Acute social anxiety most people would call it, just “painfully shy” usually covers it. I started dabbling with music about fourteen years ago and it's taken me to the year of my fortieth birthday to actually play it to anybody else and to my relief it was well received. To the point that they suggested I put it out here on the internet, the horror! It's taken a few more months but I've done it, I'm on sound cloud. My main inspiration has always been Mike Oldfield and I thought somewhere like here is where I would find the most appreciative of my musical style. So please have a listen and comment, anything constructive or encouraging would be nice. My tracks range between neoclassical, ambient and progressive. I really hope you like them.

Excellent work, Simon.   -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

smillsoid Group: Members Posts: 548 Joined: Dec. 2008 Posted: June 26 2011, 08:16 I was like that for years.  It was only when I met my wife, that she encouraged me to put my music out there on the internet.  I'm so glad I did - it's changed my life! Have a listen to my stuff: Simon J Mills - Reverbnation I'd strongly suggest you put some of your music on here, too.  Very good and supportive feedback.

Yes, I prefer Reverbnation - better for linking to other pages/tune widgets etc.  Plus I'm No.2 in the Classical charts! I've got another 4 projects in the same top ten! -------------- http://www.reverbnation.com/simonjmills Back to top

I've put an excerpt on Soundcloud and would be very interested in what you think. Please have a listen. Thanks My Soundcloud Page Back to top
