Blog - A Better MusicAL Day

16th August 2024

Yesterday's attempts at an ALChoon ended up much better than the previous day.

Once I'd decided to let go of my issues, of repeating myself and going in loops, I found that I was much better at forming lyrics for this week's ALChoon.
Some times you worry and stress too much about repeating yourself, and you just have to remind yourself to create what your head seems to want, instead of constantly battering yourself over the head with rules and limits and such.
AGameAWeek is hard enough without worrying about too much repetition. I've made nearly 900 games, now, and there's bound to be a little familiarity with the games.
And the tunes are in a similar state, now, too. With over 1,000 tunes in the archive, I shouldn't complain if a few of them are kinda samey.

That's not really the issue, here, though.
For the Recorded album I wanted to challenge my creative side, and within the space of three songs, I've written lyrics that are alarmingly similar.
That's kind of a problem, isn't it?
And trying to find sounds to record is even an issue.
Bah.
Maybe I just need to get out more, and record some epic background audio for interpreting into songs?

This week's ALChoon includes the sound of the fridge door "whoop"ing as it's being closed.
It's a fun little sound, but it's nothing to write home about.

As I hunt around the room, there's a floppy disk drive on the Amiga, a DVD drive that can spin up, a Video Cassette player that'll maybe play unless it's dead (that's not been tested for a while)
But that's about it, really.
I have a lot of quiet technology, it seems.
Hmmm..
