my music consists of words and noises. I try to use as many of my own samples and recordings as possible, but overall I just create what I feel

Improvised a Song for the First Time

Posted by cloudskater - April 25th, 2024


Two nights ago, I challenged myself to write a song at least partially in an hour before bed. Even I have to admit that's ambitious, as I started with and only focused on vocal melody, and I suck at making vocal melodies. But hey, what better way to improve then to throw oneself right into the deep end and try not to die?


Welp, I did it. I got a verse melody down and even a bunch of lyrics but, as usual with my songwriting, the chorus ends up being instrumental. I mean, I like instrumental choruses, but for me, it comes from my lack of ability to write one with lyrics rather then a creative decision most of the time. But it works here so it stays.


You may be saying "cloudskater, I can't hear the song you haven't released yet, dumbass", and that's true. I might drop it here as a rough demo whenever I get the structure done and recorded. No clue when that will be but I just wanted to document my experience as an armature songwriter trying to challenge himself.


Now to try and make an EP! That's not too much for my newbie brain to handle at all!
