musicians. step up.
 

hi, anyone here who performs, create original music, bedroom musicians. manic depressive singers. drug junkie screamer or non-junkie.

i'm currently trying to finish an indie-pendent album. and recently i'm trying to create some eerie yet heartfelt aches, falling under the genre, nostalgic apparitions of ghosts in a soundscape. anyone here who creates music on their own, or with their bands? let me know and let me check your music out. i see mumu makes one. and i really like what he's doing. great talent, it just needs further enhancement.

let's share some tips. artistry. mastering techniques. links to good source of musical education, to the trying hards and to those who've already tasted the glory under the crowd's chant. we want more. we want more.

let me know your links, queries. and i hope this goes to all those who wants to learn too. or to those who wants to appreciate. try new things. sometimes you never know, that you'll excel on things like this.

so here are my links, post your links too.

sad to say it has to be inborn. but you can enhance your vocals by practicing well, avoid sweet or that are harmful to your throat.

but some have a skill to sing FAKE high notes, we call it falsetto or whatever the spelling of that is. it's faking your voice, like trying to do a girl's voice or a high pitch. even those who sings high notes sometimes don't have the knack for it.

try to listen to other styles. listen to frank sinatra, tori amos, maynard keenan of tool and a perfect circle. spanish rap, or whatever suits your flavor.

oh and when i say falsetto, it's not actually singing on a girl's voice, but rather just trying to smooth up a high note, or faking it with your throat. most musicians do that. PRINCE is an example.

CHRIS CORNELL of soundgarden, audioslave has a natural high voice.

mastering music is an art too.

I'm going to major in music. Music is an art just like dancing and acting. It lets you let our your emotions in way that sometimes are hard to say. And Bleedingboy, you spelt falsetto corret. Good job. O.. and I can sing high naturally, but yet, I'm an alto. I find it kind of funny that I can high higher than some sopranos and lower than some basses. I love my voice. :)

i'm just a bedroom musician. hehehe. so do you have your original music? let me hear some. :D

I have lyrics but not music, like no background stuff. I'm working on learning guitar so I hope that will help me a little bit. If you want, I cna send you some of my lyrics. PM me and let me know. :)

if you could sing it, then maybe i can make a bedspace for it. :D

i'm an amateur musician too or more specifically a 'bathroom' musician...:D i have composed some indie-pendent songs myself...except for the electric guitar and my vocals (which sucks), the other instruments i used for recording my compositions were computer-based (mainly acid-pro loops) including the effects...

ryt now, i'm trying to get my hands on japanese and christian music as much as i can..so the next time i write new songs, it's gonna have a touch of either japanese or christian sound...:vsign:

nice to hear that. do post your music. oh and try to search other styles of music. the world has lots of it.

speaking of acid pro; i started with that software, but then later on, it lacks the certain power i needed the boost. and it uses too much of your pcs resources. so instead, i'm going to suggest several softwares you can use.

Sonar; Reason; Ableton Live; Vegas [for musical arrangement and rendering]; lots of plug-ins and if possible a midi controller, if not just your QWERTY keyboard and your Mouse would do.

you're right on that part...i tried some other styles too before...started with punk music (one of the easiest to learn) then have been trying other styles since then...nway, i'll try to post a song i made not too long ago about my infatuation on japanese anime...:D that song was influenced by Shonen Knife (one of the Japanese punk bands that I greatly admire)...

Thanks for the tips! :) I will check out the softwares you mentioned once i've got some extra time...:vsign:

listen to shiina ringo. old shiina, it's actually punk + jazz. also tokyo jihen.

here are some tracks you should look into.

shiina ringo - honnou
tokyo jihen - himitsu

ok, arigatu bleedingboy san...:vsign:
