Guest Sprigg Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I don't think anyone is necessarily correlating calm slow music with mature music... at least that's not the sense that I got. On 1/19/2011 at 6:43 PM, hahathhat said: i've gotten more patient, more willing to take care of the details... but that's more about my level of maturity than the music. edit: and of course, i'm always amassing more knowledge of music --> deeper understanding of what i'm doing --> deeper music --> more knowledge of music For me, Hat's first post 'bout sums mine up as well. One matures or grows a bit in some way (whether it's patience, or just letting the music go, or not having to sound perfect, or whatever), and then it would theoretically show in the music.

Cryptowen Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 I've never done any of that fast glitchy beat stuff, wasn't even aware of it until like two years ago. I guess the stuff I was doing earlier this year is pretty SAWy, mostly because that's the kind of stuff I was listening to at the time. But it was subconscious imitation, I'm pretty sure. After a while I lost interest in that style & have moved on to different things (which aren't finished yet).

Nah, you've just gone soft, or were soft to begin with and you stopped trying too hard. HEY CHASSIS HE'S TALKING ABOUT YOUR CRAPPY MUSIC Naw i'm not, Anflec is closer to maturity that most fuckers 'round these parts. He just underachieves with beats/production, and that hurts his otherwise lush-as-fuck tunes. Peeps like chassis, or sup, or data are definitely not who I'm talking about. Actually, i nominate Mitch Murder for most eloquent example of musical maturity to be found among regular EKT posters. Tht Tne! for worst example...

wahrk Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've been getting groovier and more textural as far as electronic stuff goes, but the majority of my musical career has been playing live. I credit my playing chops to playing worship songs in youth group and my theory chops to my private instructors and college professors. I might not have even started writing music had it not been for ending up in alternative school for a while. I probably would have though. the long story: Reveal hidden contents little kid - piano lessons for a few years jr. high - started playing trumpet in band, started taking trumpet lessons --high school-- fish - got into more music, picked up guitar while grounded/in alternative school, started playing with FL Studio and MIDI Orchestrator Plus sophmore - started playing guitar with a church youth group band, fronted a punk/metal band, sang in my mom's youth choir, started guitar lessons junior - got my first keyboard and started playing/sequencing shit to go behind my guitar/songwriting, made and performed electronic hardcore (as in breakdowns and vox) and released a crappy demo, wrote several guitar/vox songs as class projects senior - tried to start playing with another metal band, didn't get far, got a synth, took a couple of drums lessons, took some keyboard/composition lessons, started fidgeting with Ableton --college etc-- went to school for music (instrument as trumpet), joined a pop/rock band fidgeted with generative music in ChucK switched major to sound recording technology (still music), released first ep with band got into idm, started making electronic music as "return 0;", started playing with more DAWs huuuge epiphany and newfound obsession with polyrhythm and rhythm in general got Renoise, spent my drugged up downtime from having my wisdom teeth out learning it, made a rough version "Elemental" from my ep Metamateria moved to Austin, band released another ep band changed its name to the current one (the Davis Levels), shifted its style, and released another, more professional ep assumed the moniker "wahrk" started playing with a another band, throwback, feel-good, 60's-ish pop called Boonesboro joined an indie video game company called Flow State Games as composer/developer started hosting Pink House parties at our house (a sort of microfestival) every two months joined watmm recorded another album with the Davis levels released first wahrk ep, Metamateria Boonesboro became the house band for local gig the Encyclopedia Show recorded first Boonesboro single released second wahrk ep, delve finally released last Davis Levels album the present Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide wahrk's signature Hide all signatures website soundcloud facebook patreonnew wahrk music threadKarakasa Music Aleph9 DEFUNKT TX Chip Quote abusivegeorge | WAHRK STRANGENESS AND CHARM Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/63103-musical-maturity/page/2/#findComment-1502127 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I've definitely drastically matured as a producer vastly above my old unrefined production hat the last few years but I don't think much has changed in the last 5 years in what I enjoy making (which is still a very wide selection of vibes/genres) Last month I made the craziest, heaviest, most technical, ass shaking tech metal track I've touched and also some of the most beautiful, human, delicate, chill stuff. My song writing skills I think were still great 5 years ago but they were lacking in production creativity and polish. Besides maturing my production, I am really happy with how I've learned to bravely approach unexpected vocal styles on things most vocalists wouldn't have the balls to try.

Guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 god this thread (that is, that serious posts) once again make me feel like I'm such a later bloomer, and a shitty bloomer at that. 1991 - born did nothing interesting until 2007 2006 - was introduced to aphex twin, instantly loved it, sold all my other cds 2007 - started creating weird youtube poops, noise, etc. soon started creating weird melodies in fl studio 2008 - created some ambient using free vsts, started stockpiling cheap acoustic instruments and circuitbending 2009 - created some shitty cut-up crap, and fake acid 2010 - bought some analog for cheap on shopgoodwill.com and started putting together hardware, circuitbending, fl studio, and acoustic instruments 2011 - dicked around on the internet (so far) Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/63103-musical-maturity/page/2/#findComment-1504012 Share on other sites More sharing options...
