Big Week! I made two songs.
I collaborated with AiDeRen, which is my very first collaboration. We worked back and forth sending samples (Vocals and electroplankton stuff from me) and works in progress. I learned a lot from AiDeRen. I found the work very challenging, but also very rewarding because it got me to work a lot harder than I normally do. Actually go through various revisions and try different things. I am very grateful to have been a part of it. It was great to watch AiDeRen make magic every day and me being like "okay! here I go!" Very grateful to have been a part of it and thanks again!
I also contributed to WB friendly sample challenge challenge and used samples from Orange Drink and 0x_colt in the composition.
Amusingly I collaborated with AiDeRen because of an Orange Drink a comment that we (Orange Drink and I) should collab and make a distrack about AiDeRen. I guess that turned out not as planned?
Normally, I would shoot myself in the foot at the starting line and not do the thing. But this time I did the thing. It was fun! A bit scary, but fun.
I'm also doing the songwriting course at the School of song which jwh had reccomended to me. We spent the week doing object oriented writing from prompts and then had to use what we wrote and make song. My brain with my 3 weeks of piano made this Do they know that I've come?. I need to learn more. So much more. I also attended the song sharing, which I also normally avoid, and it was good. It was nice to hear that people like my distinct and emotional voice.
So moral of the story, just do the thing. Go to the thing.
I learned so much in one week.
It does help that everyone on weekly beats and the school of song is so supportive.
