Titles

Coming up with names for music is harder than making music. I have always just named my music nonsense words and random words that I thought of when I started making it. Nishi, it means west in Japanese. Metter, it rhymes with better. Usim, just random. Clest, just random. But recently, for a good reason, I have to come up with real names for music. It's very difficult. It sounds pompous going the fake classical route, like "Concerto in F major for Synthesizers". It's too arbitrary coming up with names that mean something like "Autumn Leaves" or whatever. So I have settled on longish names that are about various things that hopefully invoke a response. Maybe some descriptive titles. But I spent half of a 14 hour airplane ride coming up with 8 titles.
