Write a funny song with local music friends

Andrés Pereira

I'd like to invite two friends to write a short song about an ordinary inconvenience, using instruments we already have. Could the missing bus become the drummer? We can keep it informal and agree credits if we later share a recording.

Could we begin with a short rhythm and a few lines? Someone can suggest a tune, and we can say when we do not know. I'd like a little song, not an audition for an invisible orchestra.

On “Write a funny song with local music friends”, I would like to try something similar where I am. Would you mind comparing what needs adapting? I need to allow for this: I am still finding my way around a new neighbourhood.

I can work with that distinction. I want to keep “Write a funny song with local music friends” manageable for the people involved. That would be useful. We should compare the conditions instead of assuming the same arrangement works in both places.

I would also like to record a short original track with the equipment I already own. I have tried making a little space for song arranging; the difficult part was keeping the session small enough to repeat.

Would you want me to bring suggestions from song arranging, or would that pull your plan in the wrong direction?

I would keep “Write a funny song with local music friends” as one small invitation. A different version of a related wish could teach us something without either of us copying the other's whole plan.

Karl-Otto Christoph, that helps me separate the purpose from the details. I can alter the activity without losing the reason for wanting to meet.
