I've been sitting for an hour or so composing music for a movieproject in school, but when I finished I discovered something horrible. When I started I first sat at my piano trying to find a nice melody, and I did pretty quickly, so then I went over to my computer and started to arrange it(it was supposed to be a quite slow pianothing with some strings). I was pretty satisfied, so I shut down the program, and started to listen to music on iTunes instead. After I while the theme to the Pirates of the goddam-Caribbean came up and...well basicly I have copied the tune right of. Not intentionaly of course, but somwhere in my brain this tune existed, and when I started to play on the piano, I probably started with some familliar notes from that tune, and the just continued, thinking that I made it up right on the spot.
This isn't the first time this sort of thing happen either! Does this happen to everyone or is it just because I'm a bad musician?
