Make a track by sight alone... 2006-08-08 17:26:23


ive had this idea for quite a while now. its pretty self explanitory. you have to make a track however u like. The only proviso is that you dont listen to it at all during the creative process.

it will display a number of things i expect, how knowledgable your are with the basics of sequencing music, and also how habitual u are when u make a track. ie: using the same keys / rhythmns often. anyways

im gonna have a go and ill upload it soon.

OMGWHO'SWITHME?!!!!!!!

waga bursts onto the forums with an ejaculation of a great idea (check my use of the english language) have done this b4, is fun. i'm definately in. we're gonna have to rely on every1 to be honest if they're gonna try this, not that i'm suggesting that any1 on these forums are anything other than model citizens. yeh, needs a quirky name... like... dunno... waga, ur the one with the brains, ability, cullinary skills, sense of humour, lion taming skills, plate spinning etc

not a problem if ur gonna be sequencing, but no sound are the rules:P you could look at the screen at what the cursor is doing and then quantise the notes or drag em on the beat or summin. think of all the poor def electronic musicians, they overcome adversity everyday... and there are children starving in china

argueably it would be better not play it on a keyboard because that would be somehow rehearsed but, drawing the notes is probably even worse for that sort of bias. anyway, for those people who play stuff in, try and cover your eyes aswell.
go for the full on wig out jazz death chords.

it may be worth while imposing some kind of time restriction on yourself aswell.but this is all up to you really, this isnt meant to be draconian just a bit of fun.

So this is what you electronic musicians do for fun...?
I'll just perch over in the corner, with my guitar, me thinks...


I know I'm an asshole. Reminding me is redundant.
