I'm sure learning to play something of a more organic nature would benefit me as a composer, but I've never been motivated to follow through on growing skilled at producing sound on a normal musical instrument.So that is why your notation is... Ahem... Quite interesting....

My guess would be that you either mean that I derive harmonies through melody rather than the other way around or that I sometimes use chord regressions. Neither of these are, in my opinion, though, a problem, and I think much of the music I've uploaded to the net is reasonably solid aside from issues with me often using cheap synthesized instruments.

2 hours ago2 hr I started on the trombone about 15 years ago (sorry, I'm a little older than someone that I typically call young, but I was looking for a community to engage with one of my healthier and more interesting hobbies). 3 or 4 years after that, I picked up the electric bass (I always wanted to get a contrabass to transfer my skills and diversify the contexts I can play in, but the cost is very high), and this has become my main instrument. Over the next 5 or so years after that, I picked up the guitar and most of the brass family to various degrees of competence. I have a flute I've never played lol. I really want to sharpen my skills in composition and piano performance at this point (without sacrificing my time with the bass--it's the only instrument that's made me any money haha).
