Using Experimental Musical Techniques When Creating Songs

The president of NITV Federal Services (NFS) for more than 30 years based in Florida, Dr. Charles Humble has created software used by thousands of law enforcement agencies nationwide. Engaging in many artistic hobbies, Charles Humble records acoustic music and vocals and distributes his work online. Experimental musical techniques can be used during any step of creating a song, resulting in a dynamic listening experience.

Though digital music creation, mixing, and mastering software give people more tools to work with, they are qualitatively different from playing a physical instrument. If you play an instrument, or have a history of doing so, use that experience to guide you. Record yourself improvising on that instrument every day, and after several weeks, listen to those recordings. Use material from those improvisations to inspire new work.

Alternatively, if you want to embrace the opportunities afforded by digital instruments and software, you can use techniques like field recording. By capturing sounds, spontaneously or planned, in a space outside a traditional recording studio, you can produce more varied work. If you wish to introduce spontaneity into a recording or live performance, use randomness to determine what notes, rhythms, or other sounds play. If performing live, you can employ these techniques to ensure that no two performances will sound exactly alike.
