Here is yet another original composition by Yours Truly, The DragonLord.
I feel quite proud of this one, and consider it some of my best work yet. I
spent a lot of time working on this one, getting everything done the way I
wanted, and making sure everything fit together well. I'm quite pleased witht
the way it turned out, though, even if it isn't as long as I would have liked.
I actually intended to make it longer, but the ending rather sneaked up on me,
and I realized, as I wrote the second last pattern, that no more needed to be
done; it was the ideal ending (to me), so I left it relatively alone at that.
I sometimes spent a considerable amount of time just working on one pattern,
finding the perfect melody to accompany the main line, or writing a good sague
to lead into another part, which sometimes got rather complex. But the final
result is here before you, and I do hope you enjoy it. It's perhaps not in
the same genre as my Lucid Dreaming MODs, but I don't write in any particular
genre. I write what I enjoy writing, and it may not always be the same _type_
of MOD as its predecessors. I enjoy variety, differences in music within
itself, and differences in genres, as well. Many of you may notice that I
rarely repeate "verses" or segments of music; there's always something
different about each and every pattern. That's the way I like to write, with
wide variety of sound. Some say that it's disjointed, that "there's no melody
to latch on to". I don't write "catchy" songs, or songs you can "latch on
to". I write songs to be felt and experienced and appreciated for what they
are. Music is a powerful medium, perhaps one of the most powerful because it
can change your whole mood in a matter of minutes, and that to me is very
powerful indeed. And I try to reflect that in my music. It may not be for
everybody, but then I'm not out to please everybody. I write what I want to
and feel like writing. Not what people want or expect me to write.
At any rate, I hope you enjoy this latest offering. Spread it wherever
you please, but please keep all relative files mentioned above retained in the
archive before you do.
