Surprise surprise it sounds like one of his tracks. 
The next day it's Tokimonsta. My track sounds exactly like one of hers. The list goes on.
Even when i don't listen to music and i don't have any songs in my head i always seem to somehow end up subconsciously ripping off a chord sequence or melody or drum pattern.
I think it's because i know what sounds dope and i try to translate it into my own musical language but this just always happens.
How do i escape this vicious circle of accidental rip offs and how did you come to realise your own musical identity? |
Eiic Clapton says he got his identity from the bits he put in between the licks he was copying and being an imperfect copyist. Others have said they were trying to copy others and failing (U2 I at least I think).
Here's an idea take some aspects of Dibia$e and mix it with aspects of Tokimonsta. Soma aspects from Mozart and some from Chuck Berry....
