I am an an amateur composer. I started composing electronic music at the age of 18 with Fruityloops (now FL Studio). Initially, I started composing electronic music/techno but soon got bored with the 4/4 rythms and limited opportunities to develop themes and melodies. I then turned to classical music and started to learn to play the piano. Since then, I compose on FL Studio using sound libraries such as EastWest's Platinum Orchestra and Edirol Orchestral. My biggest sources of inspiration are great classical music composers: the obvious Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms... and also Dvorak, Martinu, Stravinsky, Holst, Saint-Saens, Grieg, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and many more. I have never formally taken any classes in composition. I mostly learned by myself, by example from other composers and by feel.
