It seems that Audio Surf attracts people who make music. Don't really know why, but I've been enjoying playing my own songs on it and I'm sure others have done the same.

So this is a place for the ones who make the music to pool their songs into one thread, and the people who listen to music to get free songs to play in the game. This is also a way of ensuring that artists get listened to; no threads with no responses forcing the artist to bump it to get anyone's attention.

This also really shouldn't be a feedback ordeal. If you like the song, it's good to say so, but dissecting it, telling the artist what parts could be improved, and having him or her re-upload is not really the point. That would be better done in an IM or another forum that has a feedback section.

In short, short comment good, long comment bad.

Please don't post a song that starts you off with five bricks in your face. Either the song should not start with any immediate bricks, or insert a one second pause before the song begins.

Please don't sell your song. This is just part of general fairness. Many will post songs, it is up for the audience to decide whether it's good or bad. Writing "LEET MIXING RAAAAWWWWK" won't improve our opinions.

On the other hand, I am for general info such as genre, what kind of track it creates, length, etc. Legal info is also very good. Preferably in italic text AFTER the link and description if one is given.

Me first, I guess.

This is a remix I did of Final Fantasy 1's battle theme by Uemastu Nobuo (family name, then personal (I think)). It is a work in progress, but it's well on it's way (I hope). I'd say there's good difficulty if played on elite.

I really don't care about any sort of copyright. I wouldn't even be pissed if you slapped your name on it and went somewhere else with it.

I hope a lot of you artists post a lot of songs. Sort of like a community project.

And I hope you consumers enjoy watching it happen, and commenting on the way.

Note: Rules are subject to change. What they are now is just a baseline of what would be nice. Later, by demand, some might be added, some might vanish.

I mostly play as the Ninja Mono, but I occasionally like to play as the eraser, or as I call it, the "ethnic cleanser"!

Sounds fun. Yeah, I've been playing my own songs too. I see you used willhostforfood.com - are they good?

Also is anyone picky about genre?

Meh! Genre!! Smiley

I'm in this thread for the new stuff, the originality, and for songs that work well with AudioSurf!!
Whatever the genre, what ever the groove, I say bring it...!!!

If people are willing to create music specifically catered to the lovers of 'the ride' I think this can only be a good thing!!

This game seems built to work with ANY genre. Rock, ambiance, techno, classical, hip hop, etc. Therefore, ANY genre of music should be good for submition.

I agree with "If people are willing to create music specifically catered to the lovers of 'the ride' I think this can only be a good thing!!" For my next project, I was actually thinking of a song with rapid pace-changes. Don't know if I can pull it off, though. Kind of new.

OK, I'll have a trawl through some of my stuff and see if any interesting tracks show up. (That's not quite the same as making stuff specifically for Audiosurf, I know, but I can get round to that later!)

I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with music-wise.

Interesting idea.

Maybe I should PM one of the developers about the thread.

I see you used willhostforfood.com - are they good?

I like using them.

www.psy-t.com

feel free to play any of my songs in audiosurf, imo most of them aren't particularly great in the audiosurf context, but it's good music nonetheless.

legal: i retain my rights over my music, but you're free to listen to it and share it.

Glad I saw this topic. I haven't made a new song in a while but I have plenty of songs to choose from here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=47653&content=music and here's my last.fm thingy.

If you enjoyed any of the songs while surfing or just listening let me know.  Grin

Thanks for participating. Although, I was also hoping for a little more a little participation from non-composers/mixers. Oh well, this is good for now.

Keep the music coming. I'm liking what I'm hearing so far. I figure I'll play the game with AT LEAST one song from every artist who posts here.

"Evil Wins" by the Recluse definitely needs to go in Audiosurf Radio! It's pretty challenging to play, but you get those quiet bits as a breather between the more intense sections.

"Fight Scene WIP" - any idea when it'll be completed? It's coming along well.

Out of the Lupin tracks my favourite is probably "Song".

Nice to see this topic got sticky'd. Im a bit back upped with school at the moment but as soon as I get a chance Im going to try and create a song with just audio surf in mind. If one of the devs could get in touch with me and let me know what the algorithm looks for things like corkscrews and other cool effects that'd help. Or if someone has already deduced it just send me a PM on the forums.
