Who am I? edit
I go by the username Aurora Illumina here. This name is not my real name, though it is a pen name I go by in multiple places on the internet. Aurora is a word that can be linked to many things, such as the Northern Lights, in addition to also being a common name. "Illumina" is apparently the name of a company as well, though I originally based it off of the word "illuminate" (and I don't have any relation with the Illuminati).
Random fun fact - my account on Wikipedia was created on a Friday the 13th.
Activity on Wikipedia edit
For the most part, I simply make small contributions on some articles on classical music pieces, particularly the Beethoven Piano Sonatas. I was also interested in the userboxes, and have created a few of my own so far, with help from this page. These userboxes can be found in my subpages section.
I don't catch vandals very often, but those I do catch will feel the wrath of my laser (figuratively—my laser doesn't readily go through computer screens to reach the other side.)

Activity outside of Wikipedia edit
For the most part, the only notable thing I do outside of Wikipedia is composing music for the piano. I haven't taken any harmony lessons, and mostly have discovered patterns that "work" simply by experimentation. An example of something I have learned by experimentation is the resolution of a tritone, by moving both notes inwards or outwards by a semitone. I have written some short blurbs on analysis on my pieces; that page is in my Subpages section, and the page also contains links to the compositions. I sometimes have these bursts of creativity, where I make a short piece (usually 32 measures) in about ten minutes. (Note that these 32-measure pieces often end with a repeat sign labeled "ad infinitum".)
Some of the pieces I have made were simply made for listening to, as they weren't made to be physically possible. I have gradually shifted away from that, and started making more humanly-possible pieces. Most of my pieces are inspired by the Classical period, with occasional influences from the Baroque period and Romantic period.
In the cases where I like an existing piece enough, I'll make an arrangement for piano, and I usually do this by ear, unless I have access to the midi file. The most notable piece I've arranged alone by ear is probably Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24 by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I've also worked with midi files, such as the soundtrack of the game Lemmings, though I had to remove some parts from those because it's not very easy to play 3+ voices with only two hands. If I did include all voices, I may need to hire an octopus to play them.
