Syniq Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 So, does anyone else here (aside from me) write music for entertainment as well as stories? Just wondering, as the muse I mentioned the other day decided to hand me this track on a plate this evening. So, yeah. Post something, if you have got anything. I'm interested to hear what some of the authors here write to go alongside their stories.
Abersloth Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah, I write for Piano and arrange/compose choral as well. I don't have any recordings that I know of, but will likely make one in the near future.
Michael9344 Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 I write songs/lyrics. Plently. None recorded, yet. I enjoy writing and sometimes songs are just more expressive.

intune Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 You'd probably like http://fawm.org/ Takes place every February. Great way to get the creative juices flowing. Neat I write song lyrics mostly, but I've dabbled a little bit on the piano too. If I ever get around to recording I'll definitely put something up here.
DragonMando Posted October 21, 2011 Posted October 21, 2011 I don't have any instruments actually on-hand but I dabble in my old Finale program with writing bits and pieces of things, mostly for flute and piano.
Syniq Posted October 21, 2011 Author Posted October 21, 2011 Crumbs, I've not used Finale for years. It had a fantastic MIDI sound library, IIRC.
Zombie Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I've got Finale and all the Atari kit it ran on but, like so much geeky stuff I bought, I never got round to using it. Last year, however, I came across the free composition program Musescore. Reviewers claim it has much of the functionality of Sibelius. If you can notate and want some software save your cash and give this a go - it is excellent. You can playback your score as you go. You can also share your scores too. So far I've got one posted, but notating takes me a long time
Adam Thomas Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Nothing better than wailing on my sax to get me in the mood for writing!
