I've never really heard atonal music before, besides in maybe some old movies, so I'm sortof sketchy on how to give actual criticism on it, but I like it ^_^

It sets a mood, and that was the whole idea

It isn't the sort of music I'd come up with as a rule. I do have atonal moments and usually keep them to myself!

Hah! Thank you for these comments. Confronted by a new environment/mood is big inspiration. This jungle threw up a few structural problems and integrating a "technological society", such as it was.

I await with interest, if Marcuslee comes up with a piece.
Marcuslee, if you have a mic and some means of manipulating recordings, it's possible to come up with some very weird stuff.

Cheers, everyone.

Was I on the right track in my last post?

Yeah, I've found a few sound effects that I think would fit. Now (when I have a few free minutes), I am trying to create melodies that symbolize the themes I mentioned in my last post.

Patience is a virtue!

marcuslee:
about the identification of animals in music, i always try to think hard about what it is that these creatures do
A vulture, for instance, floats about, lurking and waiting for it's prey to stop moving. It does this for a very long time, and if one of these would be circling over my head, it'd give me an eerie feeling.

A frog sits on a leaf or whatnot, bobbing about in whatever pond it is in, and sometimes hopping to the next or into the water, and catching flies with it's tongue, etc.

perhaps it's an idea to, instead of just identifying animals with a single instrument, try and set an atmosphere around these creatures with a smaller or bigger musical piece, depending on how much material you'd need

Very interesting concept-- Marcuslee, my first thought for butterflys would be to listen to R. Schumman's "Papillions" (SP?) and use a piano. Good luck-- I hope you'll post it so we can all hear it!
