DTube - @snbox Your Creative Process - Working on a new song 🙉

in dtube •  6 years ago 


Hey Dtube,

The other day I saw a great initiative organized by @sndbox about sharing your creative process on Dtube and I didn't want to miss out on it, so here is a new track I am working on, I wanted to show you my own creative process.I am actually a day late, but I still really enjoyed the concept and wanted to encourage everyone else to do the same.

Few years ago I used to have the song coming to me all at once, as a block (Lyrics and music), but this year, especially after writing so many songs, I had to come up with a better way to improve my writing, and nowadays I really try to focus on each phrase of the voice leading (melody), having a coherence chorus and verse, then only add the lyrics in a "guessing game".
I try not to force that last process , because you can screw up a song by rushing it and finding the wrong lyrics for it. I find it very difficult to undo that process, once you put the music into word, the song exists and can't be deleted of your subconscious.

Or at least that's how it work for me, let me know in the comments how it work for you, do you have a special process, or superstition?How do YOU create?

How nice it is to see you do a Dtube post, I haven’t got to hear you sing for a minute. I’m surprised you’re not getting more love for showing off the creative process.

Eh, Eye appreciate it!

I’m similar with rhymes and drawings. A rhyme may have an idea/rationale or a plot but the flows take time. Once they start gaining speed, they don’t slow down. Figuring out a way to stop them from coming is the next obstacle.

Drawing is different. The image is always there, it just has to be started, if that makes sense. Once I have an idea, the drawing is already completed in my mind—-it’s done! I think that may be why I get so bored with drawing dude, they’re finished before they’re even started. Once pencils begin making shapes, it’s going to be time consuming so everything needs to be just right... sticky, surrounding noise, tools, material, etc. Drawing is tougher for me cuz I’m such a’fa King princess. My surroundings and the surface I’m using to draw on need to be just right.

Thanks for asking, Ed. And while I’m giving thanks, thanks for being so transparent around here. 👍🏿 I’m not the only one who notices. Merry Christmas. Happy New year.

Who was holding the camera?

My wife was holding the camera :)

Thanks for sharing your own creative process with drawing, I am thinking it would be a great idea to invest in a drawing software on tablet, as you could really work 10 times faster, and make sure you don't get "bored"

I’m surprised you’re not getting more love for showing off the creative process.

It's the weekend, meaning that most of the dtube curation team is not working today, but I actually knew that before posting and wasn't expecting anything from it !

It's alright I was just messing around, a snapshot ...

Mess around and snap shot more then … 😉

I will!!!

It’s the weekend...

Touché.

Thank you for showing us your creative process.

You’re probably right, Ed, and thank you for sharing your opinion. We have an iPad, I think even you have mentioned some apps to me. Bro... Eye’fa King just can’t get motivated to draw. It’s such a task!! I pray actually, I literally put my hands together and ask to accept drawing more in my life but the unanswered prayers are just as valuable as the answered ones i Guess. F’ing boring bro. I promise to look into some digital apps when we get settled at our new location.

Have you seen the images @nonameslefttouse puts out? Whatever he’s using is about the only digital software I can get interested in.

Happy Saturday, Ed. Since it was your wife I won’t say anything like “thought for sure that was one of the kids.” 😉

Only start drawing when you feel like it buddy!Don't stress too much about it, it's about inspiration!!
