Hi guys,

This is a really silly post and idea I've gotten on this random Friday evening, but....I'd love to write some short pieces of music (min 30sec; max 1min) for some random redditors in the comments. I will just pick and choose the ones that stick out to me best. I may regret doing this, but oh well; truck it.

If any of you are interested, please provide me with some of the following details below about yourself! Any of this can be fake or troll, since I am going to pick and choose the comments anyway, but please do try and keep the responses brief!

Format your comment with the following:

1. A First Name
2. 1 min of your favorite piece of music (only one; if it's a very long work, put only a youtube link with a timestamp of up to a minute, like this: [1:05:45 - 1:06:45] )
3. Your favorite emotion
4. Your favorite instrument within a string quintet
5. A memorable detail (choose only one):
   1. Something you love sharing about yourself
   2. A random fact that lives rent free in your head
   3. A piece of art you really like (link a picture)
   4. Something you value that can be summed in a singular idea (type it out or link a picture)

For context, I am just a random lurker and hermit composer on this subreddit who composes for a hobby. I am doing this just to have an excuse to compose, since I haven't done it in quite a few weeks due to lack of time.

My goal isn't primarily to receive feedback, but to give myself reasons to exercise composition and to write something that hopefully the selected redditor patrons like. Obviously, since this reddit, you all are free to give feedback about important technicalities, but just keep in mind that my main goal is for my patron to at least appreciate the song. Since I am too terrified to write for my IRL friends, I hope to get more practice writing some music for random but REAL people instead of just for myself or IRL patrons, and hope I learn and discover if I enjoy writing music for other people better than for myself.

I am giving myself a deadline of approx. one hour to write each reply...but I might stretch it to two hours depending on how the first one goes. I am thinking I can finish at least one snippet per day since I have done it a few times before. I am looking to finish these by next Sunday (roughly a week from now).

If your comment is selected, I will reply to your comment in this post and create a link to a new post in r/composer that will have:

1. audio (mp3 cuz storage is expensive) of your snippet of music and
2. a full score
3. a link back to your original comment and
4. a link back to this post
