how do I write good melodies? how do I write good music?

tfw laurel's one of my fav producers but her twitter is insufferable bullshit

do it alot , play with scales and try figuring out what it is that makes a good melody work

>>70263107
yeah yeah
if you don't know any music theory, learn some

when you listen to music, really pull it apart in your mind. analyze what makes it good.

to write melodies, seriously just fiddle with an instrument you're comfortable with until you find something good. if you can't play any instrument use a random number generator or something

Is this the new "How do I write music like him"?

this is not a meme
i'm unironically looking for answers

Steal. But not from the genre you're making, steal from a completely different genre and translate it to your genre.

>>70263104
it's mostly quirky silliness

>>70263449
but you asked the same thing with an image of the same musician just the other day

>>70263083
good melodies like marshmellow and bloodpop? or good like radiohead and deadmau5?

>>70263754
There are no melodies in deadmau5's music

Saw Laurel Halo the night of the massacre in Paris where ISIS killed 70 people in a club or something.
At midnight everyone knew about it and she seemed visibly upset, then some dude kept yelling her name trying to get her attention and tossed a piece of paper on her board, probably his number or something.

She glanced at it for a second and quickly flicked it off the desk.
Was epic.

Before her Andy Stott played an EPIC set, greatest live music I've ever heard.

>>70263104
agreed
its like she thinks she can make post-whitegurl-entitlement a transgressive thing and she'll sarcastically hashtag #DJ'sComplaining but desu she IS that classically trained trust fund kiddo from a wealthy home that she wants to bat down

she really is a great artist but please sober up and stop being such a cliche Laurel

variation, repetition

Sounds like something someone who's never played the piano before would play

>>70268473
she def needs to lay off the drugs

Almost every single famous DJ who isn't from the hood is a rich trust fund kid tho.

>>70263083
Don't ask /mu/

>>70265751
Sounds like it's out of context. The big leap feels unnatural, but it could work depending on the context.

Try to instead of repeating the exact same thing use the phrases to climb between the steps of the scale, ending on different ones. It helps to know some harmony for this, but just trying to develop a direction for the melody is a first good step.

>>70265751
Well it's a melody

Now what about some harmony

>>70263393
what is KKB?

>>70263083
Honestly the best thing you can do, other than learn theory side by side, is deconstructing music you like and trying to figure out why it works the way it does

people who are good at what they do, whether it's engineering or sculpture or music or toenail collecting are universal enthusiasts. They have a sense of what they like, what they hate, why, and how it could be improved or played with.

Copy, absorb, deconstruct, reconstruct. Solve et coagula

This, particularly if you learn by ear. Everything's going to feel stiff and robotic until it's second nature which is when your intuition gets to come into play.

Develop your ear. Learn those intervals, arpeggiate those chords. Try to sing along, run through your scales with a drone (IE play D Major while a D note plays in the background) and practice with a metronome.

It's that hard and that easy.
