I’ll share some of my creations later on.</p>http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/70214700http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/70214700Tue, 13 Jan 2009 10:50:00 -0500<p>As a composer, my biggest challenge is being able to translate melodies and accompaniments I hear in my head into an MP3 that I can give someone. I wish there was a little guy inside my head capturing all my musical thoughts.  My mind moves a million times faster than my ability to create.</p> <p>Since I don’t have that little guy in my head, here’s how I’ll turn my thoughts into that MP3 I keep promising everyone.</p> <ol> <li> <b>Garageband.</b> I can’t play every instrument but I can hear how they fit together. Garageband is simple enough for me to use, and it allows me to create layered arrangements with a wide variety of instruments.</li> <li> <b><a target="_blank" title="Fantastic Saxaphone Player" href="http://www.jason-omara.com">Jason O’Mara</a>.</b> Jason O’Mara is one of the best saxaphone players in Philadelphia. He can also arrange and compose in a manner that strongly complements the sound of any project he’s involved with.</li> <li> <b>Philly’s Finest Musicians.</b> At lease once a month, I rehearse with some of the most talented musicians in Philadealphia. I plan to turn these rehearsals into live performances soon.</li> <li> <a target="_blank" title="Google Docs" href="http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=Cr37_bHprSZXNLJDC8QSj37zpDJGY9n21waHNDJj02pUICAAQAVD_2Pax-_____8BYMn2pozQpOQPoAHH2I_8A8gBAaoEE0_QB8-9gaTItm8sj8yuSuV6KOg&sig=AGiWqtz_bCTZRnu5SdFUK-8w8uAe4ukk0w&q=https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin%3Fservice%3Dwritely%26passive%3Dtrue%26continue%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fdocs.google.com%252F%26ltmpl%3DWR_tmp_2_lfty%26nui%3D1%26utm_campaign%3Den%26utm_source%3Den-ha-na-us-bk%26utm_medium%3Dha%26utm_term%3Dgoogle%2520docs"><b>Google Docs</b></a><b>.</b> Google docs the perfect place to store all of your written thoughts.

I’m talking about music videos, live performances, albums…you  name it. YouTube constantly inspires me. I can’t count the number of <a target="_blank" title="Stevie Wonder Drumming (Live)" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFCyjB75cjs">Stevie Wonder</a> clips I’ve viewed on YouTube.</li> <li>I know I’m forgetting something….</li> </ol>http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/69999849http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/69999849Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:21:00 -0500<p>Welcome to my world of music. One of my New Year’s resolutions was to release an album. I’m hoping all of you can help me accomplish this goal.</p>http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/69880085http://blog.iqrammusic.com/post/69880085Sun, 11 Jan 2009 22:32:00 -0500
