Insight into the making of weekly 1 minute song ideas

[@YosuaOs]

Treating music production like a workout is a great life hack. Results may not come in an instant, but we’re getting better in each day.

[@akers_music]

🙌🙌🙌 exactly :D

[@owenchaim610]

i like how you take a break when you get stuck to allow more ideas to come to you. well done!

Seeing your listening position I recommend buying Isoacoustics ISO-155 and putting the Kalis on them slightly tilted up. Trust me.

[@akers_music]

Thanks for the tip. I am currently putting together a new set up so will put this on the list. Thanks again and wishing you a super day 🙋🏻‍♀️✨

[@cedd361]

Nice stuff! Currently in a creative rut for sometime and this made me stop overthinking much. You also seem really chill😊. Can't wait for another one.

[@akers_music]

Thank you for watching Cedd. Happy to hear my video may have helped you out a bit. I really hope you rise out of your rut soon and find your music flow again. Take care.

[@marcbecker]

That’s totally meeeh and I really love it. But how do you organize all those snippets? That’s the weakest part of my process. I usually don’t review and fav my stuff what makes it harder to continue working on it. Sometimes I‘m lucky to use different ideas in one final song.

[@akers_music]

Hi! I find that creating a new song is the most fun part and is relatively easy… making choices, editing and doing the boring part (listening over and over checking details) can be really hard. The 1 minute song is not about creating a song to release, when I get hung up on details, I remind myself of this and it allows me to take bold moves and delete parts (even if they are cool). Don’t think, just do. It’s about building up skills, discovering new sounds and having fun without losing weeks of your life! I hope my answer helps. Keep working on your music and processes. I am sure you are doing great :)

[@marcbecker]

@ That’s absolutely amazing. Thank you! 🙏🏼

00:54 In your video is around the time My nabors bang on the walls, shouts or blast pop music to ruin My recordings, that's the problem with doing music in a block of flats.

[@waynesworldizm]

Like the lofi electronic style. Do you produce Hip Hop/ trap style beats also as I think that would be interesting with your vocal.

[@akers_music]

Hi Wayne 🙋🏻‍♀️… I am playing around at the mo & each week so far, the vibe changes but I’ll keep your suggestion in mind for the next session. Thank you, I appreciate your message 🙏🙋🏻‍♀️✨

[@carlosfonseca2216]

I am new to music and I have written some songs with good melodies, I am looking for artists who want to sing my songs

[@akers_music]

Hi Carlos, wishing you all the best with your music. I am focussing on my own musical journey at the mo so am not available for collab. Take care, 🙋🏻‍♀️✨

[@Danstarr13]

I relate pretty strongly with the creative process here, some days a good idea just comes instantly almost because I’m not trying anything specific, and others I end up spending hours only to realise this is garbage, what are you doing, delete this now before someone else hears it

[@akers_music]

Nice to hear! I find it a great way to be free in the creative process and I believe I am making much better music because of it than if I tried to write a complete song every time. Thanks for listening and getting in touch. Take care 🙋🏻‍♀️✨

[@JTguitarlessons]

I can't pay attention when you're this pretty, come on nowww haha

You should find a partner who you can bounce ideas off like Karra.

I wish.. that would be so great.

*Spoiler alert* This is how you end up with a pile of unfinished tracks

[@Embrrzz]

why u say dat

[@Andrii-pw5nk]

@@Embrrzz this is my experience and a lot of musicians are strugling with this too. It really takes a lot of time and effort to make a good track which lasts longer that a minute and the only reason why I'd go for a 1 min track is just simply to check one or another technique/idea. However I'd never release such a small peace. Anyway it's all subjective feel free just to ignore me, however I can't remember any good song which lasts just a minute... just like in a sex ;)

[@Embrrzz]

@@Andrii-pw5nk loool bro, tbh i agreed when i read that so wanted to hear bout ur experience which makes sense. very funny comparison haha

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

@@Andrii-pw5nk Once your at the 1 minute mark it's pretty easy to extent to 2 minutes by simply duplicating what you already have and adding something extra ontop second time around and loop the second verse twice add a break down and that's it 3 minuts.

[@Andrii-pw5nk]

@@HOLLASOUNDS hi mate! Sure, I have an idea on how to arrange music and deal with the loops. Approach you mentioned is valid, but however it depends on a lot of things, genre/style for example. I saw a lot of videos over here, like “how to exit a 4bar loop” and sure I had the same problem before. Btw, sometimes you may want to remove some elements after X bars, not just add more

[@Deepdiveintomymind]
