    I love twooba so much. She's always saying things that are so perceptive and smart and then tries to hide it behind a joke or something. I really admire her. It's really noble and beautiful of her to be actively teaching us how to be a composer. thanks twooba!

    This actually seems fun and it’s a good way to match chords to lyrics. I’m a beginner song writer and I always have chords with no lyrics . This helps out !

    This is so interesting because I realize that this is kinda the way I write lyrics myself. I usually start with the music first, like a riff or a chord progression, and then before writing lyrics I kinda hum a melody over it, which slowly morphs into words and phrases, and from that I work out the lyrics for the entire song.

      It's how alot of song writer's do it. It can happen the other way around with a written song and the band improvise the music to go with it.

    This intentional mishearing is what I use to come up with riffs. Misunderstand the rhythm, half or double the tempo. Use the same notes in different rhythm or the other way around. Very good way to copy a style without stealing riffs.

    4:40 excellent advice … sit on it and come back a little later … stepping back, taking a break from anything … practicing a new thing or writing a riff or just anything … you’ll almost always come back with a fresh perspective and many times a wall or block you’ve encountered will be gone and you can jump ahead easy peasy! (just don’t think … let it flow)

    I do lyrics like that, and btw Kurt Cobain did it like that. Vocal melody gibberish over chord progression/organized music, then putting strings of words together to form “thoughtful” sentences. It’s the best way because, fuck it. The other way is lyrical perfectionism, which is just procrastination’s bitch cousin.

I could see it in a few years just flooding music, like A.I. artwork, and kids will make top hits in minutes.. all of a sudden being a musician or songwriter could become watered down to the equivalent of a being a TikToker. Idk, i just saw it and thought to get others thoughts on it. Seems cool to play with..but too damn human like that it weirds me out
