EASY WAY TO CREATE A SONG!

Let’s look at creating a song from a different view point. Deadmau5 is a Canadian music producer who approaches creativity in a completely different way. He does not hear a tune in his head, have a dream, nor does he feel something and then starts writing a song. He does not write an intro, verse and chorus in linear structure. He approaches creating a song in a very different way.

He begins his process on the computer figuring out the melody. He needs to form the melodic structure and the hook for the song first. He doesn’t worry about the sound, tempo or mix, it’s about laying out the melody of the song. He spends 90% of his time goofing around and working on the melody idea and hook for the song. It might take him 10 to 12 hours to come up with the melody.

He writes a song in less than 16 bars, which is about 23 seconds of music and says his song is done. Sounds crazy, but it’s not! He takes the 16 bars and then arranges them into a song by duplicating the 16 bars over and over. He arranges it, figuring out what stay in the song and what comes out. He will also modify parts of the song.

There is a ton of music software and music libraries that are cheap and sometimes free. You can get music from stock libraries all over the internet. You can take a few bars of one and a few bars from another, and just keep building until you have around 16 bars. You are basically mixing and matching music putting it all together to make a song.

He writes a song in less than 16 bars, which is about 23 seconds of music and then says his song is done. A song is longer than 16 bars, so why does he say he’s finished writing the song? He takes the 16 bars and duplicates the 16 bars over and over. From there, he will arrange it, decides what stays in, what comes out, and what parts are modified.  

JOKE FOR THE DAY:

“I don’t perform… seals perform.”
Morrissey
