Favorite musical genre or style: Alternative Music and Heavy Metal
Favorite of my songs: Forgotten Journeys
Because:
It's really a catchy tune.
How he/she found my site:
Browsing for MIDI sites and yours popped up.
Compliments:
I was REALLY amazed that you composed all of this music. I was also shocked that you received so many awards for your compositions.
Criticism:
Away from original pieces, you should try to recreate some contemporary tunes from bands i.e. Green Day, Metallica, Harvey Danger, etc. You may find this really challenging, but you'll have a lot of fun with it. This will also attract attention to your site.
Comments:
This page is one of the best MIDI pages I've seen. Hey, keep in touch. I'd like to hear from you.

Maybe if you change your hair color and stop wearing GOTH clothing, you wouldn't seem as normal.
Comments:
Despite the rumours...I think your boxers with the POOH bears on them are cute. Maybe you should get the Tigger variety too? (Don't go JOE BOXER...too trendy)

Your midi home is a haven for all of us music lovers in search of a retreat from todays chaotic, uncharted, unthought about music. Your MIDI home is cozy, easy going, and friendly. Friends live here!

Learn to play that dernned "oboe"! :)
Comments:
I really wish with all of my heart that more kids-"oh, god" not the K word, would strive to become like you are, I hope they find inspiration, heart and soul in your sounds, and words, and grow like you into a gifted, talented entity. Our world of turmoil needs more precious souls like yours to keep the lights on, instead of burning them out!

Guest: Quietsiren    Age: 26
Country: USA    State or Province: MI
Email: quietsiren_@yahoo.com
Homepage: http://quietsiren.simplenet.com/lair/
Favorite musical genre or style: Classical and fantasy.
Favorite of my songs: Artemis' Hunt
Because:
I have a fascination with Artemis, and this particular song truly captures Artemis as the huntress; there is a physical movement, a stalking feel about the song; the melody changes up enough to break monotony; the song is relatively short, yet complex with layers of sound; beats are wonderfully timed; nice choice of instruments; I could actually go on, but I'll stop here. *grin*
How he/she found my site:
A friend lured me--he knows I'm a fan of Greek mythology, and that I'd be interested in hearing someone's interpretation of music done within that theme.
Compliments:
Since I was last here (a couple of months back I believe) you've done a redesign, which I must say is an improvement. *grin* Besides a pianist, I'm also a web page designer and graphic artist, so I tend to be picky about the way web pages look, and how web sites function. I think the layout you've chosen presents a more professional look. And I'm glad to see the addition of an "about me" page. Also, your "midi information" page is pretty informative. And, I'm glad to see the addition of this guestbook.
Criticism:
This is the web designer in me being nitpicky, but: the MouseOver tags need MouseOut tags to remove the description from my status bar. Lots of people forget MouseOuts, and I always harp on people about it. *grin* One more picky note: more people should link to you from their sites (you're already linked from mine). Have you considered creating (or having someone create) a small logo button or banner, that people can download and use as a visual link back to you? Feel free to email me about it.
Comments:
I was here a couple of months ago (I'm one of the people who sent mail about using your music *grin*--"Forgotten Journeys" is in the Temple of Aldane's main room, and "Artemis' Hunt" is in the "meet Quietsiren" section of the Lair); I'm here again because a friend of mine came to visit. I sat her down beside me at the computer, and I took her to your site (by the way, HER favorite is "Remembering the Melody"). She's as impressed with your music as I am--and we're both rather difficult to impress. *smile* I look forward to hearing more of your compositions in the future. Be well.

Favorite musical genre or style: Many
Favorite of my songs: Demeter's Journey
Because:/b>
Because I have always loved this piece. It is wonderful on the piano and also very beautiful in Midi.
How he/she found my site:
I wonder!
Compliments:
The fact that you did it and how much love you put into it and your music.
Criticism:
The music makes the pages open up VERY slowly and the music you do hear is often in fragments. I don't know if it can be fixed, but I thought you might want to know.
Comments:
You have done wonderfully for yourself and for others by sharing your music.

