    Your post is ambiguous, as you seem to be soliciting consent to rip off others' melodies with the pretext that "they've all been used before, anyway," while making a pretense of striving for authenticity despite wanting to be famous and successful (which usually entails "borrowing from" others' works).

    If you do endeavor to come up with original melodies, your heart is sure to be broken when some ruthlessly-careerist novice steals them out from under you, so why bother?
    Can you play a real instrument? If so, consult it as you play it.

    These are some of my works created before even I know the meaning of scale or melody. Because of that, most of them are in the key of C Major scale and its modes.

    I named them "R" (Random) because I didn't know any music theory then. Melody inside them is not so bad. I did not used any foreign loops and of course they are so simple.

    They are not EDM and I still do not know what they are.

    That time the terms "sample pack" or EDM were not being used widespreadly.

    I still can create random melodies that would sound like well.

    So he also said that someone stole his song. If it was created with melodies he didn't create. Who's to say If it was really stolen? Were they just using it?

    If one is worried about melodies, make music that does not have them.

    I tire of melodies.

    I could never listen to music that is so over dependent on rudderless melody.

    I would prefer to stick needles in my eyes than have my attention bombarded by those tracks with notes traversing a scale while not expressing a thing, let alone leading the listener somewhere, or influencing the listener to imagine a picture for themselves.

    A subtle harmonic structure that creates melodic movement via the notes that are not played, but rather inferred for the minds ear to feel , imagine, and hear for oneself, is much more to my liking.

    Less is more.

    How many times have we heard these melodies or riffs? In every listening to their new remixes I think they are fresh.

    What do you think about separating the good ones?

    If someday I will be asked what is the most important and memorable element of a good song, I will definitely name melody, then the bass. Other ones are just the decorations and frequency spectrum fillers.

    If I'd enjoy the un-pithched sounds or noises in the musics, it's just one second. After that, every thing is forgotten and only the melody remains in the head.

    Most of our beliefs or behaviors are based on our previous or contemporary findings and knowledge.

    Digital era is just a passing period we are experiencing. Even the quantum physics that works with the definitive numbers as bones of every thing has the same situation.

    My advice is not to think digitally and refer to the Newton's era that everything was continuous.

    We have our brain that is able to think abstractively so please don't make or suppose any limitation to it.

    Even the Mathematics that our brain has created it, is just one of its million creatures. Brain can do any thing so please don't try to put it in any frame and call it reality. Even the reality is what the brain creates and it will be changed soon or later by another brain.

    If you tend to think physically, OK do it but I like to think mentally with limitless possibilities and you can not stop me with just simple calculations (2^ .........). I hate this formula.

    Right mixture of drugs can make your behavior to be based on Future knowledge.... also retardation can make you behave according to no knowledge at all... win, win... :rofl:
    I saw a satellite, it was going across the sky and it flashed three time at me and zig-zagged and whizzed off. And I saw it!

    You see. This is another brain that I talked about it. You ruined my reality about the knowledge.

    I forgot something. The another era that we're living in is the joking era. Seems joke but it's more harmful than the serious manner.
