    I like to do this in the reverse order, where I intentionally copy something and keep changing it until it's transformed into a completely new thing. My best source of inspiration is mis-remembered melodies, where I go back and realize I didn't remember a tune right, and the one in my head is something I can (mostly) claim.

      Some melodies I have written just so happen to be concurrent with something I've never heard before, regardless of genre. I.E. a tune whose main melody somehow matched up with Primadonna by Marina And The Diamonds. But all that gave me was a new song to listen to. I also sometimes intentionally borrow a few phrases here and there but I will readily admit that "Yes that's part of the Inspector Gadget theme and I'm not ashamed."

      True. But sometimes you just hear something, it reminds you of something you liked before and it gets annoying that it doesn't continue the way you know it. I've heard tons of tunes like that.. and it's really unfortunate, because it could be a great piece of music but I can't stop relating it to something else (I might be similar to that Brad guy in the video).
      For example, check out the choruses of the two songs - "Gotthard - Heaven" and "Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply".. well that's a total rip-off imo, but it gets the point across.

    Dear Mr. Michelmore,
    I just absolutely adore the New Adventures of Lassie. It is such an amazing series that always kept me longing for more episodes. I really love the style of season one, it is absolutely perfect and I love it so much. I love the character development of Zoe and Harvey, and how Lassie always, no matter what, comes to the rescue. You did such an amazing job on this series. However, a new composer came. Season 2 of the New Adventures of Lassie! I was just so excited to see Lassie’s adventures continue! I loved season one just so much, it was my favourite thing in the world. So I excitedly watched the first episode of season 2. Then I notice - it’s a different story and animating style. The characters are not hand-drawn anymore - my favourite art style has gone! I would really love it much more if they just continued season 1. It could be just the adventures continuing, and maybe at the end, there is a massive, final adventure that pushes Lassie’s abilities to the limit.
    Thank you so much for reading this,
    Elyse

    It seems to me that you have to constantly imagine what kind of picture you want to create. Music is somehow magically linked to imagination. I think the problem of copyright exists among those who went to a music school in childhood. I didn’t go, I don’t have a musical education. This problem does not bother me. But I loved to read books, watched many films in childhood. Perhaps you should go to the cinema, read books, visit galleries, theaters, walk and then that "picture" that you want to portray with the help of music will pop up in your head. And it won't seem like copyright.
    P.S. True, many musicians in my country do not care about the copyright problem either, although their songs are explicitly copyrighted. But I believe that there is no copyright in my songs.

  • @iansimpson27
    @iansimpson27 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    This issue has often made me reticent about composing music myself, so thanks for the tips! I think it's unfortunate and concerning, though, that increasingly the overzealous use of financial music copyrights is making it risky to be significantly influenced by other composers' works. As well as potentially stifling creativity, especially among composers with less power, it could also make plagiarism more rife, not less. Why? Because composers who are influenced by other composers may be more afraid to openly acknowledge their influences, out of fear that it could get them into big trouble in court, and so there may be more of a temptation to pinch ideas from other composers and then pretend that they're completely original.
    I think John Williams's Star Wars is an excellent example of "being influenced done well", as I can spot many similarities between Star Wars and the temp track (there are also obvious homages to Holst's "Mars, the Bringer of War" and Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring" as well as Korngold's "Kings Row"), but to me, all of it has been modified and adapted sufficiently to take it in his own direction and make it his own, and of course there's plenty of other music in Star Wars that isn't obviously influenced by anything. I reckon that the combination of familiar influences and originality probably helped to make the music for Star Wars so popular and so accessible to the general public.
    But even morally speaking there can be a fine line with this. I find Hans Zimmer's "Gladiator" close to the line with its homages to "Mars", as while I think it's mostly done well, there is one track ("Barbarian Horde") which, to me, sounds uncomfortably close to being a copy-paste of sections of the original. So there is some need for caution, but I fear that we're heading into an era where people have to be overly cautious, at the expense of creativity and quality of music.

I said “Sweet we’re playing Ramones” and she said, “I wrote this song” I’m not sure if that really sunk in because I said, “I’ll just look up the tab.” When I started jamming with the rest of the band I realized it was really her song.

