Your classic introduction (with a twist) topic. What instruments do you play, or what do you want to start playing?

Played trombone and tuba for a couple years each. I've taken a liking to composing these days, which often feels like playing a whole orchestra as an instrument. 🙃

Composing is being on a whole different level with how you approach music! And with the availability of software instruments it has become within reach of a single person to create like that.

Yeah, it's definitely more puzzle than improvisation. I think, it mainly feels like playing a whole orchestra to me, because trombone and tuba are so limited in what you can do on your own, since you just cannot produce intervals then. And then as you say, being able to just write down that I'd like a beautiful chord progression, that is very powerful and fun.
