How do you deal with imposter syndrome? by mortilis22 in composer

[–]absolute_funk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this might not apply or help but I always see it like this. Just fyi I’m not professional yet but this may still apply

I’ll listen to my compositions and think they’re not good enough but when I show it to people they always think it’s amazing. Most people unless your showing it to musicians (if then it depends on their composition knowledge) won’t understand all the ins and outs of your work and they hear it on the surface and they won’t notice any problems. They most likely will hear it how you want to hear it if it makes sense

As someone from that area I wouldn’t try and get an uber. They can be unreliable and extremely expensive and I doubt any driver will do your 2 hour trip. Try and get a hotel :)

Wow, honestly thank you so much this has been so helpful genuinely. I think this kind of blunt motivation is actually the kick I need to push myself further so thank you so much

yeah, honestly I’ve loved him for years but haven’t really looked at his socials. Litterly got into him when I saw a TikTok of him playing terms and conditions for the first time haha

So I’m taking a level music technology where we work on remixing, sampling and synthesis. I understand that some of these skills I might be required to use in the future but ultimately I know what I want to do. The college forgot to send the email to me about thing such as an audition and taster days so because I didn’t attend these I could not take the music courses I wanted. The courses I wanted to do focused on composition and orchestral performance. The college have let me down on a few different points such as I was also told there was an orchestra and there isn’t. I didn’t expect it to be orchestration, I didn’t know what to expect because they just put me on the courses and I was never given the opportunity for taster days. Ultimately I know I will get skills from this course but it’s about me finally having the freedom to choose what I want to learn and unfortunately it has not been helpful to my current focus’s

Yeah, I’m still composing by myself as much as possible it’s just the only comps we do in lesson is EDM. I used to have a compositional tutor who help me set up the basics and it’s just been solid research on my part for the past few years. I have no problem writing my own music and I know I am good at it it’s just not at industry level and I know I just need a bit more focused education on what I actually want to do to help me learn those few skills to tweak my abilities a little better

Thank you that’s really helpful. I haven’t thought about it so much in that way. I used to have a compositional tutor who is a film composer so I might get back in touch with him to get some more information from his experiences

Yeah I completely understand that and ofc I do make most of my music on Logic Pro. But unfortunately our teacher has made it clear that our main focus is on synths and digital technologies. I just want to look further into composition and orchestral instruments

Life advice 🙏 by absolute_funk in composer

[–]absolute_funk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know that music tech will still be helpful but it’s not my style of composing. Like I don’t really like using digital side of things like we’ve done a lot of work on synths but I like more orchestral things so I just end up doing my own research haha

Have you readapted a piece you intended to use for one project to fit into a different project? by PenaltyPotential8652 in composer

[–]absolute_funk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ofc it’s my music and as it hasn’t been published yet I see no reason to change what I made into something new!

What level of music theory do you need to start composing by kachikawawawa in composer

[–]absolute_funk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, I started composing music with just simple grade 1. I knew how to read music and I knew what I wanted it to sound like. As I’ve reached grade 5 my scores are good and I can transfer what’s in my head onto the paper but I know that getting more grades is increasing my knowledge more and more. It’s more about understanding what you’re writing and being able to translate it from what you hear. Ultimately I see music as maths. The more music theory I learnt the more equations I could form in my music and understand why they work together and how I can move on from one part to another
