Hi tyler,
Thanks for your welcome message and also your doubts regarding my status as a composer or not. I am not trying to waste anybody's time and certainly not using this forum cheaply. Perhaps I was not clear on my intention:
My main purpose is to share and hear others music. The difficulty of considering myself or not a true "composer" is more of a philosophical kind, I think it will keep me always wondering and uneasy. This question has not stopped me from composing, and the result I have just uploaded to my profile.
If however, to be part of this forum, I need to have already renown music either sold or used in a famous project, I am afraid I have none. I am optimistically hoping to though, and that is why I registered here to begin with =)
Cheers from Ireland!
Hii Tyler,
