How to create original music 🎶

Oddly enough, one of the ways to achieve originality is to follow the traditions of the folk 👨‍👨‍👧‍👧to which you consider yourself. In the context of globalization and universal integration of nationalities folklore that has been formed for thousands of years becomes useless to anyone. The diversity of cultures🕌cannot divide people, it only arouses mutual interest and promotes rapprochement.

Even a small nations have their own musical instruments, which reflect the specifics of the geographical location, local flora and fauna. All this is a material for making interesting wind🎺, string🪕, percussion🥁and other instruments.

Melodic moves and arrangements of folk songs express the deep problems of these people. It can be associated with historical fate, with the mood caused by the weather ⛈and other unique natural conditions. Every person will be closer to the creativity of the people with which he lives, which he is a part and whose fate he shares.

Paradoxically, this is a direct path to world culture. History knows no few examples when a small nation with a small territory developing their own culture, national tradition, singing their identity, emphasizing their mentality, reached the level of eternal universal values and problems.

Thus, I think that the creators of all types of art need to go back to their roots in order to resist the general current stalling.

Why classical musicians are so cool?

Because of some standard length of a piece of music which was many times longer than current standards, ranging from an hour to sometimes 3-4 hours⌛️, they had to write variations on the main theme. In the work, as a rule, there're several main themes that are connected by variations like threads🧶. This means that the main themes must be predisposed to development, have the potential to create variations and be initially deep and significant.

At the present time, in the conditions of standards that set a short duration of the composition the main theme can be anything because there's no need to develop it, there's no time and place for this. That's why the main theme doesn't have to be good, doesn't have to be bright🔆and meaningful.

All that remains in the song in this way is a bad and empty main theme that does not have the potential for further development and variations.

In addition, most musical forms implied a rich arrangement, polyphony, several melodic🎶lines, filling, and balance of frequency. To do this, the basis must also be non-trivial.

The source of the arrangement is also the main theme, which determines the side, supporting, and auxiliary parts. By arranging you can highlight the necessary places in the main theme. By setting certain relationships you can partially change the perception of certain elements of the basis. But it must be predisposed to it.

The creative👨‍🎨process can be non-linear, I mean that not side parties develop from the base, but the base is formed from different sides, honed, saturated with content and potential. In the course of the creative process, variations and arrangements are linking to the main theme.

Current musical creativity is often limited to a single melodic line and a standard, non-original background. To do this the main topic doesn't have to be interesting🧐 , there're no necessary conditions for this. This is why the art of music is in crisis. It doesn't face large and complex tasks.

Mastery in music and art

Mastery is degree of possession of a craft that allows you not to think about the technical side and completely devote yourself to self-expression at a high level. It's achieved by dedication, relentless development and patience.

Now skill isn't held in high esteem, because it requires effort and long practice which is available only to a few. It's easier to change the General paradigm in which only basic skills are enough to enter a competitive environment.

Even more, within the arts there are separate directions based on skill and directions where (pseudo-) thought is important. Today's society is characterized by adolescent radicalism which has created a situation of contrasting skill and the presence of thoughtful content. It's assumed that masterly possession of the craft excludes the creative and mental component.

With the skill, subtlety has gone. It can't be important in the continuous giant flow of created works. Today, what matters is what is on the surface what you can see at first glance.

Patience isn't enough, everyone wants everything at once, here and now. There’s proverb that Russians take a long time to harness, but they go fast. Therefore, Russia should become a country of revival of the European tradition.

Today, the skill must become one of the most important goal for the creators. This won’t only increase the level but also reduce the influence of the great predecessors. Only then will it be possible to break out of the series of imitations and self-repetitions and create a new art, a new culture.
