So the time has come, it's been 30years or over since the birth of acid house and rave! To my ears nothing has touched it since, you may of had a few sub genres like dubstep or clownstep but it was nothing real and never really got big, shrillex ruined that!
But how could we invent a new Genre?
My New Music Manifesto..
1. Change Time signature? If you have 3/4 4/4 5/8 or so on, could you have 3and a half/4 or 2and quarter/4. I remember my mate did Dance music on his Amiga in 3/4 which sounded good and different swing feel. Most dance/rave tunes are in 4/4.
2. You could change the Scale, use different tones or monotones, modern contemporary scale starts on A=440hz try making your own scales with different pitches. When making a synth use different wave frequencies like instead of starting at 440 do 445.50 with 447.25 with 449.12.5 hz. And so on, or try your own maths.
3. Sample original sounds, getting a sensitive recorder and record sounds outside and in nature.
4. Stop using the same boring rave acappellas and get original lyrics from a good female singer.
What else could I add?
Cheers
