Am certain that your music probably is as good, as great, or even better than 95% of popular "serious" music. The only reason that it may not last is because you have not had the good fortune, or the means, to have it published, to have it performed countless times, and played hundreds of times by orchestras which have perfected each and every nuance of the piece, over and over again, until ..... Eureka! People can hum along, and then they realize "Hey, this is pretty good".
That is probably the only real difference, IMO.
On the other hand, we seem to have enough music. I get the feeling that there is nothing so useless as another composer. So, we do it cause we have to, cause we need to, cause we love it. Sometimes we have a few people who love it too.
Have you tried writing music for video? That makes a good math for repeated hearings and familiarity.
Music is effective in video too. Best to you, Hiro, and keep writing. tim On Mar 27, 2008, at 2:18 PM, A-NO-NE Music wrote:
