If I'm in a band and I want my m8s to be able to play my vision, I need to write it down for them.

you can't just show them what to play?

And hope they remember?

I'd rather they get it right every time and be able to memorize it on their own time if needed thanks.

But learning by ear is, for the most part, extremely easy. Learning chords by ear is harder, and learning something with a lot going on melodically is hard too, but overall it's not a great achievement. I mean I personally have never met a musician in my Jazz bands or what have you that doesn't know how to learn at least melodies by ear.

well i mean, yeah it was easy for me. but people seem really impressed by it, so that's what i like to take out of it.

It's much more convenient and professional to have sheet music for everyone.

well you guys'd probably know better than me. i can't really imagine doing it any other way.

I use to make electronic music, but the hobby fell off once I realized the amount of time, effort, and staying-inside that dedicated music production entails. It was a Winter hobby, so I had an excuse to stay in all the time, but once Spring came, I felt disgusting just staring at a screen for five hours experimenting with sound design, so I was like, "Eh, this probably isn't for me."

Although I'd love to be a music producer.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Reminds me of my art ideas.

I have the perfect image of what I want in my head, but:

-I can't draw it myself that well without a reference image (which with some of my ideas, is not posible)
-I can't describe it perfectly to have someone else do it either, plus they'd have their own tinge of the art style/design which wouldn't be mine.

Nah, I can play the stuff I hear in my head

You should just learn guitar. Won't take you too long to get to the point where you can play the riffs you hear

Hum it into a microphone, give it to a musician, stop, collaborate and listen.

I usually just watch what other people do and memorize the movements on piano tbh.. Works with simple stuff and you can fake people into thinking you're musically talented


Try and find a song that's similar to the one in ur head..  And maybe adapt it or someshit idk.

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.
If there's anything I've learned, the first idea is always terrible. It needs refinement, so it's okay if it doesn't end up being exactly what was in your head.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
I fiddled around in FL studio for some time but i gave up

so yes

Long live NoNolesNeckin.

Ya fuckin' ganderneck.
If I had the free time to draw the shit I come up with in my head, and do it well, I would.
I'd like to think this, but regardless of how much free time I can muster (which is an enormous amount), I still lack the motivation actually do whatever it is I'd like to.
