In the previous episode I looked at an approach to songwriting \u2018inside the box\u2019 so that we can make sure our songs effectively carry our story and connect with the listener.<\/p>\n<p>The melody is our tune, it\u2019s the part that usually get\u2019s stuck in our head. We want to make sure our melodies carry our mood, are engaging, have good flow, and provide natural lift and drop where the story needs it. I chat about a few ways we can make sure our melodies achieve this, and how we can set up a checkbox to make sure every future song makes the most of good melody.<\/p>\n<p>The Rhythm carries so much of our feel, but often we just set and forget. Rhythm is broken down into divisions, from whole notes, through to 16th, 32nds, or faster depending on your genre. This episode talks about we can effectively use the different divisions throughout our song to carry the story line, bringing dynamics and movement to our song. Again setting up a checkbox to make sure we implement such movements every time we write.<\/p>\n<p>I create weekly podcast\u2019s just like this one, about doing music for a living as an independent artist,  you can find those on YouTube, and your favourite podcast app.<\/p>\n<p>From Musician To Artist<\/p>\n<p>For enquires about how we could work together on your music head to my website <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dottedeight.com\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.dottedeight.com<\/a> or email me at Studio@dottedeight.com<\/p>\n<p>The podcast episodes are filmed and recorded in my studio, the Dotted Eight Studio.