Favorite musical genre or style: Video Game, Celtic
Favorite of my songs: Forgotten Journeys
Because:
Compelling to hear and imagine. Simply spellbinding.
How he/she found my site:
I searched for original MIDI, found Miditrax, looked at the winners, and then found your home.
Compliments:
Great interface (if that's what you call it-- I'm a game designer),
especially the intuitive controls, neat animations, and the involved guestbook.
Criticism:
Get more pages to link to you. your site is like a flower that blooms unseen.
Comments:
Outstanding pieces! Keep up that composing!
I am really new to the Original MIDI arena, and I have recently joined the Midiots.
OK, so I'm not a hot-shot game designer from id, but I am pretty good at dreaming.
Currently, I am "borrowing" someone else's E-mail, but it is perfectly fine to mail me at this address.

Country: USA    State or Province: WI
Email: chopsdamassa@geocities.com
Homepage: http://chopsmidi.home.ml.org
Favorite musical genre or style: Orchestrated or Synth Melodic
Favorite of my songs: Remembering the Melody
Because:
It's hard to say why I like pieces...
There's something about it, the images that flash through my mind as I'm listening to it...
Very melodic and I often catch myself whistling it or humming it or even just thinking about it...
How he/she found my site:
Multiple Links across the internet
Compliments:
Very well organized and a nice summary of each piece...Multitudes of FF MIDIs, which is always good cuz FF MIDIs are excellent indeed. Personality is put into it, it's not just a mound of boring information than one would fall asleep reading.
Criticism:
I would say, maye make some of the text smaller cuz of my small 15" monitor, but other than that, keep up what you do, you do it well.
Comments:
Hmmm.... Pretty much everything to say has been said. You Music is quite excellent and has a perminent spot on my Hard Drive along with a perminent spot on my links section. I hope continue to make excellent music as you do now, and eventually reach your goal of writing for games...
Chops, signing off...

Favorite musical genre or style: Final Fantasy Music
Favorite of my songs: Remembering the Melody
Because:
It's just a lovely piece. I like how it's very relaxing, and it sounds so RPGish if that makes sense.
How he/she found my site:
I found it one day when searched on a searched engine for midi composers.
Compliments:
I like the original compositions. I especially loved the battle music, and Remembering the Melody. I hope you will compose more of those.
Criticism:
-
Comments:
Aaron, I think your page is great. You're such a nice guy and I hope your music will make it big someday(I'm pretty sure it will^_^). Just keep composing more originals. Maybe next time you can try a love theme, or another battle music. Well, I signed your guestbook. You did a great job on this! I can barely make a functional form for my fanime page....

Favorite musical genre or style: Instrumental
Favorite of my songs: ...I don't have a favorite
Because:
Each of the pieces expresses different feelings and emotions... I like the battle
theme, but at the same time, I like the dark sound of Dungeon, the mystical
sound of Forgotten Journeys... lots of them! Make a great CD :)

Email: mailto:Aaron@Midishack.net
Homepage: http://www.midishack.net
Favorite musical genre or style: Video Game Music - especially RPG
Favorite of my songs: Battle Music
Because:
To me, most like RPG music; It is fast-paced, yet also musically pleasing.
How he/she found my site:
Hmm... Well, I created it! I guess I found it with the help of a dream of mine; the dream to share what I love on the 'net!
Compliments:
I think it is organized, which is my biggest priority. I also think I have a good selection of original and game music. My site is not about having the biggest collection, but about quality, organization, information, and understanding. It also keeps me busy and learning tons of new stuff!
Criticism:
Hmm... Well, I should work on my tiny themesong section eventually. I also want to learn a lot more javascript to enhance my site. I'm always thinking of something new.
Comments:
I hope this guestbook form isn't too huge for everyone; feedback is important to me. Always remember you do not HAVE to write an essay! Thanks for coming and make yourselves at home!
