A Musical Quilt

If there was a "Write" way to go about "Righting" a song, then I somehow surely must have missed it.  Those who know the secret of successful song synthesis, are not only on the money.gif"payroll", but they seem to magically and efortlessly spill out song after song. flat.gif

Does a composer hear it then lay it down, or is it perhaps they exact opposite way all around.  Is a composition written, for the satisfaction of the writer, and then happens to please the listener, or is the "great" songwriter intentionally giving other "ears" just what they want to hear?

Because there seems to be a "Right" way to "Write a song, and I haven't got a clue, I have often wonder, what methods do YOU use? music_e0.gif MetroLgBlk.gif

Is it about improvisation, and then some recalculation, or more about systematic and intentional motives, melody, and harmonization? comp013.gif media025.gif

 Blessed with a gift, a talent, or a muse, and surely there must be a template, a method that they use.

The color "red" has always been a favorite of mine, because of it's strength, warmth, audacity, intensity, flavor, and the way it sounds.  Red spills forth much meaning within the different shades from pink to maroon, and everthing along the way.
 
 
 

   
Photography and Fauxtography by Johnathan J. Stegeman/MidiMa...
To me Artwork is personal, flavorful, fun, and fulfilling.
It is about capturing a moment, a feeling, or an experience;
it is about the unique and the mundane, the extraordinary and
the simple and the plain.


Using a Canon Powershot 5 megapixel camera, with a 12X zoom,
I have captured a lot of shots in the past four years.
Further embellishing them in the digital domain, with programs
like iPhoto, and Photoshop, the amount of original images
that I have in my library is staggering.


While some old school photographers, as with any professionals
whose hard tedious tasks are replaced with technology, scoff at
digital technology from cameras to computers, I remain a purely
digital photographer, and artist. Now don't get me wrong here,
I don't mean to take away credit from those artists, who use other
techniques, nor do I claim that any method is better than the other.
Furthermore, I still have a lot to learn in my study of Graphic Arts,
Photography, Digital Imaging, Web Design, and other Visual Artistic
Crafts that may spur my interest along the way.


Please Enjoy My Work as much as I have enjoyed its capture and creation.
Keep in mind that its all just a glimpse of my inner imagination.


Sincerely,
MidiMacMan/Johnathan J. Stegeman
