Thank you both my friends, for injecting positive energy directly in my veins!

Glad to see you again @Grape Ape, even if it happens finally that you don't have enough time for this particular edition, the "Non-Contest" will keep going on with plenty of new episodes, I hope for long, long time! Have a happy Tour!

Of course @Aidene creation haven't to be autobiographical, but thanks to you I recognized an aspect of my existence in yours, that is really the essential!

At this moment I try a new approach: 1. Connect any mike. 2. Take any guitar, instrument, or even a cardboard and 3. improvise completely, (guarantied 100% random, accidental music!). 4. Repeat indefinitely, until completely exhausted.

Let's see if it could finally, someway... works?

@Amore_de_la_Vida i am trying improvisation more these days also. The Loudest Sound track started off as a simple improv on the keyboard with just the idea of the concept in my head.....so that melody came out randomly. I didn't edit it all but just added some layers on top to finish the song like the layers in the collage. I knew i wanted something minimal sounding though as i am generally more inclined to 'gild the lily' and add too much in my music. I just knew i wanted the contrast of the loudest thing actually being the quietest thing.

 

My grandmother from West Virginia used to call boys peeing "shaking the dew off the lily".

I'm probably going the same route, a basic melody and gilding the lily.

I didn't comment sooner as your song hit me in a couple of ways and I felt all ajumbled. Firstly I'm very gullible and took your libretto literally that you had a very, very low self esteem and harsh voices in your head but I had never noticed it before and felt terribly for not supporting you better or more (when I read many years ago The Celistine Prophecy I thought that it was a work of non-fiction, lol), and the second, it triggered me because I heard lots of those lines verbatim by my parents growing up and kinda caved a bit.

 

yeah dudee i started a song for #1 but i don't think i'd ever finish that song lol

 

hahahah

as much people like to think that, we artists are NOT our art.
Sometimes a song is just a passing feeling, something you're feeling at a specific moment.
but people will think thats how you're feeling all the time everyday
