music How does your brain make music?

[gamecubeguy214 2,514]

If you're like me, you love music, especially dubstep and techno. But how does your brain create new songs? Mine hears other official songs and then remixes it. The songs my brain uses for the songs itself are Theory of Everything 2 by DJ Nate, Flaklypa by Rameses B, Electrodynamix by DJ Nate, and of course, the PAC-MAN starting sound. I don't have Fruty Loops Studio, so I can't tell you how it plays in my head.

There are more of Disarmonia Mundi & Tombstone musics are playing in my head a year ago until now, also five nights at freddys trilogy, dubstep & metal musics are the most types of musics are playin' in my head.

My brain can collide two songs together and make one song.

As a Kid i always heard so much music in my head, sometimes remixes of existing songs, sometimes original songs , that i was known as the " wall Walking " kid. Because when i think about music and listen to it, i often just walked next to a wall and wasnt really capable of doing much else. I didnt even noticed that i was walking at all 

 

I still think about music in my head, its like my own radio channel. And sometimes i even imagine musicvideos to certain songs 

 

I only wish i could animate my videos..show other people what i think...but i guess thats impossible  Unless i would become an animator...nah, its impossible.

When I was a kid, I could process something that I heard and can distinguish each and every instrument. In the car sometimes when I was listening to music with my mother, I would call out the instruments I heard. 

 

Now that I'm older, I can "hear" finished products of future pieces I'll either make or remix, from the strings, to the brass, to the keyboards to the guitars...everything. That's how my brain makes music.

I often hear made up guitar riffs in my head. The only downside to this is that it sometimes happens when I'm about to sleep, or at some inconvenient time, meaning that I'll forget about it later. However, a lot of the time, I'll hear a riff, and then I'll grab my guitar so I can replicate this riff and record it. I've done this numerous times before.

My mind tends to distinguish forms of direct or implied syncopation in the rhythm of a given song. Like beats, off beats, groove implied by the absence of a frequency and that sort of thing, I usually notice it first after I've listened to a song for the first time. Everything else like sound design, mix down, and composition usually follows after another few more listens. I also visualize things in time to the rhythms I'm hearing, usually abstractions in Porter Robinson style. But I can turn all of it off and just listen to a song without breaking it down, and tbh I prefer that most of the time. :3

 

In terms of production I'm a bit more haphazard since I don't have much of a mind for composition. Usually I'll just throw stock sounds together to get my rhythms going and then replace sounds with better ones as I see fit.

Ooh I sometimes do that too.

First I add an instrument, and then another, then another etc.

My brain sorta just makes the music, the sounds of it, from scratch. That is about it though, nothing goes beyond that on a technical level, but often it is enough for some kind of inspiration, even if I cannot make music of any kind. Often I have a beat that is already in my mind most of the time.

My brain can collide two songs together and make one song.

There are a few songs that my mind mixes together. They mix together these songs:

Theory of Everything 2 by DJ Nate

Electrodynamix by DJ Nate

The PAC-MAN starting music by the person who worked on the arcade game's sound effects

Polergiest by Step

The wedding song by Vinyl and Octavia

Flaklypa by Ramases B

I have a giant taste in electronic music, and my brain mixes those songs together to make one song that lasts pretty much forever. If I had Fruity Loops Studio, I would definitely make the song that plays in there and show it to you.

Songs always get stuck in my head and whenever I try to focus on one, multiple slur and becomes a huge mess.
