I did this music for my own flick.....

Sounds like erminator and 1990 NotlD music.

Many years ago, I was in a rock band that had some pretty heavy subject matter. I was so into it, that our first "demo" was a full-length concept album. The experience was completely draining as it was so personal, and eventually I couldn't continue performing the songs I wrote. The band broke down partly due to this and mostly due to issues from living together.

I got back into writing music about a year ago after a hiatus of about 6 years. The music I'm writing is quite different from the gothic industrial type of stuff I wrote back in the day. I nearly have a whole album completed in my head, I just don't have enough time and energy to figure out all of the notation fast enough. I basically just use a synthesizer and Cubase. I can't play guitar too well, but I know music theory pretty well.

So, I wonder who else here has tried or is trying to write a song? What inspires you? What are your tools of the trade?

I figured out how to play La Cucaracha on the piano for my cockatiel....

So we just released our debut EP yesterday. You can listen via my sig or just click below!

I listened to the first track so far. I like where it's going but I need to take the time to give it my full attention. My rug rats aren't giving me that time right now.

Last night, I typed out a bunch of lyrics and filled in a lot of gaps. I've now finished up to track #8 of my concept album. 3 more tracks to go and I'm done. Then I'll have to really make some time work out the notation on my keyboard, do some demos, then find musicians to record the real tracks with. Unless I can really get moving on this, I don't think this can be completed until sometime in 2014. I could set this aside for now and just work on a few of my other songs for an EP but it's hard to carry around an entire album in my head for so long. I need to get it out!

Thanks and let me know what you think when you do get the chance to listen through

Wish you good luck with getting your album done - I know the feeling when it comes to carrying music around in your head! Need to get it all out somehow

It's pretty solid. The song writing, the performance, the mix are all well done. Keep it up, I'd like to hear more.
