Arctica Genome (100)
Very similar to Mother Arctica and Arctica Transfiguration, yet it diverges on its own accord. This might be the last time I mess with Mother Arctica, but who can be so sure?
I tried making nice transitions and smooth melodies in places, but it still doesn't help the fact this has "bouncing elements" to gawk at.

Serendipitous Seere (99)
Somebody was quite nice to me on a certain site, so I made her a song. Really and truly, this one my favorite things I've composed so far.
My counselor said this song has some kind of oriental feel to it, then all the techno elements make him imagine a high tech Asian city. I don't know, but sounds it reasonable.
___---___
Armada (98)
I was interested in making a mostly atmospheric-ish song. I guess I was in that mood for most of the song, but it got too boring for me so I inserted some techno stuff near the end.
___---___
Poetic Ethic (97)
Just playing around with the piano. Stuck in some chords to see how it sounded. Hmph.
___---___
America the Beautiful (96)
My music appreciation professor was helping me learn note placement, so he started me off on this song. I then continued on with some of my own stuff.

DKR Spaceport Alpha Remix (95)
Do you guys remember Diddy Kong Racing? I haven't played it for probably, oh I don't know, 7 years. Recently, I've been watching my brother play it as a ROM on his computer, then he entered the Spaceport Alpha race. I finally remembered, it was my absolute favorite song from the game (then Star City then something else).
I needed to remix it, so here it is. I tried doing some of my own stuff as to not make it seem as if I copied each note verbatim, but it'll probably seem that way.

{-Afterburn Remix!-} (94)
Are your glowsticks still good? Get ready for another round!
___---___
{-Afterburn!-} (93)
Fetch the glowsticks and grab a friend! Dance till the strobelights knock you out! I'm starting to tame the techno.
___---___
-{Lift Off!-} (92)
Get aboard! The shuttle is about to lift off! I'm finally starting to grab life by the techno.
___---___
Arctic Breath (91)
Walk the howling Arctic landscape! I don't know how this song came about, but I showed this to my councilor and he somehow magically picked it apart to match what my life seems to be like. As in, he could tell from some parts that I am happily going along my business, then something immediately stops it. The choir is my sorrow.
The flute was very new to me, so I needed to use it.
___---___
Arctic Jewel (90)
I barely remembered today was my birthday (March 21st), so I quick slapped together a song to celebrate.
___---___
Soaring Strato (89)
Longest song I ever composed (8 minutes and 33 seconds!). This was created on and off for a month with my music appreciation teacher's input and advice. I've learned many things, such as form and keys. He asked me to compile a list addressing the different parts of my song. This is what I came up with that he approved:

He loved this song so much that he wants to play it as an example of modern music for his next semester class.

Arctic Night (88)
This was a very impromptu song. The main reason I composed this was because my video "Iridium Tower" didn't have music in it. Even if it was sort of rushed, I like the peaceful night feeling.
___---___
Straits of Izan (87)
Sometime during college class, I began daydreaming of a very cold, icy, snowy place. It was like the Strait of Gibraltar, but without the sun and the sea was covered with ice. Up on the little piece of land was a blue plasma lighthouse. Blue lights and ice mix well.
Hush yourself, I don't know anything about pianos. I just cram notes in there an hope for the best.
___---___
Capital Winter (86)
So I was messing around in Nexus when I got wind of what a chord really was (I never really know what it was until my music appreciation teacher told me). I wanted to jingle with that.
___---___
Iridium Storm (85)
I'm on the top floor in my college, 4 stories up, and seated next to a huge window. I look out across our campus and see it encompassed in a thick fog. So I whip out my laptop and get to work on this song.
The next day it was rain, which inspired the other half.
Pretty much totally done with Nexus.
___---___
Arctica Transfiguration (84)
I have just received the Nexus plugin was taken aback by the colossal amount of features. I decided to remix Mother Arctica (82) with the Nexus elements. I doesn't sound too polished because I was too ecstatic.
___---___
High Seas (83)
Put on an eager demeanor and fire up that imagination vessel. You are in the perfect storm!
___---___
Mother Arctica (82)
For several weeks, I couldn't really think up anymore songs. When I tried, it sounded like crap, then I would stop working on it. But then I was on a sugar high at midnight and listened to a few of my old songs and some from Newgrounds. I was then struck with the 'get out there and get it done' attitude. And thus this song came to existence. I used several 8-bit sounding instruments because I was feeling quite obtuse.
I admit the beginning is sort of bland, but listen to the whole thing before you express your final judgment.
___---___
Northern Alliance (81)
I haven't much to say, as usual. I was bored.
