Still better than me, at least you can play a woodwind instrument.
I used to animate flash cartoons as a teen, but now I compose contemporary orchestral and classical music. Instruments I Play Guitar, Ukulele, and Clarinet/Bass Clarinet.

I can squeak on a woodwind instrument ;) Oh well, it just takes practice and time. Say, do you play any instruments or are you a Fruity Loops genius?
Both really. I taught myself piano and guitar only recently. I have no knowledge in any form of theory. I play by ear and instinct.
Which probably explains the fluidity of your work. It's good to know theory, but sometimes it can feel a little caging trying to keep key signatures and tempos in mind unless you REALLY know your theory and can intelligently decide how to properly notate some crazy idea.
Learning about modal interchange and atonality, things that make music more flexibility, can sometimes be about as frustrating as high school algebra. Honestly, from the sound of your music your instincts prove well anyhow. Good for you on having an ear for catchy tunes. I wish I had that :)

I see it at last. I remember you told me about it. All the very best with it!

Thank you :) It's weird though, unlike guitar or piano, each and every five notes or so is like a whole new challenge. Imagine playing an adventure game, but to get into each room you need a key which is within reach but constantly being yanked by that GEICO fisherman (it's an old commercial in America but definitely on YouTube). It's a slightly different air flow for every set of notes and, honestly, it's frustrating. Of course, figuring it out is satisfying but requires patience like no other instrument.
