Picking a genre....

Post here if you fancy bouncing ideas back and forth with other artists, if you're a singer/instrumentalist that wants to work with a producer or vice versa!

Picking a genre....

Postby Roshi » Fri Apr 06, 2012 2:00 pm

This isn't an ad for a collab of sorts,

I just need an idea base from the community.

I'm permanently moving to a new genre, as to what genre I have no idea,
Those of you guys whom have heard my music, what genre should I move to now? :)
Any Ideas welcome, as long as they are under the EDM umbrella,

Just open up your Daw and make a tune, what comes out of your head, if it sounds good, then make that your Genre. If not? Repeat process.

Yeah, that's not too useful though. "Make a tune"? I usually "make a tune" exactly by picking a genre, else i get no inspiration at all. I can hardly imagine that you never say "hey, nice melody, what if i made a dnb loop to under it".

That being said, just explore man. Whatever genre you like. Even if you think you can't do it, there's no harm in trying, and it's great way to broaden your production skills.

You don't get a melody when you're coming home from work or anything?
and whack whatever drums sound good underneath it, that's why my style changes every week almost

Permanently?
If you're into ideas, then I'll suggest breaks. Prog.. electro...140... that stuff Skrillex does now... a lot of flexibility there.
