yeah i dunno dude, i'm just really really bad at writing music

i think if i learned to play an instrument well i'd be better

yeah well that's kind of the way I viewed the whole FAWM thing

the truth is though that I've totally owned myself because I never expected to produce twelve tracks as good as these have turned out

i guess for me it's hard to get what's in my head into actual sounds ... like if i had thousands of dollars worth of awesome equipment it might be better

I have a fair amount of experience with production, I've just never quite managed to get decent results until recently

I always wanted to make dance records, house etc., but I think the truth is that that isn't where my strength is

Yeah, you seem better at more artsy, moody stuff.

yeah if i could be any type of musician it'd be trance/goa shponglesque stuff but it's just so difficult to write

I really liked the "For a Film" song.

DJGrenola

2012-02-24 08:21:00 pm

DJGrenola

2012-02-24 08:21:10 pm

LOL I actually tried composing dance music back when I took music tech in my sophomore year. The actual composition is easy with a good sequencer, but the rest is kind of annoying.

DJGrenola

2012-02-24 08:22:57 pm

it's just hard to get the damn production right, dance music is basically all production

DJGrenola

2012-02-24 08:23:54 pm

just two more tracks! woo
