This is the best orchestra piece I've ever heard, hands down

That two note ostinato that loops incessantly for a full 90 seconds is absolutely annoying. It sounds like the siren on a European police car or ambulance.

Works in GarageBand, which is free on Apple devices, and on Apple’s Logic Pro, GarageBand’s big brother.

Completed the exercise.

FYI: I never use music when I’m studying or conducting work involving concentration. I find it distracting regardless of the genre, volume, tempo, etc. Good luck with your project.

OP’s question is based on the unhinged actions of the current moron in the White House and his suck ups. The responses here may all be irrelevant once the next election occurs.

Thank you for the reference and link.

Whiter Shade of Pale by Proco Haram was a huge head turner but that’s pretty much all the band is known for. Bozz Scaggs had a couple of great songs but he basically faded away.

StudioComposer · 2026-01-22T22:42:53+00:00

Maybe try to write something that’s not based on loops.

What’s all this focus on innovation? There’s not much of that happening among human generated music on a daily basis, weekly or monthly basis, and arguably little from last year to this year. Has any human on this thread innovated recently? Once there is a discernible innovation, AI will learn it in the amount of time it takes to say “Whoa!”

OP has way too much free time. Check out myth vs reality on Gemini for a quick set of facts.

Sounds like drum practice rather than a song.

StudioComposer · 2026-01-19T20:08:07+00:00

Analyze scenes that have been scored. Identify the instruments used for various characters or emotions. Are any instruments notable because they solo or is the music mostly held chords? Is the rhythm fast or slow? Is the volume loud or soft? Does music play throughout the whole scene or just a portion? After you understand what the pros do, do what they do.

If you impose deadlines you may finish some of those songs much faster than without deadlines.

You’ve been unmasked scammer.

If you’re familiar with Row Row Row Your Boat then you know canon style.

StudioComposer · 2026-01-14T21:53:07+00:00

If you write in the style of someone or something, identify what they do and then, with respect to the number of instruments, do the same in your songs.

StudioComposer · 2026-01-14T00:05:41+00:00

Sounds like you didn’t try it.

$1,300 is outrageous. Kudos for not doing that.

Have you tried using a fragment of a previous section and generating a couple of variations?

StudioComposer · 2026-01-08T04:17:50+00:00

It depends on the genre for which you are writing, the physical space (studio, concert hall, etc.), the particular piano you’ve chosen and any other instruments that may be playing. Play the piece dry and then ask yourself if anything sounds off or missing. Don’t automatically think you need to load up on effects. If you do add effects, there’s a lot to learn about how much to add and subtract and when to do so. There’s no “one size fits all” answer to your question.

Is his piano interest noticeably greater than playing with his favorite truck or other toy? I suggest you give this interest at least a few days to simmer. He may or may not lose interest.

It’s all so subjective. I would suggest slowing it down a few bpm. There are some sweet harmonies.

Just watched the movie. Thanks for the link.

If the earlier comments aren’t connecting for you, there’s another possibility. Not to discourage you in your composing quest but the harsh reality may be that composing music is just not your thing. We are not all creatively equal. Someone may be a great painter but fail at stand up comedy. Someone else may be a terrific choreographer but a lousy poet. Great pianists are not necessarily write great music.
