Composers.ca Info for Composers and Songwriters !
The Internet is helping to level the playing field between the well-connected and the not-so-well connected . It is our hope, that these pages can offer songwriters and composers ideas for developing the craft of songwriting now as well as how to protect and submit the finished and even the "not-yet-completed-need-some-external-input" songs. Original music is needed not only by the single song artist and performing groups and bands, but for all types of other uses including television background music, radio jingles, theme music for games, cd-roms etc.. Songs are sought after by top music publishers, producers, managers, film & TV music supervisors, and instrumental music libraries in addition to the big record lables and indies. What if you are sitting on a composition that could be generating royalty
income for you, but you cannot get it in the hands of the right artist
or producer? This site will also create a venue to connect with others
in the industry. If you have any suggestions as to what content you need or would like to see on this site, please drop us an email!
How do we find song ideas? We need to develop our ability to recognize and create lyric ideas from events in everyday life. Where may you ask can you find these ideas. Here are some suggestions. Television presents a variety of controverisial and informative topics which may help you identify and solidify your own point of view on a subject. Radio talk shows are another source of this type of programming and also include emotional and conflict filled situations depicted by callers. Especially the anonymity of radio brings out more substantive dialog. Try to find a psycologist or other human interest program for some real insights into human behavior. When all else fails, listening to the radio may help us come up with our own ideas based on where someone else did not take their composition to. Books and poetry can also get our creative juices flowing. Sometimes we come up with ideas based on topics of discussion with friends or an overheard discussion. Regressing and examining one's own life experience can also come up with topics that interest us personally. Once you make an effort to search out for new ideas, it will be amazing how you respond to new potential ideas on an ongoing basis. It is a good idea to have some type of notepad, micro cassette recorder or other handy device along or at least a pen and paper to make quick notes if you do come up with ideas before they are gone again. If your lyric idea can help people express their hopes, desires, problems, conflicts or dreams which are normally held inside, you will have created a vehicle for expressing these ideas. There are many types of songs ranging from themes of love, message songs, novelty songs, songs written purely for entertainment, event and holiday songs, but they should be expressive if they are to strike a note with listeners. Reviewing the most popular songs and their lyrics (those that went gold and platinum) in the popular music style is one way to see what has worked in the past. |
Exercise in Collaboration A good way to try out collaborating with
some of the best songrwriters in the world is to take any song that has
been a hit or that you really like. |
