October 9, 2013


What am I actually marking in your music project/songs?

  1. Originality - don’t copy something else 
  2. Dynamics - changes in the structure of the song - volume, part of song, instrumentation, flow, speed, etc
  3. Tracks - multiple tracks with changes in the tracks
  4. Length - over 1 minute, aiming for 2
  5. Interest - hold the listener’s attention
  6. Clever use of musical elements - different “things” - sounds, loops, parts, mixing genres or bits of this and that (remixing)
  7. Evokes a certain feeling or mood
  8. Visualize something - emotion that translates to an imagined “scene” 
  9. Some people actually put some visuals to their song - slide show - this will REALLY help if you’re doing it in a soundtrack style
  10. Fits into a genre or recognizable form
