An Interest In Music
Original Post: http://krankhaus.net/forum/index.php?topic=10078.0
Ganguro666 from Angelspit’s Forum asked me about STUFF…here’s my response.
I have a great interest in music and lately I find myself with a great desire to create it, explore it, and then fuck it up. The only problem is that I don’t really think I have much talent in the way of music, I don’t know any instruments or anything like that but I do love to sing (even if I’m probably not very good) and write poems/lyrics.
Even if I don’t posses an ounce of musical talent, do you have any suggestions of some ways that I can be involved in making music?
I have a friend who also claims to have “no musical talent”…but his left foot is PURE GENIUS.
He has this amazing ability to come up with this very simple and effective rhythms by just tapping his left foot.
…I kid you not! This is his knack:
1) listen to a beat or a musical idea
2) tap your left foot (only works with his left foot…his right foot has no talent)
3) assign notes to the rhythm from his foot. Use octaves or the minor pentatonic scale (the black notes) it will work miracles.
Record your lyrics, decide on a tempo, slot them into a verse/chorus structure then apply the LEFT FOOT MAJIK.
Ever thought of learning the guitar? – it’s awesome therapy. Strum along using the rhythm from your left foot.
Another option: you might be an awesome lyricist/vocalist – ever thought of teaming up with a music writer?
I know several music makers who are looking for lyricists!! check our forum:

Most important: GOOD GEAR DOES NOT NESSISARILY MAKE GOOD MUSIC
Good music comes from good ideas…and it can be made with cheap shitty gear. Many people fall into the trap of thinking “if i just got one more synth I can make this happen”. This is just procrastinating.
making music is FUN – inventiveness is the key.
I hope this helps!
ROCK!
