i talk about music, and i also make the music. amateur composer and producer with stars in her eyes


some kind of pseudo aristotelian unity is important to me, and i think where i'm at with that right now is that a unified instrumentation is a good way to achieve that. after some brainstorming and realizing that i've been working pretty hard at sample manipulation (and i want to learn renoise better), i think my idea right now is to give myself a limited time, like 8 hours total, to build a small collection of samples to use, and that's what i get. said samples will be pulled from VST patches, actual hardware of mine, and royalty-free sample collections, but once my personal collection is built, that's it, no expanding out from it

what i ask from you, dear reader, is the following:

what do you do to establish a sense of unity across a longer-form work of music?

in reply to @amelyssan's post:

I put everything complete in a folder, and then when Im assembling a reliece I listen back to the stuff in the folder and pick things. (I also have a folder for stuff that's mostly complete, and Ill pull from there too.)

Sometimes Ill tweak or rework things for stylistic unity, but I find that I naturally tend to circle around the same generas/styles and so, in theory, if I just wait long enough I'll end up with enough music for a ep or whatever.
