I write music too ... if anyone cares

First, I should warn you, these are piano songs, and they do tend to be a bit classical/contemporary in nature.

Go http://www.angelfire.com/un/hemrebu/ for my website index. Only the combined pieces and song 7 are really worth listening to...although if you have time you can hear all the individual songs and how they were eventually combined.

Please send any comments or title suggestions to whatisfrap@gmail.com.

Last of all, for those who do actually listen, Thank you. It means something to me.

t00br cool music! Your ideas are like ides v1, your songs are like ideas v2 and combos like ideas v3. I think a little more work is needed, and better pianist and recording equipment. But besides that its really good.

EDIT: your song numbering goes 1,2,3,4,5,7 notice no six...

Cool! What software did you use to write them, or was it mostly by hand on good old-fashioned notepaper? And who is that awful pianist? (No, j/k ;))

At least someone here keeps classical music alive. I'll be sure to check the tracks out later.

As much as I like my satanic, norwegian black-metal and my english trip-hop, I sure do love classical music. I'm a classical guitarist, myself. ;D

Have you thought about orchestrating any of this?

I use Finale Notepad, but it's a royal pain to work with, and I don't want to pay for better software, so I simply resorted to memorizing all the songs. (no, I can't play piano very well :rolleyes: ) It's flattering to know people actually noticed this thread. Some suggestions for notation software would be nice.

Ok, it's kind of expensive. But that's practically the only drawback. Especially since the latest version just came out. It's probably the most powerful and easiest-to-use music notation program ever invented. I think it costs about $600, but a student edition that provides a good introduction to the software is $100 (USD), and you can afterwards upgrade to version 4 at a lower price.

Also, I am a major fan of the minor key :D (and locrian, w00t!), so more solid minor chords would be cool, but thats just me
