So...WHY do you produce? (pg. 4)

I honestly haven't got any reason for producing other than for my own relaxation and to let that urge of creating something out of my system. If anyone else gets some enjoyment out it I couldn't be happier, but I would lie if I told you I don't want others to hear what I produce.

Because I enjoy it. |

The Art of creation i think.
It just feels so weird after filling a projectfile/sequencer with bars and instruments and knowing people might like this.
hard to explain. |

Pretty much, and thats the reason why I can't stick to one genre. I raaaarely sit down thinkin 'I wanna make a ing banging trance song', but rather sit down with my mind relatively blank and just start putting pieces together to reflect how I'm feeling then and there. |

bottom line is i love to make exactly (well or close to) what i want to hear.
at one piont i tried to covince myself that i was done with producing so i could just focus on other things in life, but like a fiend i just couldn't stay away. i think i truely need it just to be regular...as odd as that may sound but i think other producers can feel what i'm saying.
so for me it's really the love of creating what i want to hear when i can't find it else were (self expression)...which is actually kinda tough considering the level some of the top/ or upcoming producers. they seem to almost have done what i was looking to do myself, but with out my own person touch of melodies and chord progresions. which i actually think might have all been done in trance and well ever other genre at this point?? anyone else agree with that? the fact that alomst ever melody or chord progression has been done ?? |

There are probably hundreds of millions of possible melodies and chord progressions using the twelve basic notes of Western music.
A much smaller fraction of those will actually sound good.
If you find a good-sounding melody, chances are that somebody has already done something rather similar to it, since there have been billions of musicians before you who were also searching for melodies that sounded good to them, and most of them were probably also trying to be original, use melodies and progressions that no one else had used.
But there's not much chance that you've actually heard it before, since we only get to hear a tiny fraction of all the music that people have ever made, even if we listen to music for hours each day for all our lives. So it's new to you, and probably new to lots of other people as well.

i agree with you to a certain extent. yes for sure almost all good melodies/ chord progresions have been use before, in some type of music style no doubt. so when you say "use melodies and progressions that no one else had used." that is tougher then it sounds when just about everything has been done, wheater it's in trance or what ever type of genere.
so at least theres this i haven't heard any trance that uses jazz progressions, i'm not to sure how that would work with so many synths but it's always a new avenue to explore.
but mainly what i always find when trying to make hooks is i will keep trying to get the exact feel of what i want but i always stumble onto another prog that has already been done before, which is usually the best way to play it, and any other veriation of it just isn't as good, so trying to find great hooks and melodies is pretty tough i think, but on the other hand i think alot of songs kinda have simliar progressions to one another but the synths you use and the way you arrange it can still give and change it to an original feel. |

a few reasons i think
i have an incredible urge for self expression in many fields
even though my background is more in the visual arts, music always is the art which has grabbed me by the balls and transformed my life
i have a lot of preposterous mystical/philosophical/musicological ideas that i can only test and make real by making a track or a series of tracks
the process of creation for me is like discovering a previously hidden part of myself.
it's free music for deejaying
i like to share my ideas with others
listening to my successful tracks is very comforting to me |
