Posted in the Sakura II's OOC board and people enjoyed it, so sharing it here! Most of these tracks are composed in Ableton with the Orchestral Strings pack among others.
I tried composing a battle music track for the Sakura II's current fight. Can't say it really fit the direction I was going for, but I think it came out alright. It's a bit dark in the middle, like a large warship lurking towards you. Might need to try again, or try a different scene. I'm still pretty new to composing, so thought this might be a good exercise for practice.

Similarly, Seraphic Fiend was a similar attempt at battle music that I liked a lot. "A boss fight against an evil god that parades itself as a force of good, tricking those around it onto an evil path."

Since I like horror games a lot, I wrote an ambient background track that I imagined playing in the entrance to a zombie-infested mansion. Was thinking Resident Evil mostly as inspiration. Aptly named Mansion.

Lastly, I wrote a short visual novel for a contest a while back and composed a cello solo. The story was about a mute boy learning to appreciate music in a world of spoken magic. The cello piece was meant to reflect this struggle a bit. I didn't win the contest, but it's what started me on composing! This track is just made in Finale Notepad and exported.

Then I got Ableton and made it dark and creepy because why not?

That's what I've got so far! Any feedback/criticism is welcome since I'm trying to improve. I'll probably try composing more songs for RP scenes since I had a lot of fun with that. Thanks for listening!
