would love to meet someone with roughly my goals so we can grow together as artists

Het meeste gelukkige wat mij ooit zou maken is een release van akoestische versies van elk Nirvana nummer/Kurt Cobain demo

​

general review: (7/10)

Everything functions well, the melody serves the emotion, the narrative mostly does. The verse is feigned indifference but it's only not obvious to the narrator themselves, hence why it's so intense. Decent song. But I definitely used these melody shapes and structure before, it does teach me something but it will get a lower grade for that

personal assessment:

melody: 5/10

structure: 6,5/10

emotional relation between sections: 7/10

chorus: 7/10

questions:

I changed the 30 day challenge format, instead I will work my way up to 100 quick demos. about 3/4 demos a week, that fits me way better and will improve my skills more than a 30 day period where i can’t rest, absorb or study.

review (5,0) unsure if the chorus is really a chorus, cool melody. i like the theme a lot, it’s based on capgras syndrome. basically believing that the people you’re surrounded by are impostors. I don't know if everything serves the emotion, but i think the chorus is slightly weak. Well, not every time can be the best right? the instrumental melody is notmemorabe. and the verse vocal melody has a cool call and response model. i gave it a bit of a lower grade because I feel like the song is kinda muddy overall.

questions:

-Is the chorus obvious? how can i make it more obvious

-how do i let the chorus land more?

30 demos in one month (6/30)

Hey! I'm making 30 demos this month because I need to repeat a lot of songs to get the structure right, so this challenge compresses that process in a faster but slightly less efficient way. And I am posting said demos on Reddit to get your feedback on my songwriting. Thanks in advance :)

-”sleep”
-reflect on all of your songs and discover the weaknesses

Review (6,0): decent everything, and the writing goes a bit too easy. Which concerns me because that means I've plateau’d. I've studied my songs from this challenge briefly and I also can’t find any major weaknesses. So the only option is to work more deeply on a song. which means changing the challenge, i will now finish a song every two days instead of every day. 

personal assessment:

melody: 6/10
structure: 5/10
emotional relation between sections: 7/10
chorus: 7/10

questions: 
what other sections could i add to improve the experience?

review (7,5): melody is good, structure is good, chorus is fine, emotion is well communicated. The only reason this isn’t higher is because it isn’t exceptional. don’t know why, i’ll see once i have more perspective on it, i will definitely develop this one later down the line

review (6,5/10): short and sweet, fun punk song to play. I thought the verses and choruses conveyed the message well enough. The verses are thinking thoughts and the choruses are expressing the thoughts. The melody feels kind of dull though, and the emotion isn’t very pleasant. So it isn’t a very pleasant song, but technically decently written. it’s a nice variation from my mellow indie stuff though.

question: 
-should i add a bridge and what new perspective should it bring?
-do you like the melody?
-what feeling does this give you?

review (6/10): this is actually a very familiar melody to me, i wrote the core song in twenty minutes. but hey as long as it serves the songs’ emotion, it’s fine for now. The song is decent, chorus is clear. i do wish i could’ve refined this a bit more, because i feel like i wrote this on automatic pilot. but also i can’t get enough perspective in a day to sit with it and listen and refine and hear what exactly is wrong. as of now, i lost all perspective on it and don’t know what’s wrong with it. but the most important part is that i learned from it, which i did. it is another rep at the music-gym for me 🙂

review (7/10): good melody, nice vibe. but i don’t know what it’s about, i do feel that the emotion is being felt which counts as well. and it does make sense. 
questions: 
-what do you feel when you listen to this? what is the theme for you?
-can you hear where the chorus is?
-do you like the melody?

review (6/10): i never would’ve developed this song otherwise, i consider this to be one of my “decent but not special” songs. I think it’s a bit empty and monotone, and that a bit of production definitely would help. but i need to repeat a process for these okay-ish songs to develop an internal system of what works and what doesn’t. 

questions: 
-is there a slight mismatch emotionally between verse and chorus?
-how could i make the arrangement less monotone?
-can you tell where the chorus is? how can i make it more obvious?

been trying to crack this one for a couple days. the "I cant kill myself without ... you too" line feels like either a good verse line or a bad chorus.

what kind of structure is this and what other emotional structures should I add? the current core thought is "I wanna kill myself but don't want to make my relatives sad" (its a character song)

I've tried so many chorus variations the past couple days on this, I will review it again in a month or so with fresh ears but in the meantime I'm going to ask your opinion- what should be the emotional decision that naturally comes out of the verse?
