Poetry, Art, Music, and other creative things...

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard][quote=DillButt64] also Bard thats good =o i have yet to put any music to my songs but a lot of my things are very depressing and personal but you should post them :D cuz im weird and like the depressing sad stuff [/quote] I'm glad you think so...my college oboe teacher told me that oboe solo was terrible xD when I was writing some of my more depressing poetry I was effectively having a long-term case of composer's block...I would open up my composing program and stare at the blank staff for hours and be completely unable to write anything...it was like the music in my head was gone (was going through a tough time, my freshman year of college was a complete fiasco). Things are better now...I still get blocks at times (hence unfinished piano music), but for the most part I can usually write a lot more.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i get so many blocks D: i have so many unfinished songs its just not even funny v_v i have like bits and pieces of songs but only a few finished ones[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I generally take time to finish music, but I don't always get an actual block. I try to write with guitar too, but I'm an abysmal guitar player xD[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i only own guitars but i used to have a bass and i was good with it and im sure i could write bass parts to song but i cannot do drums ever x.x i took a music theory class and played the baritone through middle and high school so ive got enough musical knowledge to write...but i just get blocks so much[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]my mom has a really nice classical guitar she's had since she was in HS...since I'm living at home I can play with it if I like.... I played oboe in HS...I was actually going to major in oboe performance (worst idea ever)...I basically haven't touched my oboe in over a year at this point...even though it's a really nice instrument... Ever played with Finale? I've been using it to write music since I was 13 or so (though the stuff I wrote when I was 13 is really bad). Finale notepad is $10 to download, I think...it's pretty basic, but it works...[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i used it a few times at school and i really like it but ive always preferred using actual staff paper and writing it down...which is weird since i have the handwriting of a third grader[/quote]

[quote=The_Nameless_Bard]I like to write complicated stuff that all fits together into one thing...I love writing music for large ensembles (orchestra, band, and such) and choirs, for example... I can write it out most of the time, but I use finale for ease more than anything else.[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]yeah for bigger pieces with more parts it makes sense to use that but if yer just doing like one instrument then handwritten just feels better[/quote]

[quote=Mooninites]i play a seagull s6 original [IMG]http://www.citymusic.dk/acoustics/seagull/seagull_s6_original_qi.jpg[/IMG] but anyways, ya I write a lot of poetry, perhaps I'll post some more at a later time[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i shall post pictures of my babies since moon did [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/35jf5fq.jpg[/IMG] and yes that is an air mattress i took this picture when i moved into this house[/quote]
