Your record collection — what’s it for?
Your record collection is all the records (on various recorded media) that you’ve bought, got given or otherwise selected to be your own.
And then, you also make your own music. Much of the population doesn’t at all, but we do, now and then.
Do you consider the stuff in your record collection to mostly be:
- The kind of music you want to make yourself, or to provide some of the stylistic or technique or topical feedstock for it, or at least be influenced by? In other words, you learn from your record collection.
- The kind of music you like to listen to when you’re not doing the kind of music you make? In other words, your record collection is for purely recreational listening rather than to primarily be an influential source.
- The nearest examples of a representative direction that is sadly lacking the precise kind of music you make, and your music is the solution to that problem? In other words, you can make the world better by providing this missing jigsaw puzzle piece which is impeding the completion of the scenery.

Hm, am I somehow influenced by music I like? Sure.
do I pick up production techniques from stuff I listen to? Not really.
does the world miss out on not being able to listen to my stuff? (I didn't publish anything for a while) That's a strange question. If you don't do music for yourself but for other people then you are on the wrong way anyway.
I have to be careful with listening to other stuff when I do my own stuff, if I am not careful it sneaks in. Like one time I had this amazing chord progression I was very proud of, to find out later that it was on one of the record I had listen to at that time.
My records are wide and varied, but the music I listen at the time highly influences the music I try to make. As I'm more into jamming with others than recording tracks, I'm more influenced by stuff I can actually do at this time. For example, I do have records with piano playing on them, but my piano keyboard skills are on par with my dogs.
I think most music I do is a mish mash of ideas from any genre.....throw it at the wall and see what sticks sort of thing!
I've just been listening to some Cocteau Twins and now I'm feeding everything through ToneStack, Bias, Ampkit and Jamup pro.
I consider the stuff in my collection to be the music I like to listen to. There is no direct connection to my music making, but of course some of it, some of the time, may, or may not influence me consciously or unconsciously.
Thinking now that because I chop and change my records so often, it may be contributing to my music lacking direction!
Don't forget to drown it in to much reverb. ^^
O yes....so spot on there....needs more reverb lol
I'm not quite getting the focus of this thread ?
I'II say one thing though, when I hear 'Gone to Earth' by David Sylvian (for example), I'm tempted to give up (sometimes).
Rofl
I'm 46 now and decided many moons ago that my music would only ever be a hobby. From that point on I stopped trying to reach the lofty heights of my musical heros and started enjoying my noodling so much more.
Yes, it's so much more fun if you don't press the record button.
I do music because it relaxes me.
no need to be Bowie
Hey maybe a thread on mad ideas to make us more creative.....I've been thinking of swapping the order of the guitar players strings around for a laugh....
Me too. I suffer from intense cluster head pains, so spend parts of my day in pain and then resting after pain. Music is one of the best medications I've found.
Sorry I'm drifting off topic.
Sorry to hear.
music takes you to places, that's it's point.
Year....sometimes odd places. My Cocteau Twins influenced stuff is now turning into industrial noise lol....think I may have gone to far with the effects!
Oh a little noise can be very comforting sometimes ^^
So is adding just one more effect lol
Fuzz or bitcrusher? ^^
it's for Ecstasy
Fuzz, but now will have to add some Buttercup Bitcrusher
Make more noise with lala, lol
Didn't work....the Bitcrusher ruined the drone. Drone finished. Beat loop finished....just gotta blend them together now......maybe a change of record needed....hmmm let's see.......suggestions please?
Lmao....lala's fuzzy noise record label
Some Drum Jam, iCathedral and Haq's bell sounds for Thor might get close to the start of this lala
It's such a catchy melody ... ^^
Damn, forgot to save my effects set up before changing it for the drum beat and now can't get that sweet spot again for the drone.....take a lesson from Mr F Zappa and do press that record button! Lol
Yes it is....I now have that in my head mixed in with the theme tune to the children's TV show 'Here comes Bod'
Always use the audiobus save button, never use anything that doesn't support it.
But starting again will be so much fun and this time it's going to be better! (Glass half full)
