to the op : just keep listening to music: all types of music. definitely take in as much non-edm as you can. listen to classical music, classic movie soundtracks, songs from great songwriters.
also, go at it from another angle. find soloists whose single, solo, melodic performances invoke a sense of a complete accompaniment. then try to do the same (no need to be an accomplished musician; whistling in the shower will do)
If you want any kind of edge within a traditionally cut 'n' paste, drag 'n' drop genre, then you need to start listen to everything

so sure what you do
I haven't a clue

where's the 14 years old musician when you need him?
Whoever wants music instead of noise, joy instead of pleasure, soul instead of gold, creative work instead of business, passion instead of foolery, finds no home in this trivial world of ours.

re-mastering Beatles' records on earbuds and iPad, making sure that kicks sound as punchy as metronome clicks, since for them there's no distinction between kick drum and metronome click, both sound the same on iPhone speaker while hanging around in Walmart.murnau wrote:where's the 14 years old musician when you need him?
