I studied classical music composition and have still written music while working as a software developer. I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer. Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super har…

The organ piece is really good (Mäntä), sounds like it was live recorded? Very nice!

Thank you!

Yeah, indeed it was a live recording. It's dedicated to my good friend who was organist and passed away while I was writing the piece.

I make something like indie pop rock. Somewhat sadly, my favorite song of mine is now 10 years old:

I more recently put a song on Spotify. I'm somewhat happy with it, but the vocal lacks confidence vs the first one imo:

Having critiqued myself as above, my next one will have a more confident vocal. Here's a tiny clip:

If the terrans from Starcraft were less war-prone and more into mild psychadelics. Very nice!

I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet... With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords yo…

This is cool, I made a similar command line tool for generating the same sort of thing:

I have an on/off electronic music project that spawned out of the witch house scene back in 2010. I haven’t released anything for a while but I’m still making stuff occasionally. Hoping to get something new out this year at some point...

I especially like your guitar riffs and wish they were louder in the mix.

I’ve been recording for a couple of years except last year was really difficult and am slowly picking it back up. Here’s something I recorded in the past and you can check other stuff on my SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/pablo-garcia-141/demo-11

That's not bad at all. I guess these are your own vocals? The track captures the dream pop vibe well.

Here's an album I made with Haskell (TidalCycles) and SuperCollider! Isohedra has groovy, moody and minimal beats - I heard it's good for concentration.

I've been at it for some time but this is my first code-generated release.
