Dragon Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 I've just had an emotional experience from something I mashed together in 90 minutes. This is what making music is all about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Maybe I'm completely missing the point of what you're trying to do, but I still don't understand why you use this really basic sinewave-like synth for these pretty and interesting melodies.

Friendly Foil Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Don't mind the above comment. I just read the description on soundcloud. I'm looking foward to the final version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah, I know what you mean. The simple explanation is that I'm still learning how to create snyths in FL Studio, so they're improving, but slowly. Philip Glass never had this problem He just used whatever vehicles of melody were at his disposal, which happened to be classical instruments. I know how important sound design is in music, and I really want a distinct sound to carry my style of melody and rhythm. It's all gonna take time.

ganus Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I'm sorry, I don't get it. All I hear is a very repetitive melody on a kind of cheap synth sound, that couldn't have possibly taken a whole 90 minutes to make. I'm really not trying to be mean, but I just feel like I'm missing some context or something. Is this specifically supposed to sound like this? Is it a special minimalist project or something?

joseph Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 I don't view the melody of a piece as separate from it's texture, tone, etc. this can't just be a peculiarity of mine. I mean, sure, you can "extract" the melody from a piece and write it down on a piece of paper or whatever, or whistle it in the shower (guilty), but to me this is an extremely limiting way of looking at music, not to mention dissatisfying. (i actually hope that "sheet music" as commonly conceived will slip into oblivion sooner than later, as it is highly restrictive in terms of what is important in a piece of music.) that said, i do mostly like the melody of the track above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
