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.

How he/she found my

add a spa and swimming pool. This way we can also enjoy your
water music...
Criticism:
Maybe if you change

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

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"! :)

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!

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 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 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.

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

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....

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 :)

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
