n a trip to England he discovered punk bands like the Stranglers the Buzzcocks and the Clash. For him it was like finding the Beatles. A true music geek he then got into pioneering electronic acts like Kraftwerk Neu and Can. “I used to judge the quality of music by whether I could make a 90-minute cassette and not repeat any artists” he said. He knew what he liked and he used to buy albums based on who the producer was but realizing he didn’t have an ear for music he found his true calling. “The only reason I got into movies was because I had no music talent” he admitted.

How I Create Electronic Music
Internet DJ
Now from listening I make a hook in melodics. That is something that goes well with the tension and is repetitive but variating mostly around the 4-5 octave and has elements of or follows the structure of the chords. It can be as less as 3 notes but it has not to remain too much in the music only be remaining in the mind and rembered by the listener. Now I add the chorus chord part with all the dynamics on the chords such as filtering note decay chorus depth distortion amount gain whatever you can apply to make it dynamic and full sounding maybe some basic drums and melodic accents. Then make a hook to that. It has to be rock solid something that you can hum or singMake it within the shift you have applied to the chord parts and think of shifting it more or back later when it returns make it around the 7th note of the main scale or used chords maybe maybe use combinations of 2 notes in the scale of the theme from the used chord(s). This is where I go adding more structure to the song an intro with drums or instruments then a verse then chorus then whatever maybe the verse again maybe the chorus again maybe the outro already choose and structure.
