Also, one last thing in addition to my previous post is that I will only believe a scientist (someone who knows exceptionally well about the human brain and any mental talents that are possible).  If this scientist were to tell me that this so-called mental talent I have is just nonsense and my songs are somehow not what I feel they are, only then will I believe this scientist.  

I mean, there are people who have natural mental talents such as visualizing and creating visual works of art in their head, excellent memorization, etc.  But again, I will only believe a scientist if I am given absolute proof that I don't have a mental talent for making music in my head and that my feelings about my songs are somehow false.


  So essentially you just came here to tell us how awesome you are, right? 

Well good for you. Enjoy being awesome. I'll continue making ACTUAL music that OTHER human beings can HEAR and hopefully enjoy.

I'll also do my best to avoid being a delusional bloviating narcissist in the process.

Have a nice day. 

BTW... I actually am a scientist. I mean I don't have any degrees in science or anything but in my head I've got the laws of physics TOTALLY figured out. Even all that fancy brain stuff. I can't write it out or explain it to you but rest assured... I have scientifically deduced you are an arse.

Birds do it.

Frogs do it.

Crickets do it.












I have to admit the concept "songs that would be worthy of a new movie trailer or something..." is awesome.


The next time I watch a movie trailer I'm gonna listen a lot more carefully.


Thanks.








best regards,
mike

@Beepster:  Now I am being completely honest in explaining myself.  All I'm trying to do is wanting to learn about this so-called mental music talent of mine and if it's as powerful as I say it is.  I am wanting to learn about feelings in music, musical mental talents, etc when making my posts.

That's your proof that you have talent? Because it's not impossible. 

To me that would be the very first clue of the opposite. Anyone that easily satisfied w/ themselves quite often dwell at the exact opposite of true creative genius.

@ohgrant... Yeah, that became pretty apparent a little while ago but if he enjoys being a punching bag I got some extra internet rage-ahol to spare. ;-) 

Just annoyed I wasted time typing up that little bit of theory for him. Glad I didn't go into more depth.

Cheers.

We never do that for the trolls themselves, anyway, do we... I mean, the answers are directed to them, but the discussion extends way beyond that context and often brings interesting points.

After listening to your ideas in your first post my impression is that your ideas are not that great to start with. Sorry but as someone who has written music for trailers and many other things I am of the opinion that the ideas are only mediocre at best.

It is only after you do all the hard work and also listen to the greatness that many others have produced you then start to realise that your original ideas are pretty boring. But that does not mean though that your ideas are always going to be mediocre. The good news is that after the hard work they should get better.

The problem here is that your are delusional in thinking your ideas are great, sorry they are not. It is only you who thinks that they are great. But it is good that you are at least getting ideas. Do some listening and you will start to get the idea. How much real listening do you do.

Melodic ideas are one thing but what about the harmony that goes with that and then what about the arrangement and what everything else is doing to support melodies and harmony. The rhythm. You have got a long way to go. But unless you do the real work and it is a long hard road in some respects those mediocre ideas will only ever stay that way and they will never progress beyond that. You will probably remain frustrated. Frustration is often a result of not being able to fully express yourself.

Like I said with my previous post, no negativity is intended from this topic and I am not being a troll of anysort.  I just want to know if this mental talent is as powerful as I feel it is (if it's something worth pursuing despite my lack of enjoyment, or that I should just move on with my life in doing what I do normally)? 


Again, I enjoy physically making music and learning--but sometimes I feel I should just escape reality and play my videogames instead.
