Writing Music

Writing music is a blessing. Creating beautiful is like nothing else in this world. One can compose something simple, complex, soft, striking, or etc. The limit does not exist. I enjoy writing music that has a musical feel to it. At the present moment, I am writing my own musical and it has to do with Hell. The gist of the plot is that a girl goes to Hell and she meets all these weird people there. It's a comedy and she encounters gangsters, whores, hard-core gamblers, fraud criminals among others. She doesn't feel comfortable at all in Hell, and the people that live in her apartment complex are barely friendly to her. She has to get food somehow, so she decides to work for the KGB officers there. Eventually, she discovers through her work at the office that someone in her area is not supposed to be in Hell. In the end, God summons the girl to her gates and the girl becomes the next God. God had sent her there as a test to see if she could survive "Hell-month."

So right now, I am trying to write music for this musical. It must be dark and innovative while some songs must be enlightening. I just hope that I can finish it in time so that the school can perform the musical. Also, I hope that by writing this musical I can produce something that changes people. I hope that the show can be like the show "Wicked" in some ways. "Wicked" takes simple ideas and turns them into great morals. This play has music that is innovative and is unlike most other genres. I hope I cannot recreate Wicked, but create something just as different as "Wicked."

Right now, my electric piano is broken, so it is very hard to write music. Thus, I am just using the computer program I have called "Sibelius." It is quite interesting to write music on as well because of its playback feature. All of the instruments play back as if someone was really playing that instrument. However, I must type in the notes if I want to hear them, instead of playing on the piano. Also, on the piano, I can experiment with chords to a greater degree, and I can do it much more efficiently. No matter what, writing music is something I wish I had more time to do and perfect, despite the mechanism by which I do it.
