I quite like this one, one of my favorites by you. It probably helps when all the notes are the same type of sound so its easier to percieve their pitches in relation to eachother, for me at least. Its hard for me to make multiple tone sounds work together.

Thanks, people!
w M w: well, I got inspired by you, in a way, when you said/wrote that you're "just more into melody lately" (Tape Tracks), and it compelled me to just cut off all the nonsense of the music and try on a bare bones approach. I've gotten the impression you're interested in how different notes work together. Their relation, so to speak. I've searched around on the net looking for something that could explain all of 'that', on music theory, but there's quite alot of stuff, and most of it seems to talk about on how you read notes, and not their relation, or whatever...
I just wanna cover the basics instead of just fiddling with a computer. Everyone can push buttons, and it's boring ... sometimes. Putting a drum on everything sometimes feel so f-ing cheap.

All the 'music theory' stuff I've read just confused me. Youtube piano chord/etc tutorials can be helpful if you can even see which keys they're pressing.
I can spontaneously hum/create stuff in my head in real time, just making up as I go but its harder to transfer it to computer data. I have bad pitch perception so I made a wav file of my own voice humming in note c, and its much easier to compose with that wav since I can compare it to my own voice (otherwise its very easy to choose the wrong note relative to whats in my head/voice).
I only use white piano keys, not sure if that's dumb or not (in modplug you can raise/lower the entire key of the song anyway). I usually have a separate chord rhythmy part that follows a stricter chord structure (3 white keys/every other key.. like ceg). This part is usually more repetitive to keep rhythm. The other simultaneous but separate part is more melodyish, less chord-strict, so can use keys outside of ceg or whatever more frequently than the rhythm part. And the melody part is the main part that I tranfer from my imagination (the chords are more rigid so sometimes follow structures instead of imagined)

I used to get stuck with only using black keys. They always seem to match, and it's rather easy to make some melody of it, but it tends to get repetitive, and ultimately, rather boring. I usually just change a note over and over again until there is an impulse and you 'see' mentally a pattern or structure, and you just have to go with it. It's really annoying when a good melody pops up in your head and you have no way to 'save' it. Two days ago I was gonna go to bed when I came up with a melody, and had to use the mobile phone to record it. Personally I don't feel that I have any control of the music whatsoever (when I'm making it). I mean, I know what I'm doing, but I tend to get surprised everytime some new notes has been arranged in order, and I press play. This music making business is a big enigma.
Making a c note with your own voice is not a bad idea. Perhaps I'll do it myself. Thanks for the advice.

it's fun, though. I suppose I wouldn't grab any slippery nuts if it wasn't. ;)