    Andrew LLoyd Webber was once asked if he plagarized anything - always being accused of it. His response was (and I paraphrase) "there are after all, only so many keys on a piano and everything you've ever heard, listened to, liked or absorbed will influence what you write". The hard part is to not consciously use something you've heard before. As hard as it is, it IS possible to be unique but somewhere along the line a melody you will write may "quote" something else.... NOT that you're trying to - it just happens because it's all part of what you've absorbed and it resides in your brain. The biggest trick is to know how to NOT do that or learn to "trick" the brain. Therein is musical uniqueness....HOWEVER NOTHING anyone writes is unique. Somewhere along the time/space continuum, there is nothing new, it's ALL been done before somewhere, somehow. I mean musical use has been around for a very loooong time. It's very hard to prevent no matter how hard one might try. Even RANDOM melody generators will eventually hit upon something that is the same as something that's already been done.....as you said. HOW to get around that? Very hard to define ever. The ONLY thing one could ever do (and this is hard for those with careers that depend upon making music) is to never make any money on your music, never publish it, keep the things you write totally free and uncopyrighted.....as IF that would ever happen when your income depends upon it right? Tough question and concept to crack if one ever even can. I LIKE the suggestion to use someone else to listen with an unbiased ear. VERY good thought. THAT's likely the only way scientifically or logically, to accomplish. BUT it's still NOT 100% and all it takes is one low life lawyer willing to make life difficult on principle alone. Sigh. What ARE ya gonna do? I recall some classical composer(s) who were accused of writing someone else's music - only BACKWARDS or UPSIDE DOWN and using it that way. That's crafty - but still plagarizing. Again what ARE we to do? STIL NEVER 100% ever ever ever!! Tough to be unique and totally apart from copying somewhere along the line.

      @@0AndrewBolt0 Hey Andrew - Yes you're right. And Lloyd Webber said so in the interview I watched years ago although he wouldn't say WHAT he had "borrowed". And to reiterate, he "quoted" a phrase perhaps - didn't TOTALLY lift it from Puccini but he DID say he did snag one melody - so I guess that was it. But this stuff lives in our heads forever and even though you might put something down, thinking that it's yours completely when it strikes the right feeling in your music, it's ALL been done somewhere, sometime before. There literally IS NOTHING new. I used to amuse myself by finding familiar tunes in "other" music, constantly thinking they lifted a melody or a phrase from somewhere else. It was part amusement, part annoyance because it kept me from simply enjoying what I was hearing... not because I care they did it, but rather because I couldn't get it then, out of my head that it was totally a borrowed tune or an inadvertent musical duplication. It truly IS a tough nut to crack to find melodies or chord progressions that have NOT been done before. The trick is as I see it, to find something that is far, far less familiar or obscured or something in public domain IF you're even going to borrow - which you should not at all. But this brain doesn't work that way - it's an amalgam of everything I've EVER heard that I like. Tough, tough thing to have to work around always.

    Hello Guy! Love your videos. I am a longtime amateur composer. I wish they’d have been around 30 years ago. But still, I have learned a lot about the art. And aside from the educational aspect, you are a pleasure to watch. This video reminds me of the genesis of the Beatles’ Yesterday and how Paul dreamt the melody, and was sure it wasn’t original. He played it for everybody he knew and nobody seemed to have ever heard it before. So he claimed it for himself.

Friday night, mentally tired just want eat my comfort foods ,see my comfort visuals and hear my comfort sounds. The consumers of all things are the same and we as writers want to be part of the group so a lot of the time we don't take risk because the audience we have doesn't want to eat chilly prawn ice cream with a garlic cone or expand their musically palette to the unfamiliar tones that won't allow the right dopamine to wash over them. This era has creatives unable to expand and evolve due to simple survival, familiar pays, so we're not straying too far from the corporate nipple that feeds us. Thanks Guy for another great video.

    Hey Guy, I recently just found your videos and your energy and enthusiasm rekindled the flame inside me to try songwriting and compose again :D If alright can I give a video suggestion to maybe talk about how to add chords to a melody? Or maybe how we can go about "learning" chords? Is it something that we take the time out of the day to memorize?
    I think I am pretty good at coming up with melodies but then it just gets stuck from there. I can hear it as a complete piece in my head but I think I just don't have the technical skill to make it out yet and it is very frustrating sometimes.
    That being said I appreciate you so much for making these videos and I can't believe I can watch these for free! You are such an inspiration and great teacher I thank you so much!

    I do get paranoid about this sometimes, but I try not to worry about it too much because it just hinders my creative mindset so much... All music is inspired by already existing music, and it's pretty much all been done before by someone else somewhere else anyway. My attitude is that as long as you're not trying to directly copy someone else's work and claim it as your own you're fine... but then again I just create music for my own enjoyment and I'm not trying to sell my music anyway...

    Well Guy, I appreciate you did your best to give a solution to this problem and you are relatively lucky to have a person that can check for you (actually do just his best in this, as I suppose he is not infallible) that your motif is unique (perhaps). You see, this subject is soooo important and scary enough (to the point that could take someone completely away to even consider to create music and therefore take a course in music creation) that should be the first thing to be discussed and TRULY AND RELIABLY solved. I see instead that you discussed about this for the first time ONLY on the 30 July 2021 and after MANY user requests. Said that my questions are: 1) How do we find an alternative person that can check if a motif is unique, do they have a professional title? 2) Don't you think that to seriously discuss this subject a better idea would be to arrange an interview with a copyright official and get tips and recommendations from him? 3) Is there a web service or a consultancy service that can check and clear your track against copyright strikes? 4) What happen if accidentally you infringe, do they warn you first or they sue you straight away? You see, I think it is nice to create and produce/publish music at least as much as to have a good night sleep! Looking forward for your answer and in particular for a better and more reliable solution. Thank you.

