Making
up music from one's imagination is a whole different ball game than
writing down music created by others. There's a set of
problems that has to be overcome in order to create music,
and one has to cultivate the requisite confidence to fly in the face of
those problems. It's an ongoing struggle, because as the
composer learns more music, he also learns what he should be doing
better, and it all turns into a mountain of work.
For your further enjoyment, I'm providing the list of links below; they go to the websites or web pages of other MIDI composers who take composition seriously and have the confidence to create music.
