  1. BUMP

    PLEASE READ, HELP APPRECIATED

    now that i'm done with school (and not taking summer courses) i'm gonna get started on this thing. I really like the airport idea that abadoss came up with.

    like i said in an earlier post, i think that the plot will be about a group of people on their way to somewhere and something that is going to change their life. for example, one guy is interviewing for a big new job, someone else is about to be married, another on the way to his/her father's funeral, someone else just starting college. things like that. all the time stuck in the airport will give them time to think about their lives and share with each other whats going on. Maybe they decide their life isnt going the way they want it to. maybe they overcome their fears about what they're about to do. whatevs.

    any ideas for plot, characters or topics for musical numbers will be very helpfull. i'm seriously considering writing this as a rap opera (hip-hopera if you will) with rock, jazz, and funk mixed in as well. please no dumb jokes about how the characters should "walk it out" or "bust a cap" or do/say anything stereotypical of bad hip-hop music. i want this to be serious. thanks ahead of time

  2. dude just keeping on practicing on eventually you'll be able to play nearly anything by ear in a matter of moments. when you figure out the first note you can then figure the chord and then the progression which makes the rest of it easy, all of this subconsciously of course. the first song i learned was tetris and then level 4 from super double dragon i think.

  3. - get a cow on the second floor of the school (you cant get cows to go downstairs)

    - fish in the vents

    - porn on the announcments

    last year someone here showed a pic of there brother's prank. they got a couple dozen tires and stacked them up the flag poles and spay painted their year on it. it was pretty boss. no clue how they did it

  4. not going with piano as my principal instrument eventhough i was accepted by the piano professor. would've be harder than clarinet, but would've been much more worth it, being that i'm a composer. also, never practicing my instrument prior to college....now i suck and suck at practicing

  5. A thought that's been running through my head is an opera about being stuck at an airport (i.e. all flights cancelled due to bad weather). It lends itself well to character development, but plot is a little difficult. Might be an acceptable challenge. Just a thought...

    thats actually a good idea. maybe the main character is on his way to do something life changing like interview for a big new job or get married but he's not too sure its what he really wants. all that time stuck in the airport would give him time to think about what he wants to do with his life. maybe all the main characters have something like that happening with them. not a bad idea at all.

  6. Kanthos - I just want a general idea, i'll fill in the story and write all the songs on lyrics. and i'm not trying to make it to broadway right now :-) so dont worry about my expirience or anything. i just have a lot of musical ideas and i want a way to put them down.

    Katsurugi - i'm not really worried about making a "typical broadway musical". and i dont think that a love story is a neccessity. Count of Monte Cristo sounds cool but would take a WHOLE lot of work. its very complex and has a huge amount of charecters.

    more ideas please! anyone! i really need something creative to work on outside of the compositions that i do for school. and please no dumb ideas or jokes, i dont even know why i bother asking that :-(

  7. can you guys give me some ideas for a musical that i'm going to write? i have a lot of musical ideas but i need a story to go with them. can i please get some serious ideas not stupid ideas or jokes? i'm hoping to do musical theater after school so this will really help. something interesting and clever please! thanks ahead of time.
