Self nominating for underdog.
I have been making music officially since age 12 on a keyboard but have been sitting behind pianos from age 3 and up here and there. I have never taken any lessons so i got a definition handicap (dont know all the terms of music) but i am very well educated in the logic of classical music such as bach used also known as the divine proportion/measure by wich a mathematical system gives you insight in wich tones fit together in certain situations allowing artistic composing such as counterpuntal music (wich happens to be my favorite, but have only recently (last year) started actually executing it, before that i only made flat out melodical compositions)
For program music, im into this since the year 1998 but has been most active around 2002 when i was just living on my own in a room with only a matress, a television and a playstation (the first one).
The only thing i did all day long was make music on music® for the playstation and i have made over 500 original compositions, and perhaps about 50 additional cameo's on games such as the deus ex theme, zelda and even final fantasy 10-2's 'party' (the jazz version)
One of my greatest assets in making music is that i have the both blessing and curse of being able to 'hear' music in my head in full detail after only having 'actually heard it once or twice. This is also helpful when i compose music on the piano wich i do just as often because i dont need a music sheet, someone can play a piece of bach for me, then go downstairs to get a cup of coffee and when he came back i am able to play all they have played and sometimes even more (because i remember the track from sometime that ive heard it wich is exactly the way i learned bachs prelude.)
I also said its a curse because i often cannot get a piece out of my head, and trust me.. i dont listen to modern music so imagine having a complete symfony in your head with all the instruments in full detail, playing again and again and again, you wake up with it in your head, and you go to sleep with it in your head. I can take it with classical music, last time i listened to something else i almost did go mad. (in this case the track 'got to be there' from the jackson 5... im never going to listen to popular music again lol, the track was stuck in my head 'playing' all day long for 4 days without end and im not making this up.
I can understand that not all people like the kind of music i make, afterall i do not use fruity loops very long and ive never used anything else but music for the playstation for wich ive taken a major liking (program wise, since i play the piano, ofcourse alot different but still) I do not even like cd quality to be honest, im in love with the crackle of records and the crisp of tapes just like how i like my house, creaky wood.
I guess im a bit oldschool and all natural, the more hifi the less i like the music. So when listening to my work please keep in mind, its the composition that counts, not the quality.
Hope this is sufficient information for this underdog thing.
Atleast thanks for reading and if there are grammatical errors. Its allright; im dutch.
