Rendezvous

This channel was part of a project of mine where I, someone with no experience with making music, never played an instrument, and only casually enjoy music, sat down to see if I could document my journey from knowing nothing about music/audio software or how to make music, to being able to make simple beats or loops. The twist: each song must be done in one sitting, and not worked on over time. Doesn’t matter if the song is incomplete, or how bad the song sucks - the goal was to sit down, make “music”, and then upload. Song titles were chosen ahead of time to be used as the theme/tone of the “music” I was sitting down to make, or by just taking the first words that popped up into mind upon uploading the “song”,  regardless of how dumb they are. 

I had fun. It’s interesting to go back and listen chronologically. I can’t say any of them turned out objectively “good” (a few got stuck on my head though lol) or anything people would enjoy, but I can hear pretty clear improvement between the very first “song”, and the most recent “song”. 

The results of the project were noticeable. The entire process was super fun, and I found an interest and appreciation for music that wasn’t there in that way before. It also made me want to actually continue making “music”, but learn it as I would any other craft and taking it much more seriously. I learned a lot about audio/music software, too; before, I was overwhelmed by the interface and the uses of the many functions in the program, but toward the end of all of this, i was able to use all sorts of things I had no idea how to just a year earlier. 

Anyway, in case any of you dopes wanted to know what the motivation was behind any of this “music”, there it is. I did a yearlong experiment to see how fast I could go from a musically-reta*ded person to a musically-challenged person that can make a loop. 

Last thing: the next thing you should Google is 
 Urban Moving Systems.
