YOUR ONLY OBLIGATION IF YOU USE IT IS TO CREDIT THE MUSIC TO ME - STEVEN GANE - AND ALSO NOT TO SPREAD THE MUSIC AS PUBLIC DOMAIN. INTRODUCTION: ------------ Thankyou for buying F1 Licenceware music Vol 3; F1 SLOW MUSIC. If you haven`t bought volumes 1 and 2 (why not?!) then they are: F1 Music Vulume 1 (a miscallaneous collection of modules) F1 Rock (mostly rock and heavy type songs) If you have either of the two, then you`ll know generally what to expect. There are 9 mods on the disk for the use of F1 Programmers in their productions, which can be loaded up into either protracker (which is included on the disk - instuctions later) or Octamed. I actually created the songs in Octamed, then converted them so they should be easier to use in games. If they`re not, and you are desparate for an Octamed format module, write and let me know. If loads of people write, then I may do and exclusive Octamed module disk. . I`m hoping to build up a collection which will include music for any needs, so if there are any suggestions for music styles that you`d like me to do, then write and let me know at the address below. You can use any of the modules, which are in Protracker format as long as you credit me for them! INSTRUCTIONS ------------ When Protracker has loaded, click on `DISKOP`. Then, click on `DF0` When the directory has loaded, clicking on the name of a module will load it automatically. When loading has finished, click on `MAIN MENU` (in the top-left corner). Now, to hear the module, just click on `PLAY SONG`. It`s all pretty self explanatory. To stop playing, press `STOP`. To start the song again, you need to change the `POS` counter to zero, then click on `PLAY SONG` again. THE MUSIC --------- NAME LENGTH UNPACKED SIZE ---- ------ ------------- - CIRCUS MUSIQUE 2:30 54880 I tried to give this one an eiry, circus feel to it, which I hope has succeeded. The use of organ is offset by the use of the brass and piano. - FRETLESS 3:00 122984 This one is a slightly more standard fair (oh dear, crap circus/fair pun number 36...) It`s a slow peice, with extensive use of flutes, and some electric guitar on the chorus. It sounds a bit like a high-score table piece of music to me. - GUITAR 0:46 13002 This is a tiny, short mod which uses only one instrument. A piano. (Or maybe it`s a guitar?) It`s not terribly good, but I`m sure someone can find a use for it?! - IVORY 2:07 26114 Yet another small module. This one uses a lot of echo commands. As there is no real tune to this (!) it may be best for in-game music, as it`s quite unobtrusive. - MELLOW TUNING 3:17 This starts with a simple drum pattern, which builds up slowly with a bass guitar, until a mellow flute takes up the melody. This then builds up to the chorus, with string chords and so on. A little piano bit finishes it off, then it loops to the start. - SADNESS 2:31 78708 This is a simple tune, with a standard set of chord changes. There`s a guitar intro on the first verse, then a flute takes over for the main melody. There is a change of rhythm and style for the guitar solo in the middle part of the song. - SPOOKY 3:26 107628 This module is very slow and atmospheric, building up from a beginning of soft chords, to a sparse drum beat, then back to a heart-beat finish. It`s very much in the Shadow of the Beast style of music. - SYNTHREED 2:25 39662 `Synthreed` has a sort of synthesizer type feel to it. It uses only three instruments, and has no drum beat at all. The rhythm is kept going by the `synthreed` sound, and then by the bass. The lead tune is discordant at first, but then becomes melodic before the chorus. - WHY BOTHER? 2:21 110550 `Why Bother` is probably one of my saddest pieces of music. I wrote it after my grandmother died when I was feeling depressed. The result is a slow song, with a distinctive tune, and good use of guitar, to build up to the finish. It`s quite short, but is, I think, full of a feeling of despair and sorrow. I really hope that you like the music, and can find a use for it. A lot of work has gone into this disk - please don`t spread this disk, and please don`t forget to credit me, should you use any of the music. If you want a disk by me which you can spread, then look out in the Public Domain for MUSICALLY CHALLENGED and MELODICALLY CORRECT and coming soon: HARMONIOUSLY DIFFERENT Also look out for my other two F1 disks if you don`t have them, and, coming soon.... F1 ? (to be decided!)
