RawB93 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 (edited) Are there any P&Bers that make their own music? I remember reading about a guy (possibly a St. Johnstone fan?) who does and had a track played at McDiarmid. I'm more into electronic music myself and make it on my PC. Actually just finished a track if anyone fancies a listen. Would be good if there were a few others Soundcloud Edited February 19 by RawB93 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good if there were a few others https://soundcloud.com/guestsounds/tyrone I originally thought that was Jill Scott but changed my mind to Erykah Badu? If I was still a heavy toker I would love that. I used to make tunes on Music 3000 on the PS2. Used to sample stuff off CDs, loop it, make my own tunes and burn off CDs. I used to play them to friends and family who kindly lied to me that it was good stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Erykah Badu indeed! Lovely voice. Man I used to spend an unhealthy amount of time on Music 3000 and thought the stuff I made was great.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Malkmus Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I've been writing songs for a couple of years now. They're sort of progressed through various degrees of pishness so far - and still are - but I'm learning all the time which is pretty rewarding in itself.The idea now is to write roughly an album's worth of songs which are at a good standard and then hopefully starting a band to record/play them live (obviously, music being "good" or "bad" is subjective, but I'm getting better at knowing why I like certain aspects of music now as opposed to before, when if I liked something I didn't really know what the artist was doing in terms of chord progressions, dynamics, mixing etc. This means I can take aspects of songs I like and re-imagine/build upon them).Will likely take a couple of years or might never get finished, but it's something to work towards for the moment anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 (edited) I've been writing songs for a couple of years now. They're sort of progressed through various degrees of pishness so far - and still are - but I'm learning all the time which is pretty rewarding in itself. If you changed "a couple of" to a "decade" then that would apply to me. I mostly use Reason & have made lot of tunes most of which are really pish. But I'm getting better all the time & I'd say I probably have about 6 or 7 tunes that I think are good but there are always things I want to make better on them. Don't know if they will ever be finished. Edited January 7, 2015 by Ziggy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched an interview with Paul Banks from Interpol recently where he talks about finding the balance between perfectionism and just getting stuff out there, sounds like he tends to lean towards the latter (from 2:20, the whole thing is interesting though, even if you don't listen to that type of music): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndw4UHYvuqs When you're just starting out though, I think aiming for perfection (whatever that may mean to you) is the way to go when it comes to creating as, although it can be maddening, the results will always be better than if you set your standards low. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Breaking Decency who posts on here sometimes does some great stuff and releases his own and others through his label, Sema4Recordings. I'd recommend his Soundcloud. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet Pete Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is he still on the go? I remember he was not very well quite a while back but haven't seen him on here for a couple of years. He's posted on Facebook and Twitter recently, but only very sparingly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I've been in loads of bands and used to do my own singer/songwriter stuff, but haven't bothered my arse for years now. Don't think I've held an instrument (stop giggling at the back) for about two years now. Recently had to move a bunch of equipment from storage into my cellar, I've got umpteen guitars of various types, drum kit, bass, piano, keyboard, several amps, mixing deck, dj decks and equipment, faders, pedals, mic and various other stuff, even a cassette based multi track recorder, as obsolete a thing as one could possibly find nowadays. I really should sell it off and free up some space / cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
