this is a really cool idea. so for I think you're executing it very well.

Anyone know how to make a similar sounding atmospheric arp to these 2 songs:

throughout the beginning of Icarus by Madeon


About 11 secounds in Infinitum by Ninth Parallel

I have tried countless methods but nothing I try sounds quite like these 2 songs.

(Note, i am not trying to rip off Ninth Parallel and Madeon, I just want to know how they did it)

Thanks!

would posting a topic in the WIP section titled "Looking for Collaborator" or something like that be appropriate?

these are great so far!

I thought I would start a topic that could serve as a place to post videos that inspire you to work hard and achieve your goals.

This is a short video by Casey Neistat (who if you don't watch regularly, I HIGHLY recommend you do so.) I thought I would share this, it is super inspiring when applied to my specific goals, hope it can do the same for you.

That makes sense, thanks for your feedback Mat.

In 2011, was obsessed with youtube, and the community that surrounded it. I was watching Epic Meal Time, and they had an episode with a man in a fully chromed out Mouse helmet. I heard "Cthulhu sleeps" and I was Instantly hooked. Over the next year I became the weird kid who listened to "Techno" music. Inevitably, I started looking into electronic music production soon after. Deadmau5 gave me a new outlook on music and I am forever grateful.

I often come across writers block after I finish a song or project that I have been working on exclusively for a long time. I usually try and take a 2-3 day break from production to listen to new music and get the creative juices flowing. I also find it helpful try to leave my house, if I can, and interact with people I like being around.

What keeps your ideas fresh?
