Keep The Rhythm, Change the Pitch
Write out a melody, copy and paste the idea so it repeats, change as many pitches as you like, but keep the rhythm the same.
Repeat The Same Idea, With A Variation At The End
Copy and paste your rhythmic or melodic idea, then make a change to its ending.
Call and Response
The basic idea is that two ideas go back and forth. So if you had two ideas(one A and the other B) it would be arranged like this:
ABABABAB
Bonus idea: Try taking two ideas that you have playing simultaneously, and use the call and response idea on it. |

Been experimenting with this last one in a large more experimental scale with an orchestration... |

how many ideas can I stick in one track? I end up with way too ing many.
I start with Ableton, which makes it even easier to deviate. Next thing I know I got 50 clips and 100 variations spread out like chaos over 60 tracks and I just say "oh it, it's too complex" and leave this pile of glorious alone.
I must have started 100 tracks with an idea to make it simple, just COMPLETE THE ING THING. Well, sure enough - by the time I get bored, simple 4 bar loop has been side chained, pads were added, there are bunch of kicks and delays swimming around and all of it sounds great.... but pieces.
I need an arranger/producer. |