    Last night, I came up with what stood out to me as a good intro for a song on guitar (even now, pretty sure it's my own work!) ... I recorded it as a scratch track so I wouldn't forget it, then laid down some drums, bass and piano very roughly around it and after it (not even using a click track) just to get the ideas down for where I saw this going, with the intention of doing the job properly today... This morning, I sat down and realised that with the exception of the original idea, I had written a version of "November Rain" by Guns n Roses! 🙄🙁 ... I spent today trying everything to move away from it, while still keeping the original idea, and it is seriously hard work!! ... What you said about there "only being so many solutions to the problem" resonates completely with me, because the only chords that worked when following my idea took me straight back to an angry Axl Rose! Hahaha ... I got there eventually, but this video was appreciated as an insight into what the hell had happened!! Thank you. 😊

  • @stxejn
    @stxejn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Running your music track through Google or Soundhound as you make it is a great idea. It can help save a lot of time. I know there was a lawsuit once with the Beatles I believe and the judge ultimately said "If the note progression is the same 12 notes or more, it infringes copyright."
    While I think protecting your copyright is important, it is also important to understand that other people might have similar ideas. Doesn't mean they're wrong for it, it just makes that creative pool more explored. Its like fishing in a pond, someone may have 3 fishing rods with 3 hooks to catch 3 fish, someone else may have 1 fishing rod with 3 hooks on 1 line, both catch 3 fish but they achieved it by different means.
    Additionally, it doesn't always apply but looks for ways to destroy or derange your tune in ways that are different but make sense, through the means of effects, especially ones that randomize waveform patterns. Also AVOID USING PRESETS. Presets are there for inspiration only in my opinion. If you think about it, any preset you use is infringement because someone else wrote it to be used within the program, so the idea of using that sound is already out there, and dozens of people most likely have.

    So much this! As well as "mere exposure" I'd say that "anchoring" is another cognitive bias that we suffer from which constrains our thinking and the logic that we use to write music. Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow" is a great read about this (he won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work in the field and it's a fascinating book!) And when it comes to convergent evolution, the thinking in 2017 was that the eye has evolved *at least* forty times!

    The problem is that you can basically get samples royalty free on splice, Acapella, and loops, whereas others use the same samples, and your song ends up with the same acapella or the same loop. There was a big debate about it because what people do is, they go get the sample from splice or other platforms, create a song, and then copyright it. It's a free sample, or a paid sample but royalty free for commercial use. That's not fair id say. so we create the song and later find out someone else has used that before

    This is a great topic to explore, and for what little it is worth, my view is that you get on and learn and create, and don’t worry about it. If you actually made a big enough splash with something, and actually made money with it, then someone might emerge from a legal angle and ask for a portion of revenue. But, if that were the case, then two things apply: a - if you’d made it not so similar, it might not have been so successful; and b - it’s almost impossible to make an IDENTICAL song/tune, unless you set out to do so. So, no worries unless it is surprisingly successful, in which case you are still winning, just not by as much. I don’t set out with it as a goal, to copy other people’s music, but of course, if some film producer approaches a person and says ‘can you do something in the style of Hans Zimmer?’ you are one small step in the direction of being similar right from the off. Hence, I suppose pop music is the classic ‘copycat’ because if a certain genre takes off, every bu&&er copies it in order to be ‘on trend’. Next they find out what the samples are the inspiring song used, match the rhythm, and BPM, and then it’s more than halfway to a major overlap of course! But, the same statement I made earlier applies: if it is successful, then the formula worked, you are still winning even with a revenue share. The other obvious issue with any attempt to cash in on your song saying it ‘sounds like’ theirs, is the litigant probably falls into the self-same trap! Just find a similar song, done earlier than their own, and you have their ‘inspiration’ exposed too, which they won’t want. Yes, so I have almost no worries!

      In my band, we have made our songs unique by not really following the rules. In one song we use overdriven guitars that are playing dissonant chords during the verse, such as Em7(#11), but still, we make the harmony make sense in a way, by making it lead somewhere. Also, we have a pre-chorus where the instruments play power chords, which gives a sense of clarity before the chorus. At one point we mixed in a bar of 5/4. We kinda try to think outside the box.
      One acoustic riff we wrote, but haven't made a song out of yet, uses the chord progression I-bIII-IV-I-bVI-bVII-I. That's all major chords. So we try to make our songs harmonically unique, and then we adjust our melodies according to the chords. In this case you could say we use a chord progression in minor, but borrowed the I-chord and the IV-chord from major.
