Making music
Share this article:
Over the past few months I have been experimenting with music and sounds to see if I can make backing tracks over which I can then record a poem. The poems I am using are from a sequence I am still writing about a character called Blue. I have been writing about this character for a few decades now. For some reason, I keep being drawn back to him. This will be the fourth sequence of poems.
As I have been making music (mainly with the GarageBand app) I have found it much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. So far I have produced 11 tracks – they all need work on them, especially to improve the voice recording. But I am really pleased with the way the project is developing.
Last week I spent some time learning how Bandcamp works, and set up an account there. If you want to listen to a couple of the rough edits of the tracks from the project you can take a listen for free. Follow this link – just two tracks there at the moment. But once it is ready, I will put the whole album up. It’s never too late to start a musical career! Especially if you begin with no expectations.
