  Hi there,

 really liking the piece, great job! And having just played one of those
 RPGs for the first time in ages (and I do remember them from my childhood
 days as well...), I can attest to the fact that it would them nicely. ;)
 I agree that taking the drums out for one of the quieter parts would have
 made for some nice contrast, but yeah, that's not a must.

 Best Wishes
 Kevin

 Airship - A 16bit Soundtrack Theme
 direct download: http://www.nilsgey.de/uploads/NilsGey-AirshipTheme.mp3

 I have finished my first just-for-fun composition since a very long time
 ago. It is a game-soundtrack like piece I named “Airship”. I can imagine
 this in a Japanese 90’s RPG from the SNES or Sega Genesis/MegaDrive era.

 Software used: Laborejo composition and midi generation, Fluidsynth for
 midi to wave rendering and Ardour for the fadeout :) .

 I used an .sf2 called Setzers SPC which I have downloaded here. I am not
 sure about the soundfonts legal status so I am careful and release the
 Airship Theme not as a free piece but just as: Listen to it freely, share
 and redistribute it but don’t use it in any work, derived or original, or
 as part of a game or video etc. Don’t do anything commercial with it and
 don’t change the mp3 tags. If you find a named, matching License to this
 description feel free to use that instead.

 I would be very happy if you leave a comment or click this blogs “Like”
 button.

 Greetings,

 Nils

 Hi,

I concur with some said already; it reminds a bit of some soundtrack for a
game and maybe, at 1:00 min and at 4:30 aprox., would be nice to have a
quiet part as a middle section to rise then up as an anthem.

Also would be advisable some processing (Delay, Reverb) on the mix to make
the sound a more realistic, to mitigate the rude MIDI sound, and as if
recorded in some space, a large hall i.e.

Nice music,
Thanks for sharing, Nils
