Design your perfect tune in words

Use words to describe perfect song/tune you would love to
hear. Describe the beat, melodies, BPM or anything that you
would love that tune to have.

You can also use associations such as:"I would love the tune
to sound like an alien ship" (or something like that).

I am thinking about my description... It is challenging...

I won't be home the whole day... so it will take a few
hours.
I am thinking something like steinbolt that makes sense,
that has vocals and some alien-like reggaish dub to it.
Maybe at a faster tempo so it sounds more punk. (nothing
silly like ziggy sputnik hahaha).

synth washes ambient/hip hop beats, plenty of ennui, with
glitch beats and a few vocal samples

you can honestly say that you can make music exactly how you
hear it in your head?........ I would pay large amounts of
cash for that talent........ I hope to aquire it in the
future but I have my doubts about ever being able to convert
these tracks that constantly circulate in my mind into
sound, this frustrates the shit out of me & I also worry
whether one day they will no longer be in my head & I will
have missed my chance to shine, only time will tell.
There seem to be those who can visualize great music, those
who can bring music into existance & those who can do both
(the third group consists of alot of the artists in your cd
collection, although there are also those who have teamed up
to combine one or more from the first & second types to
create the third type...... if that makes any sense). I
belong in the first group, altho I am working hard to gain
all the skills I need to make my music a reality.....
sometimes I think it would be better to team up with a like
minded producer... any offers?

not exactly like i have it in mind.. but hmmz, if i think of
a melody.. an idea of how to combine different type of
sounds and so on, i can usually get very close to the thing
i had in mind, i never get the exact same thing as i think
about becouse it's easyer for me to go creative when im
"doing" music then it is for me when im thinking about it.

but i usually never think "notes notes notes" it's more
like.. an idea of what type of melody i like, for example if
i feel like making a cute organ melody, i think of the speed
and kinda of the whole "harmony" of it then i go from there,
i usually end up with something i like and that is similar
to the thoughts i had in the begining, but the thoughts u
have about the music before making it is kinda pointless,
it's the resaults and the procces that mathers right =D

Choppy ''fingerbleeding'' rhythm guitar, walking bassline,
piano chords, 4/4 drums, two lead singers, harmony singers,
naked women, etc.

Stealth key defeats invisible technology, wavering sinister
groove tunnels shaping a snowflake conspiracy.

hmmm..... I was refering to whole compositions, where as you
are talking about individual parts of a track...... it's
easy to write indavidual parts of a track but not so easy to
get an entire track down before you forget how it went....
it seems like, the more you concentrate on it the faster it
disappears from your mind. These tracks that my brain likes
to create & tease me with are (to my conscious self)
mindblowing & come in any form, from classical piano pieces
to mind bendingly complex drill tracks through to full
orchestral peices.

It sounds like I'm on my own here....... doesn't anyone else
get these amazing musical visions?
