Composing

who else loves composing?

I love the products of composing, when you have finished it.
The process of composing or at least when classically composing is one huge headache as there are so many annoying rules!!

It's love-hate relationship with me.

I wish I knew how to do it. I'm taking music theory this upcoming school year, and I hope that will help me get started.

I've always found that the more music I listen to, the better I play and compose.

Its fun but sometimes it takes a while to get what you really want

In my experience some of my best compositions, both musically and lyrically, have come in "spur of the moment" situations.

When I sit down to write a song I tend to get writers block.

Years ago when I was finishing up my album I was short one song. I just started to speak to some friends and we got into talking about people that grew up in church but had gone back (back sliders). One of them was my sister.
We wrote a song and it was the most incredible song ever. Whenever I went out to sing this song the altar would be filled with souls wanting to come back to the Lord! ALL HONOR AND GLORY TO GOD!

So, it was and still is a blessing to see that something you composed can affect so many people!

Blessings!

definately agree with alabale for the spur of the moment thing, my best stuffs been then!

I'll go through phases of writing like 3 songs in 2 days, then brushing up on them later - i'm currently going through some of my older stuff and adding bits in, now that i've got a bit better at guitar etc.

It's good when you have inspiration, otherwise it's frustrating at times!

I love composting music. I use programs to compose and layout my music.

Excactly! I have about 4 songs in that category and about 4 in the "I like them but not sure what to do to finish them" category lol.

It definitely is a love-hate relationship for me too.

i love composing. i have to do it for my GCSE so that got me started. i like composing all sorts of different things, and now i'm in a band with my mates i write stuff for that too. it is really frustrating when you've got what you want in your head but can't figure it out though!

Me too... most definitely.

I'm more into "spontaneous composition" and creating improvisational structures, (performance instructions, abstract scores, etc.).

ex-Cutie · Sep 23, 2005

I love composing! Don't think my songs are any good, but I try. It's hard though cos my family of course says they're alright, but that's my fam. I want an honest opinion that will tell me if they're worthless if that's what they are.

ALABALE · Sep 29, 2005

Last night, woke up in the middle of the night with a beautiful melody in my head!! My keyboard was a church! I don't remember it now!

UUUGHHH!!!!!!

Don't you hate when that happens???
