currently make something sound good using it. Check out
diddy kong racing music:
LAZY_TITLE
(or check his other similar videos for different tracks)

100% delightful- as good as sonic music! And great
use of timbre with different instruments coming and going,
much better than mine.

Thank you for the remix cx, I now owe you my life too. Since
I only have 1 life and owe it to two people in this thread
alone, I am in serious debt. I definately vow to repay you
and wolfslice back eventually; I will just have to dwell in
the forest for awhile feasting on unicorn blood and souls
until I get enough metachlorian currency.

I made another that is a little longer and I quite like it:
LAZY_TITLE

Here's the main intended lyrics:

I like to eat penises. YES I DO.
I like to eat penises. YES I DO.
I like to eat penises. YES I DO.
I like to eat peniseeeeeeeeees.

I like to eat penises, yes I really do.
I like to eat penises, me and you.
I like to eat penises, yes I really do.
I like to eat penises, me and you.

(the bass notes):
I like to eat penises. I like to eat penises.
I like to eat penises. I like to eat penises.
I like to eat penises. I like to eat penises.
I like to eat penises. I like to eat penises.

Nah I rarely swear, yeah I imagined an old NES game while
listening because even the composition sounded like an 8Bit
game. This pixel character from the game had a black shirt
and also black hair, eyes and shoes, both his pants and skin
used the same palette color making it appear he didn't have
any pants on! He stamped uppercut punchs left and right to
crack whores and pimps.

I know that site I downloaded some Saturn and SNES mid
files from some games, I remixed some tracks like F-Zero ost
on Fruity Loops, by remix I mean loading vst's with custom
patchs lols.
