The Nihilist

I have always been fascinated with complex rhythms and time signatures, so I decided to compose a piece in 11/8 in my favorite style: heavy metal. It's an absolutely crazy piece with challenging riffs and solos along with a fast tempo. I also decided to experiment with dissonances, which are used in the piano's frequent, jarring stacatto chords and solos. I decided to name the piece "The Nihilist" as a Nihilist is someone who believes in nothing and has no objective in life, reflecting the piece's craziness. I composed it originally on Musescore's composition software, and enhanced the audio playback in FL Studio 20.

Creativity to me means to have uniqueness in my creations and using new ideas instead of re-using old ones. Popular or overused methods or aspects would not reflect creativity, but fresh, new ones would.
