Oh wow... I really do have to say you did a fantastic job on it. I'm not really a critic when it comes to music, so I am not sure what to say on how you should improve it. But it did give me a warm fuzzy feeling when I did hear it... Reminds me a lot of Super Mario Galaxy. None the less, I really did enjoy it and I hope to hear it in the future installs of Tortured Planet. =)
Haha, it is a rare name, huh?Also, nice to see another Wesley here. =P
...oh, MAN. That is far and away my favorite track you've done so far. I was literally gasping as I listened to that. It's perfect for Spacewalk. In fact, I'd say that you did a considerably better job composing music for that zone than I did actually designing it. I'm positively ravenous for more.
I'm just a bit disorganized with that all at the moment. I have an .ogg and an .mp3 of each one, solely for the purpose that some things, such as the Audio Player on my website, can't use .ogg's. If you want, I can clean the silence off the end of them and reupload as .ogg's a little later.Oh, and I just noticed--why are some tracks in OGG and some in MP3? Shouldn't they all be OGG, for size concerns?
Kill me for saying this, but I think these tracks are much better then whatever SRB2 has.
Pffft, no. I like the Drowned Downtown track, but this stuff is pretty repetitive and amateurtish, and often lacking in any actual melody.
The standard SRB2 music is godlike in comparison.
What did you use to make them?
I think it should be analogous to the relationship between the current SRB2 music used for GCZ1 and GCZ2. GCZ1 should be a faster-paced, ambient tune, and GCZ2 should be an intense, ominous remix of that.So about Gritty Columns Zone Act 2.
I started making it and thought it was really awesome, and then realized it really stunk BAD so I started over. And I had the same problem, again. So I come to my my question. Should I make it an intense ominous sounding temple theme, or more of an ambient one, like Sandy Shrine in XSRB?
So Spirit Crusher, you see. SWZ is beautiful and you can't fight that. But I think it's SZ, not SWZ... Ah, nevermind...All I have to say about SWZ is that it's beautiful.

The music is perfectly appropriate. The tune he made was more or less how I envisioned Spacewalk's music should sound all along. I sometimes imagined that it would be good with the Space Junk Galaxy music myself, so it could not be more fitting that that served as Charybdizs's inspiration. I chose DSZ's tracks because they were the closest official SRB2 tunes to the effect I really wanted. I also think DSZ's music was a good fit...but this is a better fit. And I think Charybdizs is planning some faster-paced tunes as well; he just hasn't made any of them yet.Uh... Charybdizs... I agree with daiches99, the Spacewalk song isn't too good for a lonely space station. Until now all fast-rythym (is it right?) songs there are in TP are from Eruption Conduit. Maybe you should make it more... hum... I dunno, but not too slow. I still think DSZ's songs fit well with it. You could make remixes :D
Lately I've actually been using SWZ too--check my more recent posts. But I'm quite fine with both; as far as I'm concerned, SZ and SWZ are equally valid abbreviations, just like you said.The abbreviation is whatever you want it to be. I use SWZ, Fawfulfan uses SZ. The Wiki uses SWZ because I made the articles and nobody changed that since then.So why do I have to explain this to you?
All I have to say about SWZ is that it's beautiful. There are clear similarities between some Mario Galaxy pieces and this one. The only thing is I don't like the instrument used for the pitch bend a few seconds in, can you change that? Maybe to a piano or just something different just beacuse it sounds odd.
The way I see it, most Act 1 songs are more laid-back, and the Act 2 songs are more of a faster, more groovier, remix. All my Act 2 music is gonna be faster. And also, LGZ and GCZ are gonna be faster more intense ones in the first place.Until now all fast-rythym (is it right?) songs there are in TP are from Eruption Conduit. Maybe you should make it more... hum... I dunno, but not too slow.
NoI still think DSZ's songs fit well with it. You could be lame! :D
