Most Pop music is recyled progressions and riffs.
Pretty much every commercial tune I hear I instantly think of a bunch of other tunes you could easily mix it with due the ridiculous similarity.

Or maybe I have a level of Austistic musical memory lol

Most Art is plagiarism.

KVR is full of people trying to rip off there favourite artists

Wasnt there a news story a few years ago where someone tried to copyright every possible 12 tone combination?

Film music is that too. The string ensemble plays a fast C-5, F-5, G#5, F-5, arpeggio that loops forever and then the brass section comes in to slowly play: C-5, C#5, D#5, E5, F5.

In that case you should create your own notes, scales and chords. For example, my last composition was in the key of Slightly-Lemony Cottage, which consists entirely of frequencies which are the square root of prime numbers.

It's happened to me a few times too. I ended up recreating a melody used in Zelda once - same key and everything - and the reason was because the melody uses a hexatonic scale in D minor, where the melody moves from D, to E, to A, to G. It's a very common pattern because those notes are very prominently featured in the D, G and A chords, which is a very common chord progression.

Hexatonic scales are scales that amateur musicians tend to gravitate to because they often omit the dissonant 6th note, which in this case, was A#, and I was an amateur at that point.

So accidents will happen.

Learning is sort of plagiarism if you think about it. What's wrong with learning how someone did something? Do we not copy some of our parents' methods? Are we all copies of our parents?

the universe around us is the inspiration for all art.

it's each individual's perception of the universe that results in creativity.

you might use the same 10 notes in the exact same order as someone else, but it's all in how you use them, how you play them, how you communicate them, and most importantly, how you enjoy them.

to write well, you must read well. to compose well, you must listen well.

if you see a pretty girl who is interested in you, do you simply not sleep with her just because someone else has already slept with her?

if someone at dinner orders the same thing you were going to order, does that make you change your order?

if you start to write a song and realize someone else wrote a very similar song, do you just give up and not write the song?

or do you just do what you do, no matter what someone else thinks or does, because YOU ENJOY DOING IT?!

I have not heard all music in this world. Too much movies and videogames in existence. Once i have heard all soundtracks ever created. There is no space for new songs to be created since it will very likely recreate one song from the big soundtrack folder.

Unique melodies are still possible, you just have to think ahead a few steps.

Wrong notes are probably being hit in the sequence. Making the music sound out of tune with other instruments.

It's been posted before, so why not here...

Can the melody of my music already exist before i created it?
