Hi All.
It's my first post on these forums here, thanks for having me. :)
I joined to get myself back into the groove of composing (I have not touched it in over a year), and as means of being more responsible/accountable for it. I think I do an ok

Just wanted to get some critique on this song I wrote a couple months ago. I'm in the polishing up phase on several things right now and I was curious your all's opinion on how I might improve this one. It's meant to be quite ambient in natu

Yes, working on too many projects and also having a relationship now doesn't improve my free time to compose.
A few weeks ago, I finally completed the first movement of my first Mass, t

The constant chatter and blabbering
Spreads through my ears
Blue Birds where are you?
You're the one I want to hear
