How's this arrangement?

Hey Xaq, tel_nobody thanks for the reply. I got what you said. Yea I will listen to many different kinds of genre. I have a 10 day vacation from clg. I can work on improving my skills.

10 days is like a drop in an ocean, we ae talking about a lifetime chore... this isn;t computer prgramming that has syllabus and a duration of classes, even composers at juliard and the royal college spend their entire lives learning

glib

I just said I can improve, not learn everything because professional just like that.

I'm not sure if I could completely endorse my methods here but this is what I do...

I try and train all of the algorithms on YouTube, Spotify, SoundCloud, etc. to force them to suggest new music every day.

About 98% is usually crap. Some days I have more patience and can listen through for the jems amongst the turds, sometimes not.

I go to record stores with people I trust and instead of picking out an album myself well ask them to pick three things they don't think I've heard of that I would find interesting and buy them without listening first.

I join groups on Facebook, topics on YouTube, follow tons of boards, subscribe to TONS of email lists, and every other kind of media aggregator/community you can think of hunting for something that bends my year in a way that's exciting.

This often means that I won't listen to a lot of my favorites for a week or more. There are only so many hours in the day. That part can really suck sometimes honestly. sometimes its amazing.

Unless I have decided to study a particular genre or it's lineage I pay no attention to what genre while I do this stuff.

I am out right greedy for new sounds and music that turn me on.

Periodically I will come up with a collection of favorites that I will compile in a playlist or maybe just written on a piece of paper. When I don't feel like I can stand trudging through the muck anymore I go back and study all of the pieces that I did like and try to figure out what draws me in – composition, arrangement, texture, rhythmically, you name it.

This sometimes means I end up writing something inspired by Bartok, Desmond Decker, Bach, Cashmere Cat, Stravinski, Miles Davis, Wire, Square Pusher, Steve Reich, "insert top 10 pop star here" (yes, really) & i dunno, let's say John Cale.

I may borrow something harmonically here, a rhythmic idea from there, and aesthetic or texture from somewhere else & see what works.

I'm not gonna tell you this is an exhausting at times and frustrating most of the time. However, when I do find those jams. Those tunes that make me so excited it's always worth everything that came before it.

Hopefully this isn't too boring of a read. If any of you have a creative ways to get new music randomly in front of you I'd love to hear it.

Creative ways?

It has been a couple of years since I have done this... pick your social media platform... I used Facebook. You name a song, then its artist. A friend can reply with a song that starts with the last letter in the name of your artist...

Example

Dancing Queen - ABBA

the friend can reply with any song title that begins with the last letter of the band name (In this case A)

If they choose Absolute beginners - David Bowie, the next reply must start with last letter of artist again... This is E

Enter Sandman - Metallica

Adam's Song - Blink 182

22 - Taylor Swift

Tupelo - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

As you can see.. it gets pretty diverse pretty quickly

dJ-woki? what is that all about?

and Nikhil, apart from maybe broadening your horizons I am trying to get you to slow the fuck down in general.... you're just so hasty with music like a teenaged boy who hired a timesquare hooker.

😅 I just ended my teenage 16 days back...btw I liked that yesterday by beatles...I'm searching for more different types of music.

you're still a teenager in my eyes until you're 21 or 22... not specifically you, I meant the plural you, young adults in general
