I wrote a song yesterday about anxiety and agoraphobia. Recorded a music video featuring my cat to make it more uplifting.

Very well done! I'm currently learning Max/MSP/jitter at uni as a course for my masters degree... I'm just at the most noobish starter level haha... worked years with Cubase thought this is gonna be easy transition but nah - ah! however my god this is interesting and I'm just discovering the tip of the tip of the tip of the iceberg.

Can't wait to get better, seems you're quite experienced (although I'm not experienced enough to know who's relatively experienced lol)

A song I finished writing over the weekend
Albatross - "Happy Again"

Verse 1
What's bothering you?? Tell me why you're blue
Is it something that somebody did or said??
HEY!! ! No need to be so glum - Just turn and face the sun
And let the shadows fall behind you

Bridge
So when the clouds gather and the rain begins to patter
Just hum a melody and turn that frown upside down
I know things'll get better - rather late than never!!
Brighter days lay ahead for those who wait

Chorus
I want you to be happy again - I want to see you smile once more
Turn that frown upside down till we can't laugh no more
I wanna make your day brighter - just a little bit lighter
So let the rain wash away those tears down the drain

Verse 2
What's made you cry?? Tears are in your eyes
There's no need to fuss and panic
HEY!! ! No need to be so glum
Just turn to face the sun and let the radiant light
Melt away your heartache

Bridge
So when the clouds gather and the rain begins to patter
Just hum a melody and turn that frown upside down
I know things'll get better - rather late than never!!
Brighter days lay ahead for those who wait

Chorus
I want you to be happy again - I want to see you smile once more
Turn that frown upside down till we can't laugh no more
I wanna make your day brighter - just a little bit lighter
So let the rain wash away those tears down the drain

I was going through some of the older pieces I wrote when I started composing, and I found this little gem. I wrote it as part of a 15 minute, 5 movement piece while I was obsessing over it during several LSD experiences. It's one of the more consonant movements.

There is a vague narrative in the 5 movements, and this, the final movement, begins with an ascension from chaos (the concepts of wrath and aggression were pervading the 4th movement this is evolving out of) into..well...basically a cliché ending. It's meant to have an unsettled feeling of hope rising into a sincere and heightened sense of beauty and then concluding with the expected and ordinary in an almost dissatisfying predictability.

Good chord progressions, splits, and balancing on this.

A track I made the day before christmas a few years ago. Unfortunately the bible reading (it's not me, found it online) is in Swedish.

Since I’ve mentioned I play guitar and dabble in composition for it a few times and then some... here’s a quick and dirty recording I made of one of my attempts :D

Most recent piece of improvised piano music I made...something in the classical/jazz zone.



I do recordings like this usually every few months or so. It used to be every month, and I'd share to FB, then I quit FB and realized I was putting too much pressure on doing the recordings (and really getting very few views). They all tend to be similar and I think that if you're not particularly interested in piano music of this genre, you won't enjoy them. Also I used to sometimes go for like 20 or 30 min., and I realize most people's attention span for a piece of music is much less than this.

I play piano or guitar basically every day unless I'm taking a rest. Mainly I do the recordings for myself, so that I can listen to my playing and reflect on it and get new ideas and take it new places. Secondarily I do it so I can share my music with people in an accessible way if I can't play for them in person. I basically play for my own entertainment and joy although I like to play with others listening to see how they respond. Although I could see myself maybe someday doing some gigs or something if I really tried, for the most part I don't see it as a way of making money or a career and just a hobby. I wouldn't be in it for the money but rather the experience and excitement of playing for an audience. I'm not really interested in teaching anyone to play (outside maybe my family or friends). I fantasize a bit sometimes about being able to play at Jazz clubs or something like that, but I can't really see a practical way to get there (and I tend to doubt myself that my music would be something others would actually be interested in hearing). Idk, I've always been kind of unassertive and resigned when it comes to conventional success...oh well.

One of my goals for the next 2-3 years is to finally afford a grand piano for my home. At that point I've actually considered hosting "piano meetup groups" which I know would be a good way to connect with audiences and musicians. I don't know if I'll end up doing that or what it'll be like, but it's one way to make friends I guess.
