Since I can't seem to locate a thread like this...
Who here actually composes music? Not as in spinning, but actual composition, arranging? Remixing is good too. heart
I've got about 2-3 finished pieces and a whole bunch of projects. They're mostly trance/trancecore/freeform, but I've got some other stuff. Like that jazz piano + darkcore background + prog trance synths x 200 BPM piece, or the slow, classical piano + acid breakcore drumming/bass + nu-nrg background piece.
I tend to play around a bit, switching between genres mid-song, or suddenly slipping into 6/4 from 4/4 without warning. I also like taking other people's music and playing it in reverse. Sandstorm sounds so much more repetitive played backwards.

I do all of the above. Not a whole lot of composing anymore, but I used to do it quite a bit.
I'm also looking to get into composition for films...

Composing? Meh, I dabble in it a bit but nothing really to solid. I have about 2 finished original songs I acutally like and am working on Remixing some others (does his composing on the PS2 and Comp). So yeah...*wanders off*

I've dabbled with a few jazz pieces/creations of my own...and improvising on jazz charts is always fun.
Never really did try to produce some electronica.
Layra-Chan: The tracks you put up are entertaining but you have something really wierd going on with the timing/rhythms in the tracks...It's like some wierd triple rhythm or somehow you were able to manage to put a 4/4 over a 5/4 and thus it's not inline with everything. It feels as if things are rushed, there's a LOT of clapping on the off beats which makes it sound a little icky or to...Jammy.
The same kick bass drum seems to be in heavy track also
The cheering in The Darkness is a little annoying - especially since it's the same 3-10 second clip redone over and over.
However, the Darkness is the best track you have on there. Except it's mislabled as Trance where it should really be Techno or something (it's REALLY repetative).
Like I said...on the other one, Techno War, there's some serious timing issues that make it sound twitchy actually. If you did put a 4/4 on a 5/4 or a 5/4 on a 4/4 They're doing really bad synching. Or, the rhythms are not too agreeable. (Sixteen note triples followed up by an Eight note triplet or something?).
No offense, just constructive criticism.

Hmm. Sounds fine to me, all 4/4, thoguh I guess Darkness should be labelled Techno. I really can't tell anymore. It might sound a bit strange because of all of the levels of syncopation, but it really is 4/4, although the drumming in Darkness doubles in bpm (95 to 190, to match up with the melodies and bassline) at some point, and then becomes a breakbeat at another. I guess it might be because of the syncopated synths.
And I would have gotten other cheering, but I'm sort of short on resources (resources being soundclips)
If that's bothering you, I guess maybe I shouldn't upload Your Betrayal. Several points are 6/4 pretending to be 4/4. It even drives me insane.
But the rest of them are regular, just highly syncopated.

I've dabbled in production, mostly what i do is hard and detroit techno, and the majority of it is done on the fly using only a ghetto assed drum machine i found online and used as filler in techno mixes. so yeah i suck.

I do all my music with 2 keyboards, years of experience, and inspiration from other electronica artists. I just don't know what to name myself yet... xp

Excuse me my dear, but according to your profile, you are 13.
I'm not saying you can't make music, or make it well. I'm just saying that you can't really have had that many years of experience. neutral

It really depends, actually. I've met this kid, ten years old, composes absolutely breathtaking fugues for string quintets. And he's adorable, too. A bit standoffish, but given the publicity he gets, that's probably a natural response.
But he's ten years old and he composes FUGUES!!!
Do you know how incredible that is?!!!

Didn't say she couldn't do it, just that she couldn't have had many years of experience. There are lots of prodigy type kids who make amazing music.

Well, the point I'm making is that considering that the kid was making fugues, he's probably has several years of experience, despite being only ten. I could have had years of experience when I was thirteen, as I had a six-years-older musician for a brother and had started taking piano lessons when I was five, but I was lazy and impatient. Give Laurylina some credit, or at least the benefit of the doubt.
