I wrote a song! I wrote a song!

😛

I finished a piece of music using an interesting computer tool called Open Mod Plug Tracker. So far, I’m just using the default MIDI library for my samples – I haven’t chopped up any music I like into finely ground little single note bits to reassemble. But so far, the results are auspicious, especially since I’ve been out of practice in the musical world for almost 8 years.

A Brief Introduction to my Musical World

I have been surfing youtube for music for a bit over two years now, and I’ve come across a *ton* of modern music that is absolutely wonderful (as well as a lot of crap – Sturgeon’s law applies, but the diamonds are worth the dross). The rabbit hole goes much deeper than just this, and there are other styles I’ve found that I have taken a liking to, but this is a sample of some of the music I’ve come to enjoy that may be unusual or hard to find for beginners.

The modern musical world online is extremely vibrant. One interesting aspect of this (Homestuck in particular) is that a lot of this music is made by independent music fans using nothing but a computer, contributing to a shared world.
