MY EXPERIENCE 1

I've Got Plans, But Don't Know How It Will Turn Out..

I've always kind of been into music, played the viola for seven years, and not until recently, I started to mix pre-made music on my own to make songs using a music software I downloaded. To be honest, it all came down pretty fast. I've struggled with not knowing what to do with my life, and now I think I'm on some path I have finaly found. I love making techno/house/dance music, and I love orchestrating music, you know, putting things in the song where they belong, to make the actual song. Ok, let me say, I would love to be a recording artist,  a producer. It's something I think I'd really enjoy down the road, and I know already I love making pre-made sounded songs- so whats stopping me. I've decided to experiment with sampling , which has proven to be hard. Finding which part of the song to sample, what pitch or key to change it to, or what if that part of the song sounds cool but if its repeated over and over again it sounds like overkill- there are so many things your mind goes through to make it sound- just good. I'm struggling with it- but not in a way that I am getting somewhere. I am getting somewhere with this music thing- and hopefully someday in the next seven years - I'll be where I want to be. I don't know, I'm not going to think about success to much at this point, as much as I'm thinking about song I want to create next, how it will sound- what it will be like- how it will make the listener feel ( which I believe is the most important). Creating the right beats is what I want to do, along with the right bass, harmony, melody and everthing that fits in between - Daft Punk has drastically infuenced me and other artists such as Axwell, Eric Prydz, ect. but not as much as DP. I have them to Thank, becuase really, whithout two awesome robots that create some amped up house beats- where would I- or the world be?
