Playing Without Ear Beethoven's Challenge

Author Comments

Something that's been in my head for a while, but I thought I'd share it with you. As many of you know, Ludwig Van Beethoven is one of the greatest classical musicians in the world. Next to Bach and Mozart. Now one thing that is very commonly known is that Beethoven is deaf and the fact that he is able to compose music in spite of that, just shows another reason to why he such a legend in the business.


To celebrate his genius I came up with a crazy idea. Now this applies to musicians of all genres, but it's an especially big challenge for midi makers like myself and others who write and make music by playing by ear.


The challenge is this: Try to make music without hearing it. This could be done many ways. Such as strumming chords on a guitar with ear muffs on, or for midi makers like myself, simply mute your computers and put random notes on where you see fit. Then when all is done, post it on here and listen to it for the first time. This is a for fun challenge. Has no rules other than that.


I have made this, but up until I posted it I didn't listen once. So for all I know I could have made something great or made a spectacular mess. Either way you decide.
