Hello,
First of all, thank you for the registration.
My pen name is Rex Potam (no, this is not my real name). I am French, so please excuse my English…
I found the Compose Forums site address in a book I am currently reading,
A Practical Guide to Becoming a Composer: A wealth of advice, tips, strategies, and examples by Arthur J. Michaels.
Even though I am not very young, I started composing only a few years ago, so I guess I am still "junior" :-)
I don't have any degree or formal education in music, but I have been singing in a choir for thirty years. I stopped in 1995 for professional reasons — but I found my own way in music by starting composing.
I started by a few songs but now I feel more like composing "serious" music. I have written a few nocturnes, two fantasies, and one organ concerto. I am currently writing a Requiem and just started a piano concerto too. All during pastime because I work in something else entirely.
You can check out my work on my own web site (mostly in French, sorry, I still need to flesh out the English part) here:

Cheers to all,
Rex Potam
