The TOT Music Creation Thread
Hello lovely creative people, after an inspirational idea born in the tent, some of us think it would be a good idea to perhaps try something
unique and creative allowing members to come together and create some music together.
You do not have to have any background experience playing any instruments because you are all creative writers to begin with.
Some songwriters begin writing a story using lyrics, others just write instrumental pieces allowing others to write words afterwards.
There is no right or wrong way to make music so literally anyone can contribute in any way even if it is just a simple idea.
However, there are some very talented musicians already in the forum who will already be aware of the logistics that goes in to song creation.
So how do we start?
Clearly we are all uniquely different in many aspects especially in music tastes, but the one thing we have in common is our quest to learn the truth.
What better way to share what we have learned using the universal language of music itself?
Already in the tent, some members have started jotting down some lovely lyrics that perhaps can be used so it was thought best to start a thread where we can encompass all these ideas together and of course find ease of access to the suggested material.
Purple Lama suggested that we initially keep this thread members only mods until we are ready to unleash some musical truth into the universe!
Okay so this may take quite a little while to get going because there may be many ideas that may need a different type of instrumental backing.
So initially, might I suggest lyric ideas from those of you who wish to participate?
You might want to write something to help people wake up?
You might want to write about Tesla or Cayce,or about love and all its beauty, its all up to you, please feel free to be creative as you wish ....because you are all free spirits!
For the experienced instrumentalists in the forum, and there are quite a few, 777, Modwiz, Tribe and John Parslow to name just a couple, if you want to contribute any original instrumental or percussional score to this thread then that would be also fantastic.
So far I would like to cut and paste some lyrics that Fred, Ronin and BabaRa have already penned in the tent:
(a) ronin
I woke this morning
Opened my eyes for the very first time .
Perception overload,
geometric shapes above.
Colors that spoke of love,
A frequency change in me.
My life has now begun.
But going where
I know not, nor care
Simply watching and waiting
What next will appear
(b) Fred
I woke this morning to find I wasn't there
The journey had begun, for which I'd not prepared
Who was the stranger, lying in my bed?
Quite rumpled and fuzzy
calling himself - Fred!
(c)
Begin your own or continue with one above.
Get the idea?
So folks, here we have a wonderful opportunity to go on a journey together so lets see where it takes us.
Finally there is no monetary agenda behind this idea, this is purely and simply a chance to see what we can create together working in harmony.
Drum roll........let the show begin!
