This differs from /prod/ in that it is more focused on the actual writing of music, not the production. That is not to say /prod/'s electronic music is unwelcome, by all means, post here! But post with the intent on discussing composition. And remember, this is NOT /classical/. Any music, such as jazz, pop, rock, country, electronic etc. is acceptable
Post clyps and accompanying notation so we can give accurate feedback.

THE /comp/ COMPOSITION CHALLENGE #3 METERS July 8st - July 15rd
Compose a short piece (around 1 to 2 minutes) with three distinct meters in any instrumentation. Treat these time signatures as meters, rather than just throwing in a different time signature for a bar or two for phrasing purposes. Consider making your meters distinct by considering whether the time signatures you choose are duple or triple; simple, compound or complex/irregular. BONUS CHALLENGE: Make at least one section of your piece polyrhythmic/polymetric
Post WIPs, talk about things to consider when changing meters, post pieces that have strong metric changes, post polyrhythmic pieces.

Glad I could help! ideas are the currency of composition

Anyway here's a phone recording of an improvisation of the piano with it's lid up, well it still sounds like shit but at least it's tastier shit.
I didn't have much time to put into this, so it's kind of a sloppy mix and performance. It's a few classical guitar parts with some midi strings underneath. Starts in 3/4, goes to a 2 over 3 polyrhythm, and ends in 5/4
Fucking nice dude, awesome playing. Makes me wish I never gave up piano. I stopped lessons at 13, and now after a decade I can only muster up baby-tier improvs
