Hi all,
No one gives a rat's ass about my mission to build cheap x-ray units
for the unprivileged world, so I'm done with electronics and any
non-google/other tech firm related engineering.
My new goal is to put a song on the Billboard top 10 by the time I'm
25. Anyone know of any good "learn to music" resources?
Cheers,
-Adam

Almost no-one knows about it. You haven't even run a crowdfunding campaign
for it (which you should do just for the attention). I assure you people
(and the media) would care if you pitched it correctly with a nicely made
video. We have a film-makers collective at Omni you know.
But maybe you _should_ take a long break from that project and do something
creative. One piece of advice though: Before you shelve it for months/years
take an hour to go through all of the files, write notes about everything
for future you and back them up offline in multiple locations. Future you
will thank past you.
As far as music, I'm kinda looking for some music theory learning stuff
myself. Playing instruments is one thing, but composition is another. I
haven't found anything good.

'Time Capsuling' is happening soon. I suppose you're correct in that there
hasn't been any strong media coverage, but nonetheless,
-- I am seriously burnt out --
Too burnt out to accept funding from a few folks who've offered it, even.
-- I'm done, for an indeterminate period --
Particularly, I'm looking for advice on melody composition. Playing the
piano seems to limit me to jazzy-like melodies only, which isn't quite what
I'm aiming for given I'd like to produce pop music.
Also looking for nice sample packs, for trap/edm, etc.

On a totally other note. Patrik and I were talking about making this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuG1oNRQnyI . Seems simple enough, just
get a microwave transformer. But I would like to see what the fractal
patterns would look like when we vary frequency too.
Do you know of an easy way to do this electronically?

Technical or creative ability has almost nothing to do with selling your
work to millions of people. That's all about marketing.
It looks like to get on the Billboard top 10, your album would have to sell
(in places that measure sales) about 495,000 copies (based on my reading
this article:
http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6473126/billboard-200-…
).
In addition to learning to music, you might also consider researching how
various artists got into the top 10, who helped them along the way, and how
they managed to be noticed by those people.
Anyway, there's a bit of information about this on Quora if you want to get
into it:
https://www.quora.com/Breaking-Into-the-Music-Business/How-can-a-young-musi…
If you're too burnt out to think about marketing and social media, enjoy
the time you have to just make music!

Sounds like you have four challenges ahead of you.
Mastering your instrument, so you can perform. Whether it's your voice or
your hands, it is going to take thousands of hours of training and practice
so your body creates what your imagination hears. Master the Hanon hour of
exercises then the Jazz Hanon so you don't think about your fingers, just
the music.
Learning song writing, and the music theory that lets you document and
improve upon it. The "Sodajerker on Songwriting" podcast is two
professional songwriters from Liverpool interviewing songwriting luminaries
about theIt craft; a remarkably good listen. I rely on the Hal Leonard
Pocket Music Theory to fill in holes in my basic knowledge. Learn jazz
theory because their whole academic universe is as practical and rigorous as
for classical composition but made for songwriting.
Learning production well enough that you can make demos sound great. Pretty
sure there's a Music Production for Dummies book. Recording, editing are
straightforward; improving your performance in post is an art.
As Anca said, you also have to master the business. Licensing, IP
protection, distribution, online merchandising, fan and community
management, small business accounting, tour/gig booking, etc. San Francisco
is not a music publishing capital like L.A. or Nashville; consider moving
to where baristas have songwriters as heroes instead of tech entrepreneurs?
Live among those who share your dream. Work among those from whom you'll
learn the business.
But the best advice I've received as a writer is to write. Write a whole
song — lyrics and music — every day. For a year. Each month look back at
what you wrote and critique yourself, get better. Just write.
Break a leg, Adam.

I recommend hanging out with musicians! Making friends is key in this
industry. Networking allows you to sustain yourself by getting shows, building
fans, and showing record labels that you can sell. In the end, if the
Billboard Top 10 in pop is really what you want, you'll likely want some
monetary backing to get a professionally recorded album with high-profile
shows, riding the coat tails of more famous people as the opener, and
selling records that way. Most bands make their money by touring nowadays,
and even then it is difficult -- sometimes, bands will go on tour and end
up in the red. Although hard, I do think anyone can do it. You just gotta
have the stuff.
Whatever you do, don't forget to feel the emotions -- if you're not, it's
difficult for the audience to feel what you're feeling and relate to you.
And have fun. You are setting a lofty goal which is SO AWESOME but don't
get discouraged if you don't get there. Most don't, but that doesn't make
them bad musicians. Its a combination of luck, talent, money, and most
importantly, who you know.
Check out Balanced Breakfast, which is a music meetup with locations in SF
and Oakland. Also, go to lots of shows of musicians you enjoy and meet up
with them afterwards to ask them how they're doing it. Rock on!

IMO, the best way to "get into" music is just to learn music from people
you like and then your own stuff will take shape after you get fluent with
the patterns that inspire you based on the work you have learned. I find
"getting into" music as a purely emotionless theoretical excursive to be a
non-starter.
In piano, for example, you'll find lots of cats doing cool videos on how
some of these chord thickening patterns work, and a lot of it is sort of
beyond theory and a little bit more about patterns and frameworks that they
have developed, but that insight has come from many hours of learning other
peoples work and then developing patterns of there own via improv.

I've found that music comes from my emotional / feelings side of the brain,
and not from the technical side I'm so used to using. It's very strange and
unfamiliar, so I must master this art as well.
As for fractals, I don't think they have any frequency dependence, to be
honest. They're something that forms because of conduction, which would be
largely unaffected by frequency in this case as wood is too insulating for
the skin effect to occur, and the electrodes are too small for capacitance
to matter.

If you are looking to make electronic music start here:
https://producerdj.com/product/ill-methodology-workshop/
If you want to get serious and you have some money (want to invest in it
because you want to make music your career) check out the courses on
dubspot.com
There are also a ton of good stuff on YouTube (and a bunch of crap). Focus
on stuff from people who are actually making music professionally.
And most importantly, make music, every day. Try not to spend more than 5 -
10 hours on a track and then move on to a new one.
If you want to make it to the top 10, you might want or find people who
have done that before or worked with those people and show them that you
are dedicated and passionate. Maybe they will let you sit in the studio or
let you remix something.
Start a soundcloud now if you don't have one already.

Ableton Live is an industry standard now, if you are doing music
professionally you should have a copy of that. But, you can make good music
with anything. I have a friend that makes pretty great stuff using only a
Nintendo DS.

If you are looking to make electronic music start
here:
https://producerdj.com/product/ill-methodology-workshop/
If you want to get serious and you have some money (want to invest in it
because you want to make music your career) check out the courses on
dubspot.com
There are also a ton of good stuff on YouTube (and a bunch of crap).
Focus on stuff from people who are actually making music professionally.
And most importantly, make music, every day. Try not to spend more than
5 - 10 hours on a track and then move on to a new one.
If you want to make it to the top 10, you might want or find people who
have done that before or worked with those people and show them that you
are dedicated and passionate. Maybe they will let you sit in the studio or
let you remix something.
Start a soundcloud now if you don't have one already.

I'm looking at Bitwig as an alternative. Industry standards change…though
not soon enough, imo.
