Creativity Workout 1, Improve your composing skills! Options

[Gabriel Leopardi]

Hello guys! Creativity workouts are back!

The idea of these workouts is to dedicate some time to activate our spiritual side. So let's forget about reason for a while, and search deep within for creativity.

This might sound weird to you, but I guarantee once you have got a hang of it, that it will open up new possibilities.

The first experiment consists in visualizing an image that I will share. Using your deeper perception - you should musicalize it with a note, a chord, a noise, a melody, an unfinished idea, a song or whatever you can create. The creation (music) must be original, recorded by yourself and shared here.

Each of us has a different perception of reality and it will be interesting to see different GMC:ers create different musical ideas for the same image. We will then analyze the results.

I will share the first pic soon.

Thanks Gab!

I always wanted to do music for movies/shows/games but I feel like it would be such a hard gig to make a living off of - I wouldn't even know where to start!

Well, there is something about living in the right place that is on your side. United States is the main producer of films, so you are closer than me to do it! (I personally would love to make music for films).

Check out this article, maybe it gives some ideas: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos/dec05/arti...cforpicture.htm

Nice one Chris, where do you get all of your sounds from??????

OK, I haven't come up with anything musical this time, I'm drying up I think I had an idea in my head of going inside the crystal ball and the kind of things I might hear as Saruman works his magic. I would be nice to have a mystical synth backing. I need to spend much more time on it but I've put it here anyway, maybe someone will bounce an idea off it

EDIT:

Was starting to pack away and thought of a way to add a bit of atmosphere to it.

Hi mate! This idea sounds really good, I can hear magic on those melodic ideas, well done!

It's also interesting so be able to hear both versions to see how was your approach to create this creative tune. I also think that any magic synth that creates a more unique atmosphere could add a lot here, even to the second version. Maybe you could explore that link with free VSTi that I've shared.

Thanks again for joining this one!
