create music

This isn’t something to be checked and get done with. I am already creating music and I intend to continue this indefinitely.

i want to produce an album just to do it because i love music. i understand the theory behind creating, reading and writing music. i listen to many forms of music. i have a very nice bass, drums, mpc 4000, keyboard, but i never have written a complete song and recorded it… with myself on vocals and playing all instruments. i’d say that i would limit it to no more that 16 tracks, no less than 8 tracks. keep it simple.

It was just a usual Saturday morning for me. After doing my daily morning routine, I went up back to my room, looked for my phone, and then, tuned on the radio. I was scanning over the different FM stations in the metro today when I landed to – as far as their campaign or should I say company advertisement is concern – the number one in the said field.

Apparently, as expected, there’s this girl with an irritating tone of voice, spieling her usual nasty or should I say doubled meaning jokes. With her is her partner who seems to be her male counterpart. They kept on talking about this and that, well actually, out of this world stuff that makes them laugh every after their spiels. I was wondering what’s funny with what they’re saying.

Anyway, after their so out of this world conversation, they played a song which sounded like one of the most famous singles nowadays. At first, I thought they just really sounded alike. But, as the song goes on – I was actually singing along with its English version – I realized that it was really it. It’s just that the one being played is in Tagalog version.

I stopped and listen to it. I was so dismayed after hearing the whole thing. Originally, the song is amazing. It’s actually one of the classic love songs which was revised by an American artist. I love the song that’s why I was really devastated when I heard it being sang in a Tagalized version.

Well actually, it wasn’t the first time that I heard an English song translated into our native language. There’s actually a lot, which really bugs me. I just couldn’t get it. I couldn’t understand why Filipino artists do have to indulge into such kind of business when we have a lot of excellent song writers. Why can’t they just stick into singing their original songs instead of revising and translating these foreign songs and eventually owning them?

Come to think of it, what if they’re in the shoes of Rihanna, Chris Brown, David Cook, and all the other foreign artists who own a lot of hit songs, which are being remade and translated, won’t they feel bad about it?

I am a great believer that Filipino musicians are gifted. I am a great believer that Filipino singers and composers are far better than any other foreign artists. But it saddens me that nowadays, our musicians seem to be degrading not just their worth but the music industry in totality. That’s why this thought came into my mind, are we really just going to be great imitators all our lives? Are we just going to be second grate trying hard copycats up until we breathe our last breath? Well, I guess readers of this post should answer those themselves.

All my life, I’ve felt like I’m sort of different and it makes me quite confused. Does that mean I’m arrogant, that I think I’m better than everyone else? I’m not sure, but I’ve found hardly anything interests me in today’s socially decaying world and catastrophe is becoming more and more common in a world I’m not sure I want to live in.

Music is a huge passion of mine and my taste is rather obscure. I’m curruntly doing a music technology course at Gloucestershire College and I’m loving it to be honest. I adore getting on the computers and making my own melodies and harmonics and knowing that when I’m happy with my piece, that I’m the one who created this sound.

I’m a rather odd person with any kind of relationship, in that, I have to actually click with someone to sincerely want them to be part of my life – I don’t just let anyone in. I’ve always wanted a best friend who actually understands me (cliche much) and will help me do new things to change my view on the world.

I feel there are people out there who have some sort of superior conscience and it’s very rare. I’ve met a few of these people and they really stand out to me and are quite amazing in my opinion. I wish I could find someone like that who thought the same about me and of course, loves a good cuddle ^_

Music is my passion and my dream since I was young. I would love nothing more than to have my profession based on music. But there are thoughts running through my mind that are discouraging me so deeply, like, “what if I am not successful?..What if I get no where with this?..Would I just end up wasting my time?”...

How do i do this?

Singing and making up music. That’s what I do. I have been singing with a male a capella group for over a year. But I havn’t found time to arrange and produce my own music. Really I want to produce my own album.

Well its been a blast playing cover songs for half my life, and still enjoy remanisng of old favorites, but along the way the creativity left side of the brain also was rollercoasting and created else(b side sounds).
I am determined to create a demo of nothing but original material to feel complete and share music with those who want/have /will do the same… TO BE CONTINUED…

I play the violin and the piano. I have been playing the violin for 7 yrs and the piano for 5 yrs. Im in the JYO which is a regional orchestra. Im writing a violin practical and a theory paper in October. Im very proud of myself but am put under a large amount of pressure. My dad bought me a keyboard from a friend who used to write music for series on it. I want to create some dance and house music one day. I wish to get a music degree and maybe go proffesional one day.
