Ok, so I'm writing a tetris game for extra credit in my visual basic (leave me alone. I don't want to hear it) class. The program is going along fine but.. it's quiet.

I don't want to break too many laws, so I figured I'd give massassi a chance to compose some good tetris music.

Requirements:
Needs to sound technoy.. but not overdone.
Needs to have a tetris sound...
Doesn't have to be a remix, keep in mind. It just has to have that "This music makes me think of tetris" sound.

Yeah. That's pretty much it. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] The winner (and most likely all of them) will get to be put into my program, and cycled through while playing.

Post 'em!
[edit- Or should I say.. compose 'em! Hahaha! Happydud made a funny.... *goes back to hiding under a rock*]

I can't make any music for beans. Can't wait to see what other ppl pop out though. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

/me gets ready to save all to hd.

edit: btw, I took C++ last year, and according to UGG, C++ was designed by bacteria (or was it aliens?).
Okay, this edit had no point at all. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/rolleyes.gif]

Do you want it to loop?
What format/bitrate?
Do you need sound fx?

I was complaining earlier about needing an audio project, this is perfect.

the real bad thing is tetris has had so many different types of music...

Tetris Worlds has crappy techno
Tetris on the gameboy has the good tetris music...
Tetris on the CD-i has elevator music

I think the best thing to do is make music you'd like to hear while playing tetris. At least, that's what I'm gonna do.

Well I was bored, so I had a try at it. Only spent a little time at this particular one, because I didn't wanna get too intense for "video game" music, which is what I tried my hardest to do.

It's actually kind of funky *grooves*

I'll probably update this one in a day or so, and write a few more little diddies. Maybe I'll make them less-maddening, too. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/wink.gif]

I don't think you need to loop it, I can do that if I need it to. mp3 would be preferable, wav and midi works too.
And.. zaa? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

INSANITY TETRIS HARDCORE

Septic.. That was.. interesting. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] I think it was a little too "hardcore" and not enough "tetrisy" though. Maybe slow it down a wee bit, and play around some more.

Compos- I liked it. Looking forward to hearing more. But why was is it trying to save as an mpeg file..?

is that too intense? Cuz I have a couple of high-quality tracks like that, and they are nearing completion.

It'd make for some intense tetris

Yes, yours keep opening in quicktime, as Mpeg files. Odd.

Anyway, pretty good. Doesn't really give me that tetris feel.
I'm looking for something more along the lines of this (only shorter) http://www.zaccohn.com/tetris.mp3
