1. Didja accidentally blow through the whole, "We're using our real names" thing on registration? No problem, just send me (Mike) a Conversation message and I'll get you sorted, by which I mean hammered-into-obedient-line because I'm SO about having a lot of individuality-destroying, oppressive shit all over my forum.

Can I get away with this?

  1. Hi all :)

    Just wondering what others' opinions are. Too close, or not?



    And excuse the lack of orchestration :)
     
  2. Too close to what? Either way, it's unfocused or missing stuff. You have two sentence fragments there, brother. Do it purely on piano first to reveal its Truth.
     
  3. I think it's a variation from independence day?
     
  4. Too close to what?

    Each other.

    Sorry if that wasn't clear; thought it would be.

    The first 7 sec is something I wrote, and the 2nd half is from Independence Day. Yes, my half is missing stuff, but that doesn't matter. The melodies are either too close, or they aren't too close, regardless of having more stuff or less.

    Here they are on piano:



    Thanks.
     
  5. It's similar but only the first bar and then you go off into your own thing so I don't think anyone would really notice or care.
