RevenantBlue: Writing Music

TaylerAdamAllan 05.15.12	I can't wait to read it.
Spec 05.15.12	The problem with listening to music while I write is that the song tends to follow the direction of whatever I'm listening to.
johnnyblaze 05.15.12	^ same... which is why i can only write to post-rock, jazz, and classical
Thane 05.15.12	yeah what spec said, and then when you're jamming on going "woah what did i just play that ruled oh its that song by 'insert band'" i've written a lot of stuff lately, gonna record some of it soon and release an EP wayyaaaa
ControlDarts 05.15.12	no one cares you are a fucking man
BASTAG 05.15.12	i love got damn music
KjSwantko 05.15.12	sylosis is the greatest ever yeah
rockandmetaljunkie 05.15.12	Spec is saying the truth. There is a tendency in which younger musicians suffer from, when writing their music. That is also the case with me. However, if you can clear your head and discard what you have heard you will be able to write sth "original". Although, your influences will always be heard in your music. It's impossible to erase your influences.
Spec 05.15.12	You don't even notice you ripped someone off either haha. Dangerous.
Spec 05.15.12	But yeah for lyrics, Jazz, Post-Rock and Black Metal are usually the best.
phantomboss133 05.15.12	I suggest looking up Eluveitie- The Arcane Domion. They are a Swiss (i think) metal band that, in many songs, speak in the dead language Gaulish. that album is an acoustic album. if you like heavier stuff, their album Spirit is their best non-acoustic album
climactic 05.15.12	please dont review 1
Spec 05.15.12	Your penis 1/5
Wolfhorde 05.15.12	"is anybody curious about how long my penis might be?" holy fuck, what shit are you on now. "Cradle of Filth Black Metal, Death Metal, Funk Bwahahah, lol wtf.
Wolfhorde 05.15.12	When are you not slamming a fat bowl? wait.. that sounds ambiguous.
Spec 05.15.12	yeah no shit
johnnyblaze 05.15.12	ew. cut off is 45 bro. you're fucked.
Wolfhorde 05.15.12	"you used that word literally twice whithin your last two-three sput comments" I know, I have a very ambiguous (!) mind. And I like rhetorics. And stuff. "i guess it's weird that i wanna fuck my 56 year old boss too huh" Guy or gal?
Adabelle 05.15.12	Metal Dropbox
Aids 05.15.12	you should review 1 it needs one badly
RevenantBlue 05.15.12	This exploded rather quickly. To Phantomboss, I actually can't stand the one Eluveitie album I've heard. Slania? But I'll give them another shot, no harm in it. Thanks.
wacknizzle 05.15.12	I usually end up listening to an album or song that inspires me to pick up the guitar and figure out a new riff or sound that starts to grow into a song or a series of riffs for a song. Those moments are where it's at and what drives me as a musician, when I find those moments where I find my true potential as a song writer. When the cheese starts flowing it gets my noodle going.
Iamthe Nightstars 05.15.12	I've never heard of the concept of listening to music while writing music. Sounds pretty silly to me.
RevenantBlue 05.15.12	Beautifully spoken, Wacknizzle.
RevenantBlue 05.15.12	Oh, I hope everyone knows that by "writing" I mean, like, writing. Short stories, long stories. Fiction. Sometimes lyrics, but mostly, you know. Literature.
UnnamedOcean 05.15.12	It's kind of confusing to say "writing music" in that case. Probably should have titled it "Music I listen to while writing."
RevenantBlue 05.15.12	Yeah, I should have made it a bit clearer lol. I liked the "musics" theme I had going; Study, Work Out, Writing, etc. On a side note, I just noticed that 6 of the 10 album covers feature trees (I assume Descent's cover is an orgy of roots).
Dolving999 05.16.12	For me, a writing session is better when you've just finished watching a movie. You got so much in your head that it'll flow naturally, depending on the movie. The musical influence is already in your head, you don't really need to hear while composing.
Wolfhorde 05.16.12	^ Can you read? Because if you you would know by now this isn't about composing. I can only write when I listen to stuff that enables me to concentrate on writing, e.g. Death Metal, Breakcore and anything that's fast and senseless. Always jamming Bolt Thrower & Immolation when writing papers for school, heh.
SpiritCrusher2 05.16.12	well the title says writing music... EDIT: oops didn't read all the comments. stupid list title then
SpiritCrusher2 05.16.12	one year in high school, I used to listen to Colors every time I studied math. then during the exams, songs were playing in my head the whole time haha. listening to fast, technical music helps me concentrate. basically what Wolfhorde said.
Wolfhorde 05.16.12	My best paper was actually written while I was high and listening to Pig Destroyer, lol.
SpiritCrusher2 05.16.12	hahaha awesome
Wolfhorde 05.16.12	Well, it was collaborative effort and my partner was on the same party - hence he was also high so intially we didn't really think it would end up that good. Especially since we also had quite some caffeine in us 'cause we did it at night. Good times.
