Blinded By Light is an awesome song, though.

Indeed it is :3

Wow :3 I like this, it's pretty good and boss-y

Also random semi-unrelated thought:
Isn't 6/8 basically the same as 3/4... I mean it would turn out the same if you made it 3/8 at double the tempo it's at now?... eh maybe I'm just making things complicated by thinking about something I shouldn't pay attention to lol x_X

ups I meant 3/4 not 3/8 ><

It's music theory semantics really. *begins rant* so both 3/4 and 6/8 have six 8th notes in a measure. The difference is how the beat is divided. In 3/4, the beats go 1 2, 1 2, 1 2, like for example in Tetris theme C http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3746823/. In 6/8, the beats go 1 2 3, 1 2 3, like for example.....well the entire pirates of the caribbean soundtrack.
Similarly in music theory we say anything with a 4 on the bottom, the beats are divided into twos (2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, etc.) and anything with 8's on the bottom if the top number is a multiple of 3 is in groups of 3 (6/8, 9/8, 12/8, 15/8, etc.). *ends rant*

Ah I think I get it... not entirely sure though since I haven't started studying alternate time signatures yet :/

no actually its not. 3/4 means 3 beats in measure, with quarter not equaling 1/4 of a 4/4 measure. 6/8 means a quarter note takes 2 beats. so if you have all quarter notes the counting becomes instead of 1 2 3 1 2 3 it becomes 12 34 56 (or 1 3 5 if you dont include the sustaining of the note in the actual counting)

Ah not sure if I'm far enough on my music theory studies to understand this stuff yet :/ I haven't taken time looking at odd time signatures or anything since I figured I need to get other stuff down first

actualy i havnt taken music theory. i just play the clarinet.

Ah well playing an instrument helps I suppose :b... I've just been reading some theory stuff online and experimenting, have a guitar and keyboard but I'm apparently not patient enough to get past the horribly depressing basics :/

let me give you advice. find somethign that is fun to play. bohemian rhapsody is a good one, so is the grinch.

I figured as much... problem is what's fun to play (that is songs that I would like to play are kindof fast paced and therefor definately not beginner songs x_X) But it's mostly the finger exercises and stuff that's just boring like learning scales and such etc.

those are armups. like scales, just play through a few of them a couple of times, then go into a song. even if you slow it down so you can learn it, then pick up the pace as you learn the song well.

Ah well even if I know it my body doesn't seem to care since it doesn't follow instructions from the brain properly (that's my biggest source of frustration and hating) It's stupid if your brain knows exactly what to do the hand should be programmed to follow the instructions with 100% precision just like when typing this text now I don't have to look at it, I can type with closed eyes and not do any errors and I'll still know if I did any errors so there's nothing wrong with my finger precision but it still doesn't work on something else --' Eh I'm just ranting and whining really, I just need someone to force me to do it so I won't skip out...

part of it is muscle memory, which is why you know where your finger should be for a certain letter. you would have to relearn it all again if you used a zwerty keyboard rather than a qwerty type.

Ah well still seems illogical that it works that way to me, but then again the human body and brain is fairly badly "programmed" if you think about it :/ I guess I should just find some way to punish myself if I skip out on practice... it might work

6/8 does not mean a quarter note takes 2 beats. There are two beats in a 6/8 measure, made of two groups of three eighth notes. In 6/8 a quarter note is 2/3 of a beat. One beat in 6/8 is a dotted quarter note. The 12 34 56 pattern indicates 3/4. Like I said though, just music theory semantics xD.

It feels more like 4/4 with a triplet feel.

I like this, though! Quite a lot. :3

Scored in 12/8 actually, so yeah 4/4 made out of triplets. Thanks though ^^

Great composition, I love it.

Its not too common to come across 6/8 score. I really like. :D

I've always liked the 6/8 and 12/8 feel. It can add a degree of tension and action to a piece, and it is easy to get that sense of urgency. The boss music/fight music often uses this. I always think of the Gradius type stuff tho.
I do not have FF13 (yet) so I'm not that familiar with the theme, but it sounds like you did a good job. Nice to have some dynamics in there as well. :D

How the hell did all the comments turn out to be about time signatures xD
The FF13 theme is called Blinded by Light, and though bears nearly no resemblance to this, is still an awesome theme. Made a piano arrangement of it just a few submissions ago. Glad someone noticed the dynamics though, thanks ^^

although i have to admit..it feels..>DIFFERENT from a 6/8 piece..it has a more..intense feel...oh...OH ok it IS 12/8. wow htats...thats awesome! might be looking at what else you have submitted, but if its anything near this, then i have to admit, your good.

*casts Fira* rawr!!!

*gets smashed* dammit x.x

nice piece btw

How funny, I just started doing something with a 6/8 chromatic fugue (though it's going to to be played with a 12/8 feel, just so that the motif has a nicer phrasing on sight). I could see myself fighting the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog with this music! Also, you must compose in 8/8 one day, it's totally like composing in 8/4, but cooler!

Killer Rabbit of what?? Anyway...I look forward to that fugue. Also what's special about 8/8?

I don't think anything is special about 8/8, there's just one primary accent for a lot of notes, so you get a much more flowing feel than say... 4/4.

That fugue is now here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3863366/ it's quite brisk! An also for that really cool instrument where you use your legs!

I challenge you to a duel of Bach-fu! It's like kung-fu but instead of using hands you swing harpsichords at each other.
