I do it mostly for myself, to get those melodies out of my head so I can go to sleep in peace

Sharing them over the net with friends and strangers is just icing on the cake. Specially when they seem to like the tunes.

yeah who would want to have melodies in their head when they sleep... at least not if they are scary and haunting

I could say something, but that would be repeating exactly what Germ has said a couple of posts before.

1. Me, myself and I. In that order.

2. Duo project, 1 public release so far. Would like the next one to be better. A lot better.

3. Neighbour. Once I put together a track to have something godawful to play VERY LOUDLY, repeat-button pressed, in spirit of hateful revenge while I went to the supermarket early one morning a few days after my next-door fake-goth neighbour had woke me up with a particularly annoying 80's M.O.R. folk tune at 5 a.m.

I knew exactly what I was after - badly cut loops a few hundred milliseconds to short to give them that skipping record torture effect, organ-stabs through a feedback-y echo unit, short and repetitive infantile melodies sung flat and with a slightly hysterical voice. It's amazing how easily you come up with the ideas once you have a defined audience.

Hmm.. it's a funny mix. About 50% is just for me, because I have to or I'd go (more) insane. Stupid pain in the ass creative drive!

Then about 25% is for friends - writing tunes for people I know - potential girlfriends, current girlfriend, ex-girlfriends, that sort of thing. And some for people that say something that inspires a song as well!

The last 25% is my lame attempt to write something I think other people might be willing to spend their hard-earned cash on. What I write isn't terribly commercial and despite my better efforts I can't force myself to make a pop song for love or money, but I can tone down the weirdness a bit and increase my potential audience about 500%! I'm not sure I'm winning the battle, though.

The other me.

I'm not even sure I make music for me. I just do it because it is an excellent source of fun. I suppose that equates to me, but only in the same way that I go to the toilet for me (also fun!)

Releasing music on the other hand, is a communal affair.

Like Kellogg's (well kinda) 'I don't make music for anyone else'...or something.

I have to agree with Sepheritoh ("the other me"). I find my music tends to be more about allowing myself the freedom to do whatever I feel like than anything else.

Of course, I do like when people listen to my music and like it.

4 the love of my neighbours ...

for whom do you make music?
