Music Production & Songwriting Community STUDY HALL--2hr Open Drop-In Hours!!
Details
Musicians, Songwriters, and Music Producers are invited to join us this Thursday, April 11 from 7-9pm EST for Open "Study Hall" Drop in hours! --Our goal build a positive, supportive co-working environment for musicians to hangout and work on goals together.
This is a space to bring whatever you're working on, production, songwriting, technical troubleshooting, etc, a place to encourage productivity, accountability, creative expression and freedom.
Keep on in the pursuit, reach out with any questions.
Some creative music prompts:
Songwriting Prompt:
1. Pick any 4 chords at random. Create a chorus for a song using these four chords, each chord gets 1 measure--see if you can thread a melody through these chords. Write the lyrics based on the results of this random word generator https://randomwordgenerator.com/
Music Production Prompts
With reckless abandon, create a 30 second track that includes the following elements:
- One drum track
- Two VST instrument elements
- One sample element, and/or one vocal recording
Here's another one that's really fun:
Take any musical scale or key at random, can be major, minor, or something unfamiliar. Create 3 tracks in the DAW.
1. Rhythm instrument VST (piano/synth pad almost always works for this)
2. Lead/Melody VST (can be piano or anything else--can be something creative/far-out)
3. Drums, a few basic samples
The idea is, from the chosen key/scale, to create a very basic, looping chord structure with root notes from that scale. The fun part, then, is to record MIDI over the lead/melody section--play within the notes of the scale/key. Can set a timer for about 20 minutes. See what kind of variation you can get out of the scale/key. See what rhythms and patterns emerge. Sense the mood or tone of your chosen scale/key.
