I am a scientist who started composing music as a hobby in 2013. I have not studied composition and do not approach it analytically, only intuitively. I took piano lessons in my childhood and teens, but spent most of my adult life without playing piano until 2013. So far I have composed mostly for piano, in a polyphonic style that borrows from the Baroque as well as the Romantic spirit. I describe my style as "Baroquemantic". 

Most of my piano pieces are easy to play.  Some are very easy to play.  

All of my pieces rely on 2 or more concurrent melodies (counterpoint).

"There is no beauty in music itself. The beauty is within the listener."
Igor Stravinski
 
Or, as a Portuguese guy named "Carlos Miguel" wrote on YouTube:
"...a boa música é como as boas palavras, depende de quem as diz e de quem as ouve...podem não vir a ser nada e podem ser tudo...ou ambas as situações em simultâneo...genial também é quem ouve...pelo seu modo de ouvir... e não só quem  compõe...pelo seu modo de compor...Carlos Miguel"

This is my messy workspace for experiments and works in progress. Please comment! I appreciate your feedback!

A composer, keyboardist, vocalist, artist, and writer. Mostly inspired by rock and metal, but because I have no genre loyalty, I'm influenced by a little of everything, eventually. Always looking to collaborate and on writing and playing, and most certainly on recording.
