Hello guys! In this new series of forum threads we will 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. Ok guys, I hope this will be the first step of something new at GMC. I will share the first pic tomorrow in the morning. Who is in? -------------------- My lessons

I think this is a great idea. A way to grow as an individual as well as an artist. Normally I would have done a second take which is more polished, but I think the point here is to be expressive, not polished. I felt the desolation of the individual when the ultimate hammer comes down, and that's what I was trying convey.

QUOTE (jstcrsn @ Feb 7 2014, 04:05 PM) is this what you meant Chills again!! Do this exercise guys. Turn off your lights, focus on the picture and play the two ideas. I's awesome how deep both are. Jst's is even darker, I can feel the lady's mind on that piece of music... a mix of desolation, broken dreams, sadness, there are a lot of mixed feeling there. What did you feel composing this Jst? Share a bit the experience... QUOTE (Rammikin @ Feb 7 2014, 04:16 PM) I think this is a great idea. A way to grow as an individual as well as an artist.

I couldn't use better words to explain the reason of this project and the feeling behind your piece. Well said Ram.

So here's a quick recording of what came into my mind when I first saw that picture.. https://soundcloud.com/mad-gmc/gabscreativityworkout_scene1 So awesome! I feel desolation coming into my veins when I hear this audio and watch the picture. It's so awesome how much feeling a track can get thanks to an image. I'm so amazed of the results of this experiment. What did you feel while you were creating it? Hey guys! I just had the idea to contact the photographer and send this tracks and thread to him. What do you think? QUOTE (jstcrsn @ Feb 7 2014, 06:19 PM) thought if it was me, started doing these slow sad bends and thought it needed delay and when that delay started clashing the notes so close together, made me feel kinda dizzy Nice moment. Thanks for sharing it. -------------------- My lessons

Hello everyone!
Very nice and different kind of feelings here from same picture...great. This is my short take, I looked picture and tried to get somethig from my guitar what I feel about it..I made two tracks with my Reaper. I also thought like jstcrsn if it was me I feel sadness...and thought...how everything was before this chaos and something like that. https://soundcloud.com/slowfingax/gab-gmc-creativity-workout-1 -------------------- My Gear:

Hi Slowfinga! Awesome tune!! Thanks a lot for joining this first experiment! It's a perfect mix of sadness, melancoly, loneliess and even some dark suspense. It's awesome how deep this composition is. I listened to it while watching the picture and I felt again like inside the scene. The power of music is amazing.
Slowfinga, have you ever composed something in this way? what differences have you felt? -------------------- My lessons

Your composition made me remember how some of the most recent series are usually musicalized. That weird feeling, I cannot explain it with words... maybe the close is desolation but there must be another one to describe this feeling. I remember a "Walking Dead" teaser that gave me the same feeling, and some "Breaking Bad" stuff. Check this one at 2:39 and tell me what you think. I found the pic searching with Google. -------------------- My lessons
