Songwriting Exercises - Handout Songwriting Exercises by Joel Mabus Scaffolding Stuck? Here’s an old trick to get you going. What a good song offers is structure, repetition, form and balance. Try this exercise: A) Take some song you like — any song at all from any era, any style — just so long as it is familiar to you. B) Write a new lyric to that song. C) Take that new lyric and write completely new music to it. D) Edit. (Or you could do A-C-B-D — write the new music to the “scaffold” song and then write a new lyric.) What remains is a new song with only a hint of the “ghost” song that acted as a scaffold for the process. Listmaking Out of ideas? A list could become a song (remember “My Favorite Things” or Tom T Hall’s “I Love...”) or could be a starting pad for an essay song, enumerating facts or feelings. Focused Imaging Similar to listmaking, but more purposeful, is putting your imagination to work in creating a scene, place or mood. Imagine a perfect day in your childhood – or the day your childhood sweetheart left you.

Infinite Jukebox Lets You Listen to an Ever-Changing Version of Your Favorite Song, Forever Do you really, really like one particular song – enough to listen to it forever? Well, now you can. Seriously, you can now start your favorite song and hear it played in random variations until the end of time. Or until December 21st, according to some people. Your gateway to this is the Infinite Jukebox, “for when your favorite song just isn’t long enough,” it says. The Infinite Jukebox is a product of a Music Hack Day hosted at MIT in Boston. Here’s how Lamere breaks down the process behind the Infinite Jukebox: “The app works by sending your uploaded track over to The Echo Nest, where it is decomposed into individual beats. So, in theory, there are an infinite number of paths that any particular song can take and if you let it go, it will never stop. (image) Not all songs will perform equally as well inside the Infinite Jukebox. You can head on over to the Infinite Jukebox and try it out today.

Daxophone,experimental musical instrument invented by Hans Reichel,bowed and plucked idiophone The Daxophone was invented by Hans Reichel, and is a musical instrument of the friction idiophone category. It consists of a thin wooden blade fixed in a wooden block, which holds one or more contact microphones, and is usually mounted on a tripod. Most often, it is played by bowing the free end, but it can also be struck or plucked, which propagates sound in the same way a ruler halfway off a table does. These vibrations then continue to the wooden-block bass, which are then amplified by the contact mics. A wide range of voice-like timbres can be produced, depending on the shape of the instrument, the type of wood, where it is bowed, and where along its length it is stopped with a separate block of wood called the "Dax". One side of the Dax is fretted to produce fixed pitches, while the other side is a smooth curve, to play more fluid pitch changes. The sounds that come from the Daxophone are often very unexpected and sometimes very comical sounding!
