Music descriptions

[aron_kristina]

Hello!

I'm new here, just found the community, and I read through some of the older post. Reading about image descriptions made me think about the medium I work in, music.

Now, I post music sometimes on my LJ, mostly music written to accompany a piece of fanfiction, sort of like fanart, but fanmusic instead. I've never provided any descriptions of the music, but reading here has made me think that maybe I should.

Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated.

Academia Ahoy in October!
