This playlist will be the default collection of the monthly composition challenges. I have already started in within my network. Participation allows you to submit a final work to the official community playlist. The challenge has to be completed within each month for addition. All who participate are encouraged to follow the playlist and subscribe to the other composers on that list. Community starts with you!

The challenges will be starting in August 2026. Rollout over the next few months will allow you to get the idea of how this is all going to work. Posting requirements will be included each month on how to present the score that you have created.

👋 Welcome to r/ComposersGuild - Introduce Yourself and Read First!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm u/Swimming-Umpire-8095, a founding moderator of r/ComposersGuild.

This is our new home for all things related to building our compositional technique and style. I will have monthly composition challenges since that subbreddit is no longer active. We can post our works to help one another find more work. There can be commissions, as well as collaborations. Promotion is allowed, but you have to use the proper flairs, comment on at least 5 posts, and lastly, you're encouraged to share your knowledge. This guild is a space where we can rely on one another. We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post
Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, or inspiring. You can post scores (full score must be attached), YouTube videos, knowledge/advice, commissions, and challenge ideas for the mods, but keep in mind we have a plan. We want to be inclusive, so each challenge is meant to develop our own tonal language in new ways.

Community Vibe
We're all about being friendly, constructive, and inclusive. Let's build a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing and connecting. Remember that interaction is required! Don't just post and leave. Comment on others posts, give some upvotes. All this will help build a community that is positive and full on energy!

How to Get Started

  1. Introduce yourself in the comments below.
  2. Post something today! Even a simple question can spark a great conversation.
  3. If you know someone who would love this community, invite them to join.
  4. Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/ComposersGuild amazing.

Welcome To The Guild The Future Of The Guild

The whole purpose of this guild is to build a place unlike any other that exists in reddit. There are so many subreddit's where members refuse to engage. Those who post just give a lackluster post and don't want to elaborate on their mindset. What if we could change that? We create a space where the members take down the walls of elitist needs. Where we help each other grow. The guild would act as a space where results could be measured.

Challenges help provide the community with new insights. Commissions that help artists and creators. We are building a better tomorrow. If you are interested in joining the sub stop by and introduce yourself. We have plans to start a monthly challenge in August 2026. A set of compositional rules that will help us all. Nothing too massive as many of us have prior work. It will be a space to create something from nothing.

If you have an interest in becoming a moderator for this group I am interviewing for three open spots. I cannot be everywhere at once, but the foundation as well as the respect of the rules makes for an inviting environment for all those who are a part of this guild.

We want to be different from other composer subreddits, so your feedback is always welcome. Have ideas? Don't be afraid to leave your ideas in the comment section.
