@musicweeklies has, as their latest challenge, the theme of #BackOn. After trying, unsuccessfully, to come up with a song that *sounded* like the theme, I shifted to the theme's relevance in my life. As the small #HandChimes group I play with is getting *back on* track, I decided to take a shot at creating a song that would be playable by a group like ours, made up of mostly novice/sporadic chime ringers, with only 12 chimes.

Wake

A little bit late, but here’s my take on the @musicweeklies #BackOn theme (Getting out of sleep mode) ^^

Thought of alarm clocks and repeatedly snoozing and having trouble getting out of bed… x)

100% done on the #Woovebox

@moonrabbit When I was in mental health crisis recently, it was my music, specifically the project I was working on for @musicweeklies, that helped keep me going. I wanted to finish it, adding the bits that randomly came to me while I had nothing better to do than come up with stuff.

This is something I started about a week ago for @musicweeklies's #Fresh #composition theme. I didn't quite get it done as early as I'd hoped, but here you go. If anyone wants to use it for an instrumental bed or anything, feel free; I just ask that I be credited if you do.

@jvw @tarrenvane @musicweeklies ROFL! It does have a kind of go-getter vibe, doesn't it? I ironically composed the bridge to that, and adjusted some of the rhythms on the rest, during the part of this week when I could hardly do much of anything. Fun fact: to engrain the start of the bridge in my memory, I had to etch it into a styrofoam cup with my fingernail.

If you like eclectic music, check out my Bandcamp page: tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com… I'm steadily adding stuff from my old soundcloud.com/terrencevane page, as well as new content inspired by the themes from @musicweeklies. And, if you hear something you like and want a custom track in the same style, get in touch and we can make it happen.

I'm a nonbinary, autistic+ADD, blind composer, and I write pieces between spending time with my partner and working as an English teacher to help keep the lights on. I moved to Davenport in 2014, and live in a too-big duplex with my partner, our German Shepherd mix who is in training as a service dog, a crazy budgie named Peetie, and Oreo the bunny, who just wants to be left to his own devices.

I've talked about doing the @musicweeklies challenges, and I've created an album for all the compositions I've made for the themes so far. The album will be updated as more themes are tackled. Check out https://tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com/album/weeks-go-by-weekly-challenges-accepted to follow my thematic journey.

I posted the entire album yesterday, but this, specifically, is the latest bit I did for the @musicweeklies challenge of this week: #Reveal. So click here to find out what this simple little melody will reveal by the end of the song: https://tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com/track/revelation-in-a-minor

Created this for @musicweeklies's #Dungeon challenge. I kinda see the tenor/bass section as the dark necromancers or wizards or whatever and the higher voices as more the adventurers. https://tarrenvanettinger.bandcamp.com/track/of-wizards-and-bards
