If it's good enough for you then you should not give a flying fart what anyone else thinks.
My whole goal in composing is to share music that other people would really love. But, I suspect people are having too high of a standard which is preventing them from appreciating the greatness and catchiness of my tunes. Therefore, I'm asking others to lower their standards so they can appreciate my tunes. I think such a lowered standard is a reasonable standard.
Man, you've posted some ridiculous stuff on here but this one takes the proverbial cake. I'm thinking you've worn this handle out. How many have you burned through now? Four, five?
Let me try to illustrate my point here. I'm quite sure many people have listened to one of Beethoven's songs which begins with that famous and catchy:
"Bom bom bom booooooooooom. Bom bom bom boooooooooom."
Even though this portion of his song is just 4 notes repeated, it's still great. Of course, it isn't just the 4 notes repeated. There is also proper chords and whatnot to go along with that repeated 4-note melody. Now, even if Beethoven stopped there and decided to only share that, it would still be something great.
That repeated 4-note melody Beethoven has chosen obviously wasn't some basic, lame, mediocre tune. Anybody could choose a 4-note melody like Beethoven. But it takes a great artist to choose the right 4 notes that conveys something great.
For example, some lame, techno music producer could choose some 4-note melody to repeat and make into a fully crafted tune. But it wouldn't be anywhere near as good as Beethoven's 4-note craft.
I don't think I'm the equivalent of some lame composer choosing any old notes on the keyboard. I truly think I'm making an excellent choice of notes that I have yet to make into a full craft. These fully crafted tunes should be something very good and catchy.
The theme in the intro of Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven is not great. It is just sounds. The gratenes of the Allegro con brio is how he uses this theme. If you learn music you hear how he twist it thought the first part. That is great music.
And if you vant go make music for others. Research what they like. Not doin that is disrespect. If you want to sell anything you make yourself, make what people want. If somebody hire you to make a metal tune for them and you give then somethin else, you wont get paid. And your not a good composer. Not even decent one.
If you show your music to others the first thing you need to do is try to understand what was suksessfull and what's not. Even the greatest composer did change their composition after feedback from the audience. Saying audience are wrong are not only dumb, but rude. You are insulting their taste of music.
But I heard that greatness is entirely subjective when it comes to music. So, if a person sees one simple tune as great and catchy, then, to that person, it would be great and catchy. But, someone who sees it as nothing good or catchy wouldn't be anything good or catchy for that person. My point is, if I wish to create music that pleases many people, then my music would have to be fully crafted songs that meet their expectations.
But, if I only wish to please a crowd who appreciates simple, good, catchy tunes, then I don't need to create fully crafted songs. Any fully crafted melodies I share should be good enough. So, for some people, that 4-note melody of Beethoven's which you said is just sound would, in fact, be good enough for some people. Now, I will definitely consider creating fully crafted songs. As a matter of fact, I think I will do that someday when I become a skilled and educated composer.
