Happyhour Music Creations
I gather from my reading on this forum that lots of people either don’t finish songs or that they just noodle around. I think that’s awesome! But sadly, I think there are those that are afraid to post their music because it isn’t complete in the traditional sense of how the majority of people listen to music today.
I say nonsense!
For awhile there I was doing what I called Happyhours, where I just timeboxed myself to work on a brand new idea for an hour, two at the absolute max and then throw it into a folder and move on. I got where I was doing it once a week or so based on my life schedule. It was kind of a get off work and either test some new thing I learned or read about, try something on my lunch, or just try to jump start creativity when I didn’t feel like it.
I’d like to encourage you all to just render something out you are doing And post it here. Don’t worry about quality, or mastering, length, or any of that. Just post a snippet of your creativity. All I ask is that you timebox your effort to 2 hours at the very top. It’s not about finishing anything, it’s about making music and sharing with no structure rules or anything. It can be iOS only, desktop, hardware, combo, or whatever you want. I know there a lots of people that can share even 30 sec of noodling that might encourage each other to keep going or spark their own ideas!

I heard a song recommendation off my Spotify list and it had this really harsh in your face kind of vocal and a heavy vibe surrounding it, so I tried to do an idea around those lines. I always like The Prodigy and the vocal how it is just so in your face and interesting delay lines so I found a couple samples and gave it a go:

@drez
Good idea.
Is there a time limit?
Negative, whatever your output. I just encourage you to start to finish it in that time. Like don’t spend 4hours building patches, etc and then 2 hours on a song. Just crank something out in max 2 hours from start to finish.
Fantastic for 2 hours work. Nice and growly synths and I think you captured the harsh vocal vibe very well.
@drez couldn't agree more sir. I only have 1-2 hour windows to create so i am living this workflow model 👊🏼™️
This is a great idea. Hope I can escape my sense of musical inferiority, analysis paralysis and perfectionism long enough to use some of the many many apps I have accumulated to actually make something that I’m willing to post... For now I’m studying Drambo and MiRack like a fiend! :-)
I hope You post something too @scadet! Remember, this isn’t about comparing...there is not comparison with creativity. It’s simply the act of doing it that brings us joy and inevitably closer to the goal of self improvement. My hope is that this isn’t a judgements thread on quality or whatever, it’s a celebration of commitment to staying creative. My most satisfying work isn’t my completed works, it’s my satisfaction in just the act of trying and learning so that when I need my tools, I’ll be able to call upon them when I’m really ready to go all out and (for me personally) write something I want to listen to again and again. Happy hours for me are just sharpening my sword!
But if I’m not sharpening my sword, I’ll never cut through the jungle to find that place
@drez I agreee with @LeeB that this is great work!! You captured it. I remember when I got my first Prodigy album back when I was living in Japan. It seemed so cool and edgy at the time. I thought I was getting away with something sitting in my tiny apartment cranking this and Zappa’s N.Y. & Elsewhere and Smashing Pumpkins’ Gish to the dismay of my likely bewildered neighbors.
