The world greatest cliches

My acid project is nothing but cliche's. :)

But here's one for the topic:

"analogue synths are warmer/better/make the owner appear more intelligent/ than digital synths" riiiiiight.... :D

i think the amen-break is becomming a real cliche. :music:

i hate the club 4 step-add patterns.. 4 times the bass loop, then add the claps let it last for 4 loops and add the melody And so on. Like that..

what about every style beeing a cliche? as sson you focus on something like a genre, you restrict yourself to their limitations. thus constraining yourself to the boundarys of a style. in other words, you fall back to an old style, and not creating anything else, or new. i think that allready is a cliche!

and what about the old TR drum machines? are they not a cliche? we''ve heard them so much, i begin to wonder there are no good new drumsynths beeing build! over and over again we keep hearing the same snare, same hihat, and on and on....

i think it's time for new percussion to evolve! get rid of the öldskool'sounds...! :))

You are right. House music does not NEED a TR909. You don't NEED a machinedrum.

On the other hand, don't forget that 'originality' is not important. It hardly exists. Humans always build on what they've seen and heard, which makes it relevant to their fellow-men.

Otherwise your music becomes so eclectic that no-one will be able to understand and appreciate it, let alone like it!

:D yeh but how much music thats made in the past and then even was considered out of this world so nobody listenend to it , is now known as far for its time a great contribution to mankind ? i mean i ratter be in in that position . that people in my own time dont liked my music because they dont understand but over 20 years they all go like what the fuck this kicks ars DONT THINK ABOUT THE PAST THINK ABOUT THE FUTURE wouldnt that be great ! :D

that would not be the only reason to create "new" music! what about you're personal joy, fun, excitement? i rather make something (or at least try) completly different. instead of thinking about what people like. i think it's absolutly ridiculous to tweak a sound with the thought in your head that it has to be a "understandable' sound. why no tweak till nobody any longer understands? it could be the start of a new genre....

EXACTLY!!

If you are not enjoying making your own music, why do you make it anyway?
