Simplicity

[TheYoungMathProf 11]

This is an original composition. I am focusing on simple melodic ideas and chords. I don't know how long I will make this yet (work in progress), but I expect this to sound really awesome when it is done! Here is the first 2 minutes!

Making it sound softer and adding come cool but not loud beat could make very nice song out of it but that's just my suggestion. What do you plan to do with it next?

The beginning would sound nice softer (relative to the rest). Overall, my program doesn't play my song back as loud, so when I save a file, I have to listen, go back, and adjust. I have also been considering adding some other instruments (like drums), but haven't really decided yet...

As for what I will do next...I really haven't decided yet. Either I will make this a slow piece overall, in which case I will transition back into Eb major (it began in Eb major and moved into the relative C natural minor), or I will make it a multi-movement piece, and add other sections (like a fast, intense section)

Very nice! I also making piano music with other orchestrations and drums.

What program are you using? Cause I was thinking about getting myself FL Studio and I'm looking for opinions now.

I am using a free program called "MuseScore". It is kinda simple, and some of the instruments that come with the soundfont sound mediocre at best, but for what I payed for (nothing), it is pretty good! Pretty easy to use. If you want to make REAL music though and you have the cash to spend, you are better off buying a program. I am kinda just experimenting right now (I played the trombone for 9 years, but never took any music theory or the like), but if I decide to get serious about music, I will probably end up looking for a program to purchase. (Side note: A good music theory website is <http://www.musictheory.net/lessons>)

I am personally a fan of small ensembles of mostly strings (violins, contrabasses, and perhaps flute), but I am experimenting with the piano. It is pretty fun!
