Composing

Siddi · 11-06-2011, 08:11 AM

I compose piano pieces as a hobby. Nothing special, but it is fun for me.

I'm also an amateur composer, and would have liked to pursue it academically. But I chose the performance route instead. I mostly write pieces for cello, or small chamber ensembles. Haven't had much time recently to write anything, that seems to be a reoccurring problem for a lot of hobbyist composers. It takes a lot of commitment to write a piece, and a lot of people have difficulty finding time.

It would be nice to hear some of everyone's work here . . . . not gonna happen though.

I've written an album of classical piano music:
soundcloud.com/azural/sets/classical-piano-1

When I was a child I would write overly ambitious piano music that I couldn't play (and once an attempted symphony).

I kinda liked
"Brewed By Arclight."
It was original, refreshing, but kinda repeats itself in unnecessary ways sometimes. Keep working hard, you have some real talent.

I've just finished composing a piece. And would like peoples opinions.

I'm an amateur composer. I write in a very minimalistic style, but I have a love for just about everything. I'm in the process of creating my own style of aleatoric "method" for composing... And I have a very open heart for John Cage's music XD

I'd love to see/hear it!

What do you mean when you say minimalistic?
