 Welcome again to another episode of the art of composing daily vlog This is I believe episode number seven and today what I thought would be kind of interesting is I'm going to try a Little speed composing. I you know what? Hold on one second. I forgot a timer. I've got a timer now It's my phone and I have it set to five minutes So the goal here is to come up with a bunch of musical ideas Really as quickly as you can and the whole point of it is it kind of relates to yesterday's video about writer's block but the the more material that you put out the more likely you are to write something that you actually like and I find that occasionally a good way to kind of clear the drawers of your mind is to just sit down and Pull everything out that you've got every every little, you know melody or chord progression or whatever Just get it on paper and a good way to do this and to see kind of how strong your chops are is to just sit down Set a timer for a few minutes and then And then see how far you get so that's what we're going to do in this video and you may hear some of my My kids in the background, but that's the nature of composing at home with a busy family So let me do one thing. I change the lock screen here Out of lock to never there you go. Okay, so we are set to five minutes and Here we go. We go. That's the start of something. You see I'm not too worried about durations here I think I would have just Repeated like it's a little basic idea. So there we go in five minutes I was able to get to I think pretty solid developable ideas I don't know if that's a proper word and and it just goes to show that five minutes is not a lot of time for you to sit down and to just start composing and And if I were to sit down for an hour or two hours With this kind of intense focus Imagine the amount of music that I could write. I mean here. We're talking four Well, really three kind of unique measures plus one repeated But but the point is is that that's a lot of raw musical material. I could then sit back and you know Play with it. This is already something developing a lot of fun with this stuff And I don't know if this is a little motivational for for people to watch me compose like this and to kind of see what what's real about how Composition is it's it's not this kind of romantic artistic thing That that goes on it's really just you sitting in front of whatever your chosen tool is and kind of you know Linking at things until something feels right and occasionally you get a really good idea And you try to write it down and you realize oh that actually needs work as well So if you want more of this just let me know in the comments. So and I will talk to you
