(World) Melody Advice Needed
Posted: 09 Apr 2024
I recently got back into music/Reason, but I realize the one thing that eluded me for much of my previous exploration still continues to be my weak spot. I just. Can't. Melody.
Was working on a track for an older challenge on this forum, and I've got some major ideas for the main percussive elements of the track, but I just. Can't. Melody.
So I am looking for advice - how does one go about even thinking what sort of melody will fit here? I tried Scales and Chords, the Chord selector player thing, and a few YouTube videos on how to Melody, specifically in the Vikings genre. But I just. Can't... you catch my drift, the ships are floating wayward.
Here's the sample (volume alert , there's no mixing on this yet, so please play at a lower volume, especially for the drop soon into the track):
Any pointers you have are very much appreciated! I am beginning to enjoy the track, but the melody, man, sheesh.
