My Life As A Composer


Drill Master

Dear All,

Some of you may know that I like music a lot, And that I have actually composed my own music. I have posted a few of my works on Skype and have gotten good feedback, so I am posting my works here for all of RRU to hear. Feel free to comment, criticize, suggest changes, or request anything.

I have been composing since Freshman Year 5 years ago. I have played the Alto Saxophone in band for 6 years, and I also play the piano. I have loved the piano ever since I was young. My first keyboard had 32 keys but it was very small. Next I moved up to a 37 key keyboard which was bigger, but I quickly grew too old for it. My current keyboard has 61 full size keys.

My choices of music are Soundtracks (video game and movie), New Age (relaxing instrumentals and ambience), Inspirational/Motivational, Classic Rock, and Today's Music. I can play music well by ear, and I have also written piano sheet music.

I will update as I compose new works, or dig up some of my old ones.

My first work is called "Rise", which some of you have heard on Skype:

Rise.mid

You need a MIDI Player to listen to it. I use Synthesia. It is free and works well. Other choices are also available.

So have a listen, and see what you think!

Notice: I take all of my work seriously. This music is not to be reproduced in any way, unless given permission by me. ;)

I don't know about everyone else, but on my computer Windows Media Player (i.e., the default program that comes pre-installed on almost every windows computer) plays MIDI files fine. So there's no need to install any third-party software to listen to these. Unless you already have.

I figured out why. It pulls up WMP and plays it, but it is actually playing through Synthesia in the background. I just tested it. Otherwise, it would say WMP cannot play this type of file.

Same here with WMP.  I did not install anything else and it worked just fine.  If Midi cannot be played using WMP alone, then MS Zune must be why it worked.
