Music lesson. We’re listening to my track, undeterred.
- I feel pretty stuck, like I have writer’s block. Pretty unhappy with the music I am writing and not sure how to make it better.
- I’m doing a 4-5 polyrhythm
- Match the drums to the quintuplets
- It will feel more satisfying to listen to and write
- Right now, with being in 4, it feels messy
- Think about the points of emphasis
- When counting 5, you can do either 123 12 or 12 123
- Put big points of emphasis on the 1s
- For the bass, could still play downbeat, but the avoid the other points of emphasis
- Could try using low bass notes with kick and high bass notes with snare
- Could take a loot at progressive rock
- Could match the lead up with quintuplets
- If i want a polyrhythm, it would sound better if i kept a constant flow of notes for the 4 and the 5.
