Description
I recorded this short, minute long song last night and I'm actually very happy with how it turned out!
The song is inspired partially by video game music but mostly from Spanish guitar music. 
Edit: I decided to name the song Jetlag. Thanks everyone for your wonderful title suggestions. I apologize that I didn't use any of them.

Ah, what do you play?

Everything. Poorly. But everything.
I'm a decent guitarist and bassist and can also sing but mainly I'm a percussionist. I can also play keys but that's probably best saved for a last, desperate measure.

Well, if you have access to recording gear, I'd be delighted to collaborate sometime.

The hard part is the bit where I actually live in Phoenix.

I meant that we could like send recordings via email.

This is a possibility. . .

That's AWESOME. 
And I've always wanted to learn guitar, but never had the opportunity. X) Piano's good, but it isn't enough to convey all aspects and emotions of music.
MAN you're such a talented composer and musician. Now I have to attempt to compose something that can match the awesometasticness of this piece. X)

Wow, thanks so much!

No problem at all! Seriously, you need more promotion for your works. You're a musical genius. I'll definitely feature you in my next journal or something.
Hah, my music, better than this? Don't be so humble. X) I have absolutely no experience with all these awesome things you did... Guitar and drums and all. The drums are so intense, especially with all that insane rapidfire drumming near the end. And those wailing guitars are just unbelievably hardcore amazing. The Spanish guitar part in the background is definitely my favorite part in this whole song though. Man, so fantastic. I simply cannot beat this. (...yet.)
Haha... And what aspect of my music is it that makes you feel that way about it? I'd like to know what makes it enjoyable for you.

Thanks so much! You're so kind.

No no, you deserve far more than just my compliments for your musical masterpieces. X)
And thank you very much! Hmm, energy and feeling... Sure, there's a quite a bit of it in my works, but definitely not as much as there are in your Jetlag. 
Metropolitan Stream remains one of my favorites as well, and it's been hard trying to replicate the complexity and thoroughness of that song recently. X) Haha, and maybe "recorded" isn't the best word here... I add each note in one by one, using only the mouse. I never record songs directly from a keyboard or something - I just do it all by hand. XD

Ah... But yes indeed. I'm quite sure of it.
Hey, do you have MSN, googletalk, or AIM? I'd really love to have a chat with you about this stuff sometime.

I just have Yahoo Messenger. I used to have AIM but my account got hacked.
π: 0 β©: 1
aww. That sucks... I've had my AIM since 6 years ago, and it's been safe all this time. Maybe because of my 16-letter password and other paranoid security things I do.
I might have to get a yahoo account now, too... X)
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I used to have an extremely simple password but it got hacked twice on two separate occasions so I changed it. Now I don't trust AIM.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it can happen to any account on any service if you have an easy password. X) I had Yahoo once, a long long time ago... But I never liked it much to stay with it long enough, haha...
But hey! I heard that MSN and Yahoo announced that their IM services would be compatible with each other or something. Do you wanna give it a shot?
π: 0 β©: 1
Really? I didn't know that they were compatible. What's your MSN? My Yahoo is psychoticturtle.

el paseo de alegrΓa de medianoche meaning The midnight joy ride. This music just reminds me of midnight fun. kind of a long title but maybe you could shorten it to paseo alegrΓa medianoche. Kinda lame but sounds kinda cool. Nice work!!

Thanks. By the way, where did you get that Spanish phrase? My Spanish is a bit rusty but I think you just said "midnight stroll". I might be wrong though.

Your welcome! I used my cabeza! There's also a good website for translation [link] Very close. It actually means midnight joy ride. And BTW I said what it meant in my comment.

I'm probably wrong then.

Well I guess thats positive I might get credit for taking that last year! I've already got 2 credits and I haven't even started school!
