I can't remember when I last logged on this forum, but a ton has happened since then.

In July 2015 I went out of town on a casino junket and lost all my money, becoming stranded on the streets of a small city I knew little about. I spent four days at a homeless shelter before finding a way to get back to my residence.

I received assistance from my brother in arranging for a reassessment at the same (huge) mental health facility where I originally received my diagnosis in 1991. It's been a long 24 years since a reassessment and it's about time. The intake appointment is later this month.

I became interested, serially, in functional programming (Haskell and OCaml), computer science, writing systems, and finally music. I obtained a copy of MuseScore, which is a free software for creating and playing music. I'm now reading up on music theory.

Here are the fruits of my latest obsession on SoundCloud:

How has everyone else been?
 
Your music is most delightful. I compose as well, but have only finished a few of all that I started.

Thanks. I'd like to hear some of your work or at least see the manuscripts for my education. (You never stop learning when making music.)

I could PM the music to you when I figure out a way to share it.

And that is very true.

I normally upload audio files to SoundCloud and videos to either Vimeo or Dailymotion or Youtube. If it's something like a text file, I have a Dropbox account that permits me to link people to the file. If it's on physal paper then it can be scanned. Let me know if you need any help with any of those things.

The upload appears to be glitched. I will try it on a different browser.
 
Wow.. a lot happened to you indeed.

For some reason, the one I like the most is "Hikikomori Lark". Nice :)

That one was done with piccolo, viola, cello, xylophone, acoustic bass and bass drum -- no electronic instruments at all!

I have to admit I was...erratic in my presence here before. But there's been a medication change to something much newer (my old medication was a 30-year-old neurotypical) and the reassessment will hopefully make things even better.
 
Welcome back, mickey. Glad you were able to make it back in one piece.
 
Hi Micky! what a whole lot of adventures... At least you sound like you know where you are are now
Later I will listen to your music, looking forward to it

Alas, I accidentally delieted _Fangboner the Landshark_ and _Wille Zur Schlafen_ from my SoundCloud account...so I decided to upload _Fangboner_ to RadioPlay instead. They have a promotion right now where you get 100 free plays on internet radio stations a la Pandora (although I don't think Pandora itself is included). Beyond that it costs $10 for each 100 more plays.

If you want to listen to _Fangboner_ I can link you to my Dropbox copy of it.
