My collection

This is a nice piece. I'm very happy to hear that you've filled this piece in instead of just having a melody and maybe a counter-melody. It sounds very good; try filling in some of the other pieces you posted here, and keep up the good work.

I walked in my garden. The wind blew lightly, inspired me a melody. It made me feel about home, about the past. We forgot something really important to us. And the feelings were like homesickness. They made you feel calm. This is pretty simple, but you can feel that feeling. The melody is not really good but it is attractive, right? It's even better if you listen to it in night.
 
I quite like your midi's and thank you for producing them :)

If I ever get round to doing some more work on the game I am making I am definitly going to incorperate them into it.

I got them to work, hehe my bad!
I've only listened to one so far, but I'll give some more a listen.

Just listened to In the Sky... It's a nice feeling over all. The music box/bells sound make it sound very RPGish. Although there are LOADS of places that have notes that completely clash. Go through this and listen very carefully, and you'll hear them. Also, I don't like the way this song wraps up. It seems to be a departure from the way the rest of it is. Lastly- is that Tremolo strings I'm hearing? If so, I suggest changing that, as they give off a sort of dangerous feelings. If not, I'm retarded. :D

Listening to seeds of hope now. It's nice, though I think the notes at the beginning sound a bit muddled. You've taken this in a much more Eastern direction, and it shows. It sounds really really nice, especially with the short strings pulls in the background. The song stays very very nice until the end, but it doesn't allow for repeat. This means it essentially can't be used in an RPG. You need to make it a natural sounding flow from end to beginning, unless you want this to only be used in cut scenes.

I'll update this post with every next song I listen to with comments.

So the problems here are:
1. "In the sky" is not well made. The melodies seem separate from each other.
2. "Seeds of hope" is not repeatable.
OK. About the first problem, I remake it. Just want to let you know: I haven't finished it, and I forgot that. So I'll continue.
The second problem: This song is good as the way it is. If I make this repeatable, it may cause the opposite effect (become worse). Besides, it's the first song I made. So I want to keep the original version. It should be used for cut scene. And that's all I think. Only cut scene.

There's a note clash at 11 seconds. Also, sometimes you're hitting really strong notes, which sounds cool in theory, but it throws off the mood of the quietness a tiny bit. I really love the harp here.
The strings still sound a bit off at times. Maybe you should have them play in bass instead?
I really love the harp.
Overall, this is a really solid song. I enjoy it, and with some minor tweaks, I'd say it'd be perfect.

(Sorry, haven't heard your other stuff yet, will check em out when I have the time.)

I tried changing it. But it wasn't better. I think the note clash makes the song dreamy. I changed a little. You will notice it if you listen again.

OK. "Also, sometimes you're hitting really strong notes, which sounds cool in theory, but it throws off the mood of the quietness a tiny bit" => Done.
And this is the worst (yeah) of mine:

The piano sounds great! How did you do that? By a software or...?
If there's some program which can do that, i'll be happy to have it. You did it yourself? If so I want to talk with you more. (And I think you did it)

Note: Since I listened to Haze, I knew that you didn't do it. Because I wrote the harp on different staves, and you changed the sound of each stave. So, they sound completely different.
