Let's play a game

[Juho L]

I got an idea from that "People forgetting the human" thread.

For the rest of the December, everyone forgets all tech babble and instead focuses on conrete and essential parts of music and production, like composing, mixing/mastering, playing and listening. All of you who can't play well (or at all), practise playing. Learn to read score. Learn chrods and chord theory. Widen your taste of music by listening to some totally different music you usually listen to. Try to compose/produce something different for a change. Share thoughts on composing, production, music. Etc, etc.

If everyone starts to play that game, we have a bit (a hell of a lot actually) higher level of musicanship on the forum at the beginning of 2005.

To keep a track on the progress everyone could post their own list of achievements for December and the update the list until the end of 2004.

December 10th - Did some vocal practises today. Sung through few songs. Also practised Czerny exercises for half an hour.

Like that. Now everybody stop talking about aliasing and start doing something useful. Hoho.
