Who of you is a composer ?

I’m a pianist too, but my tunes almost never start at the keys. Like you, the ideas pop up while I’m walking the dog, stuck in line at the grocery store, or half-awake at 3 a.m. I’ve learned to treat my phone like a butterfly net: the second I hear something in my head, I hum it into a voice-note app before it flutters away. Later, when I’m back at the piano or in a DAW, I flesh out the harmony, tweak the groove, and build the arrangement Instrument by instrument.

Thats good. I´m also a pianist but never ever do I compose from the keys. I believe that composing is completly diferent from playing. It´s like you say, you hear sounds, some tunes I dream and if I´m lucky I memorize them when I get up. 

 

I even think that there is always music in my head, when I get to catch a taste of sleep (I´m a quite sleepless person). 

Also....women may inspire me, I see a beautiful woman and have a melody goin´in my head. That´s how I rote the title tune on the album last year for my then wife, now ex-wife. And last nite I got a fine idea of a song for my actual love. And dig that: It´s in eb-minor ! Nice tune with a 16 beat feeling in it (kind of slow funk or call it anythin´). It will be on our next album, but not as the title tune, which I already have fixed. 

the only downer is, I´m not a good notes writer. Most time I get some music student, give him 200, make him happy and got a kid who writes the shit down for me.
