catmaster0116 2,676 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone again Its been a while since I did any Kingdom Hearts compositions so today I bring you Rage Awakened This iconic musical theme is what we've come to associate with the Lingering Will LISTEN HERE!! My old version can be heard here, make comparisons and tell me what you think does it not make you think of.... and and and.... I have not defeated him yet T_T Dedication list TruthKey/KeyToTruth (I have so much to say about this person, but not enough space here) AndrewHankinson AngelTheWeird FrightFurUnversed GoldPanner (I don't see you very often anymore, but I wish you well) Hazimie Jack Overland Frost KHrulesbbs (My old friend, have not seen you in ages, but I wish you well - this guy here is an epic musician in the making) Kaweebo Kinode (I don't see you very often anymore, but I wish you well) Nightmare Consumer Oli (Amazing chiptune/dance composer, we need to collab OR you have to teach me your style someday!)

My original Rage Awakened 2010 version midi is still downloadable here and many youtubers out there have used this midi for their own musical reproductions of Rage Awakened such as this version and this version. I can tell they used my midi because I made mistakes with the 2010 version...and I hear the exact same mistakes in some of those videos lmao - kinda haunting really knowing that your mistakes keep coming back to haunt you. So 5 years later, I make a newer version which I shall dedicate to you guys . My 2015 version of Rage Awakened is a much improved version as it makes use of all the musical experience and musical theory that I have learned in these 5 years. Although I will release the MP3 to you guys, I will still not release this midi for personal reasons so I hope you can understand. My current policy is that I only share Midis with people I do composition collaborations with and even then I trust the person that I collaborate with to not release our midis, compositions or scores. You want more Kingdom Hearts Music?: Here is a list of all the KH songs that are up on the internet that I have done between 2007 and 2015 (I have many more that I did not upload). Thanks to Shard The Gentleman for reminding me that I had a soundcloud. Musique Pour La tristesse de Xion: Covered by me using vocals, keyboard, ocarina - all instruments were performed live Maestri Della Discordia: A song for KeytoTruth, its also part of my Kingdom Hearts fan album 'Soul of Melodies' which has been removed from the internet and is no longer available. Musique Pour La Tristesse de Xion: Piano version that I covered The Awakening of Tempest and Flame: A mashup song Destati + A song of Storm and Fire The Promised Beginning: A symphonic rendition of the field theme for 'Land of Departure' The Key to Mastery: A 'what-if' battle theme thats based on the battle theme for 'Land of Departure' (Future Masters) Desert Moon: A musical mashup of Sacred moon from Kingdom Hearts and Gerudo's Desert from The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Lazy Afternoon Streets: A song I wrote original lyrics to and sung using "Lazy Afternoons" and "Afternoon streets" as the melody Dismissed KH13 Project: You guys probably know all about this so I won't repeat myself - its my best work to date and I'm proud of it because it was something I made with everyone The Sleeping Promise version 1.0: Actually, this version should no longer be available...but turns out someone reuploaded it here and didn't credit me...oh well I'm not too fussed because the song belongs to Shimomura if I'm to be legally honest. Fight and Away Sacred Moon (358/2 Days mission mode) Sacred Moon (358/2 Days lobby mode) 13th Reflection: I have plans to do a 2.0 like what I did to Rage Awakened. The 13th Struggle (Ultima Remix): A song that mixes 13th Struggle, Keyblade Graveyard, Aqua, Ven, Vanitas....umm I don't really remember...it was just a really big mess but people seemed to like it lmao Another Side (Battle Arr): Its a mix of Another Side theme from KH1FM and KHDays Xion's theme ver 1 Xion's theme ver 2 Songs made using Nintendo DS instruments L'impeto Oscuro (NDS Instruments): Dark Impetus (NDS Instruments): Aqua's theme (NDS Instruments): A Scythe of Petals (NDS Instruments): The Lord of the Castle (NDS Instruments): The Graceful Assassin (NDS Instruments): Extended Orchestral and Project themes that were cancelled Some were collabed with KHrulesBBS, please check out his channel for his amazing original works as well as some of our old collabs. 358/2 Days "The Other Side" - A whopping 11:32 min orchestral piece song, its meant to be the 'credits' theme for 358/2 Days similar to the 'Fantasia Alla Marcia' for KH2, 'A link to the Future' for KHBBS (Sorry Zelda...lmao) and 'March Caprice' for KH1. Hazama no Shidosha: Basically is Xemnas's japanese title "The Superior of the Void" - this song is a 10 min symphonic piece dedicated to Xemnas and his many themes (includes themes from KH2 to KH3D) Les Promesses De La Maree Oublie: A 6 min orchestral symphonic piece of Xion's theme played in the style of 'The Other Promise' The Sleeping Promise version 2.0: The redone version that sounds much better than 1.0 Dearly Beloved: Reconnection "The Power of our connected hearts": An 8 minute symphonic piece with Dearly beloved as the main theme, also has other 'Themes of Friendships' from the Kingdom Hearts series mixed. If I am to be honest, I actually have made MANY more Kingdom Hearts themes in the past but I really cbb uploading....why you ask? because I don't want to become another Yoko Shimomura. I used to be so darn obsessed with these catchy melodies.

Guest Posted May 31, 2015 It sounds pretty great. The only real comments I have (it might just be because of my taste in music) would be the main violin cords could stand to be a tad more intense, not much. Maybe increase their speed or lower the tone of the low notes by one or high ten the pitch on the higher notes? I dunno. It's the same sort of issue I have with the actual song, it just lacks the intensity for me thst Lingering Will itself actually presents. It feels almost like a character theme than battle music to be doing such intense fighting to for me, of no fault of your own. Now don't get me wrong, it's exelent, if there were am extended version on YouTube, it would be in my music Playlist right now. But when you like something so much, you analyze it to see what could have been better and hope that your feedback helps the person who made the thing do so much better next time. Good job, and I'll wait for anot her song patiently. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazimie 1,595 Posted May 31, 2015 (edited) Love it,great music as always! Dunno why, but I feel like you make a revenge music for the people on the dedication list... Edited May 31, 2015 by Hazimie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LOL, you have a point there - but believe me its NOT revenge music *facepalms* - alright next time I do a mushy lovey-dovey song then! It sounds pretty great.

Good job, and I'll wait for anot her song patiently. I have to agree with you, but keep in mind its all still a midi (old-school phone ringtone) in the end - so controlling things like violin expression and vibrato are completely out of my control unfortunately. Maybe someday I'll do it justice. WELCOME BACK!! Long time no see, I see you've already become a fine Keyblade Master already, got any disciples yet?//shot 1 Hazimie reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
