how do you write music. i understand the basics of music theory but how do you actually turn any of that knowledge into something original.
>>122925356by being inspired, which will never happen if you are on this board asking for help from the most vicious assholes. get off the internet for a month, at least. how do you think art is made? you have to stop looking around at bullshit and slow down and look inward. if i an writing new material, no internet or news for months. many others would tell you the same. most on this board are in the same boat as you so they will give you bullshit advice and project. just walk away and do not go online for a month.
>>122925356Music theory is descriptive.
>>122925356Use the sounds to express something or just have fun experimenting until you reach sounds you are proud of

>>122926669Compeling argument, I'm sure you'll be a big star.
>>122925356This might sound weird, but you have to act as a vessel through which music composes itself. Play a note, a chord, a rhythm, and pay attention to how it makes you feel. Then follow that feeling. Modify the rhythms and pitches until you can crystallize that feeling into a chord progression or melody. Add things. Take things away. Play simple, play complex. You'll start to develop a descriptive vocabulary of sorts of motifs and tendencies that will ultimately become your stylistic fingerprint.Is that too abstract? I can try to clarify points, if you're interested.
>>122925356experiment? just make whatever and see what works
>>122926791this is some sound advice alright
>>122926754I'm just getting on your level, retard. >>122925752>>122926489
>>122927111If you actually understood music theory, you wouldn't make a thread wondering how to make "original" music. Not only you're "unoriginal", but you're stupid.
>>122927167Oh yeah, and by the way, making "original" doesn't mean it's interesting.
>>122925417fpbp. if you need to ask how to be creative, you've already failed. i hate autistic people
Practice goes before theory.Ie; theory helps you understand what’s already been done and also gives you a shared vocabulary with other musicians that’ll help you to work as a group without just brute forcing everything.But to do something new you have to strike out on your own.No, this doesn’t mean you can disregard theory, because if you do so your “something new” is probably just going to be a reinvention of the wheel.
>>122925356best way I can describe it is that you need to develop your own vocabulary. that doesn't come through theory, it comes from listening to and learning other music. if you learn 30 beatles songs you'll be able to create something kinda like that. same with anything. theory at it's very best can teach you some conventions, but those are just kinda freeze-dried prototype descriptions of the real thing.
