This topic is exactly what it says on the tin. I taught myself to compose music over the past two years, and now I'd like to go ahead and have a chat with other people here on BZP with an interest in making original music.To get the ball rolling, what's your compositional style, if you could really be said to have one? I tend not to stick with any specific pattern for too long, but instead I try different combinations of ideas to see what works. In the grand scheme of things, I'm a fairly inexperienced composer with no formal training (though I get by with a little help from my more experienced friends), so experimentalism is really the only thing I could possibly get away with doing.On another note, what's your most ambitious compositional endeavor to date? Mine's a fairly timpani-heavy piece (unfinished, alas) that features several brass instruments, three string instruments, and a fairly healthy supply of non-timp percussion. It's my most ambitious project yet for two reasons - one, it's got the longest instrument list, and two, it's the longest piece I've written that isn't largely fluff and pointless repetition of the same phrases. I've kind of lost interest in writing that piece as of late, but it will come back to me when I figure out what I want to do with the flute-and-violin-based interlude.Well, I've held up my end of the bargain. Don't let this one go belly-up like the last time I tried to get you lot to talk about music!
