Maybe it have already been discuss, but well..... I was wondering, how do create melodies? I mean, do you spend a night messing around with your keyboard or do you find melodies immediatly? I think I spend too much time playing on my keyboard, trying to find the right notes in the right tone....And the result is usually a really crappy melody.... How about you?where to get started? Please discuss. Exam begins now, I collect your copies in 3 hours |

it is better to have sounds in some cases than melodies, sound progressions instead of chord progressions. know what im saying? i go that route and then i add melodic elements ontop of that and it usually sounds phat |

you mean slightly similar sounds? |

here's how you get started: go to your instrument, choose three notes at random, play them in any order. congratulations, you have written your first melody. |

Music uses me as a conduit to express itself. It's magic. The mysterious mystery of creativity. |

There's no way I've got the energy to find this article for you.... but... In the 1940's there was a group of 'artists' in munich aiming towards the 'perfect music' and another group after the same thing from Paris. The difference between them was the Munich collective bellieved nature had the answer so that's where they observed. The Paris lot insisted on music concrete. Anyway.... one of the munich guys aged 81, on his death bed said 'fuck all this nonsense, I love doh ray mee, it's great!' a good story told bad. |

the only way I can get a good melody is by singing something in my head, then later tediously find exactly which keys they are. They're usually gay. kind of similar to south park's dradle dradle song. of course the end product is made with tones from short wavs looped in modplug tracker and sounds much worse than standard. jews play stupid games jews that's why they're lame courtney cox i love you you're so fine on that show |

i piddle about in nonchromatic scales until i do something new or! otherwise i might invert a melody i like for example kaini industries invert it and further process it until its uniquely. |

and lots of arpeggios. |

i use the piano. (but, in fact, all melodies are mathematical combinations that always existed and can be discovered) |

i use monkeys. without results so far. |

Midi triggered monkeys? |

three monkeys and a trainee have traveled to space. central base orders: - Alpha, check oxigen and repairs. Beta, close departures and start ignition. Lambda, check positions and landing situation. George, change the diapers and clean everything. |

I can't do it easily at all. I guess I have little natural accurate perception of telling the difference in frequency between notes. I have to be like "ooooooooh" *holds down a key* *brrrrrrrrrrrrrr* "ooooooooh" "ooooooooooh" *brrrrrrrrr* hmm, is it e or f... ooooooh brrrrrrrrrrr... it doesn't help that one is oooh and one is brrr either. If I just wing it and create the melody in my head into modplug tracker 1) the whole thing will be shifted onto the wrong note probably 2) individual notes will be incorrect I can only use the white keys too because.. the rest are just too damn many keys. |

I found I was struggling to come up with lush melodies to augment my fucked up beats. Then it hit me, BAM, fucked up melodies and lush beats!!!! The rest, as the say, is history. |

i've been hitting that wall too. it's a nightmare sometimes. it's a lot easier to throw cool sounds into one bag or build awesome machines making those ultra cool sounds. but to put those sounds in order and make a composition, a track that isn't boring or copycative or overloaded with instruments - that's other thing. |
||||||||
|

i am actually addressing the Cage quote [about composition], not the first post [about melody itself]. |
