#323Off topic but not really: how y’all feel about piracy and DRM and so on? Here’s mine, it’s no good though, I make them all in one sitting when inspiration hits. During the heyday the pandemic, I was getting really into synths, look mom no computer vibe, but I got depressed ame stopped everything
Whoops, I forgot to share my stuff. Sorry for double post but i can’t edit anymore
Re: Ask HN: Do you create music? let's hear it
#324and does anyone release the "source" to your music, or just the final audio track?
Interesting point, would definitely make it much easier to remaster some tracks to quattro.
Not only that, but substitute/edit individual tracks, or if using synth stuff, changing notes or samples.

#325Over ten years ago I started my project/band called Two Games Joined, where I cover tracks from video games and sometimes other popcultural stuff and make them into actual songs with lyrics, plus write original songs inspired by them. The lineup is sort of a revolving door where some people record parts more often and others feature for a song or two.
It's mostly aggressive music with harsh guitars and electronic noise, but it also gets trip-hoppy or mellow sometimes. Most of it would probably be classified as industrial.
Main inspirations: Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Powerman 5000, Rabbit Junk, Alexander Brandon, Amon Tobin, Public Enemy, Killing Joke.

#326I studied classical music composition and have still written music while working as a software developer. I'm happy that I (re)found a passion for programming as being a freelance composer wasn't paying quite well :D It has also been a joy to notice how my studies gave really good foundations for becoming a software engineer. Currently I'm writing a commission piece for symphony orchestra. Quite excited but super har…
So good. The brass and woodwinds on "Fables.." are amazing.

#327I ended up with a pinched nerve a couple of years ago and couldn't walk for a long time--lost the feeling in my leg. Totally sucked. My girlfriend left me at almost my lowest point too, even after casually agreeing to marry six months earlier (not officially though). I was living in NYC and my building porter and I started jamming to cheer me up. He had no musical training but just played from his heart. He also star…
I love the story (hope all is fine now) and the song is great, especially the bass so much in the foreground, gives it a very special vibe.
Thanks. I'm better but far from healthy. Doctors are pretty much useless. I bought a PRS Kingfisher and learned to slap from Davie504 :)

On a certain level, I think music should be free as in libre. It’s kind of an idea more than anything else. I’m thinking of selling music and then after a certain time (12 months?) it becomes pay what you want. In terms of DRM I hate it and never want it to be a burden to my listeners. If someone steals it, they probably weren’t going to buy it, but maybe they’ll come to a show/buy a shirt. I don’t like ad supported…
Im on that side too. Just make all singles free. The album can cost money but it comes with a poster or something. Backstage doc.
In the end, people will pay for live music. And performers pay for the song itself. B2B.

#329I just put out my first techno EP. I'm using the proceeds to raise funds for the Service Workers Coalition. I wanted to push myself to see a project through to completion, which resulted in this EP.

#330I developed a music theory MIDI generator with all scales, all chords, all keys including the past 100 years of chord progressions used in popular music (ordered by most famous to very dissonant ones). You can find the beta MIDI chord pack here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9l6guk9jdz5mpe6/MidiTheoryPack_bet... With these progressions you can easily create a basic harmony for your music and with the scales and chords yo…
This is cool, I made a similar command line tool for generating the same sort of thing: https://github.com/Miserlou/chords2midi Demo: https://clyp.it/f0g1ko5b
Nice, Mizza. I thought of making an open source plugin (VST, AU) with JUCE as well. Would you be interested? We could maybe combine our efforts
