Hi there, I wonder how you personally compose your music. As for myself, I sometimes make a few sketches by hand in my free time - sometimes even in school - without using and instrument (I could upload some pics if you're interested), and they sound mostly as I intended. The actual complete score I write on the computer, with the keyboard on my side. I actually can write without an instrument, but it's much more safe to really listen to it at once, fully orchestrated. I'm currently composing the score for 'Abicalypse', and I have made the sketches and themes by hand, but the final writing will be on the computer. How do you handle it (whether you're composing for film or not)?
