Welcome to the Composers' Forum, an online community of working professional and aspiring composers and songwriters. We hope you enjoy these forums and blogs and become active in our community.

This is a great place to talk with composers just like you. You can see, hear, and communicate with composers of many different styles. Ask them what equipment they use, or how they feel about the mixolydian mode!

This is a private forum that welcomes any composer to join. But we moderate closely to keep it on topic and useful for composers. We reserve the right to delete or ban posts, comments, or members.

Our community is one of peers socializing and not a place of advertising and job hunting. Nor is it a 'myspace' with a race to spam as many people as possible to get clicks on your page.

Please respect our members by not posting advertisements for yourself or products or sites you support, and please refrain from posting graphics on other members blogs/pages. We also have zero tolerance for piracy, and any music posted or any intellectual property that is found to not be legal will be banned.

Get active and comment on other member's pages, make a blog post about your music, post in the forums. We are glad you are here!

Thanks,

The Management

World's Longest Piece!

We are composing the world's longest piece of music! Any composer can sign up! Basically, you will compose 2 minutes of music, with the start and end matching certain tempos and keys, so that the next guy's section will transition properly.
