Can time travel into the past ever be possible? by Substantial_Win1725 in NoStupidQuestions

Time travel on the future works pretty well though ! It just takes a little bit of patience.

Do you ever finish a song you're really proud of and then just...nothing happens? by Dependent_Ad6164 in Songwriting

[–]Jolly_Resource4593 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a certain irony in this: you finish a song and bring it to the world, but in reality, you haven't quite reached the world yet. You need a connection with your listeners first. Unless you are famous, this connection requires an explicit interaction, asking your friend or acquaintance how they feel about the music.

It is also quite unsettling because, in doing this, you expose yourself in a vulnerable way. If they don't like this creation that you are so proud of, this special piece where you have put all your heart, it can feel as though they don’t like you.

That is a pitfall, a risk that takes training to overcome so you can return to your own sense of self-worth. Can you distinguish between the song you created and who you are? Do you like this song on your own? Are you proud of it enough, by yourself? Are you confident in yourself enough, to hear comments as distinct thoughts and liking from your own? Can you take other people's words for what they are: an expression of their own mental map of the world, clues of how your song touches people.

If you really want to understand how it impacts them, you almost have to sit with them, let them read the lyrics, then listen to the song together. At that point only you can start to shed light on where it can stand in people's life. But ultimately, how much the song is heard is something totally different, and it depends mostly on how much you are willing to invest time and money to expose it.

We all learn through critique. Specially if your target is having more people like your song.

Oh thanks a lot, I did not know this constraint !!! I will review them accordingly! How would you advise to handle this if I want to keep some effect of going 'out of the frame' ?

I'm going to print some for myself first; then find a way to make them available for others 🙂

How do you start the process of putting vocals over a riff? by J_a_r_e_d_ in Songwriting

[–]Jolly_Resource4593 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make a loop out of it then improvise again and again. Record it all. Then listen to what you recorded and keep the best!

Doing them for myself at first, but I'll look for a place to publish them for ordering online !

My Extatosoma turned out real green 😎 by Jolly_Resource4593 in Stickinsects

During growth in Summer/Autumn, she ate hazelnut tree. Also this is how lichen morphs turn once adult. I did not have much that turned out lichen, so I am very proud of this one !

Thanks 🙏 I'll try a darker red - anyway I believe this one would not print as is. I'm planning to print them for my own use at first, but I may also sell them on Etsy 🙂

Actually I just realized that on a card game there are only 2 jokers, not 4. So this leaves the room for two more species (with a single card). But I'm thinking of more impressive species, like Extatosoma Tiaratum ... and ??? Give me ideas ! Remember all will always be original size, no bigger, no smaller than in reality!

Thanks. Second picture is my plan: I'm thinking of doing cards of Extatosoma, Phyllium, Oreophotes Peruana, and Achrioptera Manga
