) because I've only played since I was 20.
I've never actually written anything down on sheet music (except to figure out how to play something from an mp3), but I do like to mess around a lot.
Anyway, here's a raw one-shot of me screwing around in C minor (recorded with Anvil Studio, a free prog, for those who care). I KNOW the melody needs work, that's because I'm basically making it up as I go (see the above line about not using sheet music). The chord progressions I've done before, but I can't really switch from one to another fast enough on the fly to keep it from being repetitive. All qualifiers aside, here's something I'd actually like to refine and maybe make into a piece. First though, I need some input (what sounds good, what doesn't, that kind of thing). This is especially true if you are a musician and/or know a thing about chords, scales, and melodies. If not, general impressions, and even broad adjectives (slower, darker, more upbeat, etc.) would be nice.
And, for everyone who's MIDI sequencer sounds terrible (or you can't listen to midis at all for some reason), well, I'm sorry. Anyway, enjoy.
P.S. To all you keyboardists, or those otherwise proficient in MIDI...why haven't I heard any of your stuff yet? Now get to recording, I don't want to be the only person posting stuff!
EDIT: I just listened to that on my computer's MIDI player, and I think I'm realizing why MIDI just isn't a supported file extension. It doesn't sound good. For those of you that actual have midi cables and a keyboard that supports GM, just hook that up as your midi out and then trying playing it. It sounds a lot better that way IMO.
