For my coursework I've got to compose a piece of modern music. I've chosen to do a cello rock song as I've fallen in love with Apocalyptica. It's something I've never thought of trying before and I was really up for the challenge but it's not working out to well. I know how many cellos I want and what key and time signature I want but I just don't know how to start it. Maybe I lack inspiration. I don't know. It's jsut frustrating. :( I know what I want, I just can't get to it. What do you guys think? Has anyone got any advice or has composed something similar before?

Hans Zimmer's music for At Worlds End is brilliant. I love all the songs but my favourites are At Wit's End, Up is Down, What Shall We Die For, One Day and Drink Up Me Hearties. I also love the oboe solo in I See Dead People in Boats. I haven't seen the film yet. No fair but I can't wait to see how the music all fits in.
