Creative Kicks: How electronic music producers can develop a unique sound, and work more creatively.

by Ever Light

Aimed at aspiring electronic music producers looking to kick-start their stand-out signature sound, this practical guide combines an effective understanding of what gives a producer their “sound” with advice on how our creative minds work, putting you on your own path of discovery. Written by an author with 15 years education and professional creative experience across electronic music production, music production tuition, graphic design, videography and more. - Explore and break-down what gives a producer their “sound”, discuss the pitfalls producers fall into which prevent them from fully realising their creative potential, and discover why it’s so difficult to get advice on this subject. - Discover how our own journey and enjoyment of our work in the studio contributes to the development of our sound, and look into the frame of mind of a creative person, exploring the thought processes of someone who is operating at peak creativity. - Discuss maximising your truly productive time in the studio - which I refer to as “flow” - by identifying and eliminating friction, gaining a better understanding of how your creative mind works, understanding your tools better, and giving ourselves space in which to work. - Find specific and applicable practical creative advice relating to each part of the music creation process; idea snippets intended to inspire and guide you.
