[COMPOSERS] - Revival, new feature, and improvements !
13 years ago
General
Looking for a place to chat? Join us at #composers on FurNet!
I have been thinking about composers. A lot. The group is dying for two years now, being nothing but a list, since 
fluffycroc's depature. I have been doing the same job as before (adding people to the lists, answering notes), but since no one really wrote the journals or the spotlights (idea 
recycled), the interest for the group, following natural laws, has decreased drastically.
To be honest, being the only admin in a group no one truly follows was not really fun. Only one to blame though is me, for I haven't done the others admins' work when they leaved.
But no, clearly no, I don't want the first composers group of FA to die, so I think it's time to rise again and react !
First of all, I asked
asianeko if she was okay if composers could start making our own spotlight.
"what? Why making a spotlight when there's already one at ?" you could wonder.
The reason is, that we would orientate this spotlight exclusively to original compositions (no cover, remix, re-arrangements...)
You already know the categories, and you're very likely to be registered in one of them if you watch us ! Here is a little reminder !
Classical
Electro
Folk and Pop
Rock and Metal
Keyboards (acoustic)
Game and Movie (8-bits or acoustic)
Jazz and Blues (acoustic)
Hip-Hop / Urban / RnB
New Age
Undefined / Other
This spotlight, as it was originally planned back in 2009 when the group was born, is planned to be mensual and will feature 3 musicians per section.
Also, one of you - that's right, YOU - will interviewed and featured as composer of the month. This will hopefully help people with less attention to get what they deserve
In complement of this, topics will also be created so people can discuss, exchange ideas and tips. Those will be sorted by genre, of course, but also per DAWs, productions techniques, etc....
The album list is also on the way to be greatly improved, and updated regulary !
To close the list of new features, I'm considering making tutorials for compositions, music theory, and such things. Those will probably come in september, though !
Oh, and by the way, in order to help me with all of those things, I needed someone. That's why I'm very glad to announce our fellow lynx-boy as new admin of the group :
luchs !
fluffycroc, 
equium and 
dolphinboy are gone, that's true, but composers will live !
First spotlight opens in 5 days, the 15th, and will be featured for march ! Until then, keep up the great work !

and yes I do, although I have a few covers, but mostly its original stuff ^^
I look forward to it!
Sorry bout that, folks. Life has kept me extraordinarily busy. So hard to find time to make my music.
But sorry if I let my furry musical friends down.
Hopefully things will change for musicians !
Hopefully, our policy will enable a different set
le sigh
:D
I followed Composers ages ago when I first began looking for other original artists. There was not much activity then, and I felt overwhelmed by the lists and trying to figure out how to classify myself when I created music for multiple categories. It would be awesome to see this group resurrect and start bringing more material to FA.
Up until now I have only posted original music, and there is more in development. I can't wait to see what these spotlights will bring us!
Onward with audio awesomeness!
Also, I'm pretty sure I told you when we first chatted that I remembered you from the watch list of composers. Anyway, here I am
The second will feature works since 2010 (you can submit your 2010 music even if it hasn't been spotlighted on the first), etc... Until 2013, where only music of the month will be allowed as entry !
I'm kinda stoked to see this.
All of it, really.
But the problem with theory, once people masterize it, the music doesn't sound as good as when they were completely ignorant. It lacks emotion, and most of time, I see majors in music doing piece of shit because theory focused. And theory must always be adjusted to the piece.
I'll consider making class for classical harmony, maybe jazz (though I am not a jazz composer, I did study the theory) and maybe
