non-technical ingredients for a good track

[Evil G]

i'm thinking:

atmosphere, energy, direction and groove.

discuss.

solid idea of who you are.

and atmosphere can't be underrated. make the room reflect you, not "techno".

[TechMouse]

Originality / Innovation.

Not essential, but they make stuff stand out.

i always find i make my best tracks after a big teknival or after a few days of caning it as hearing music on a big rig inspres me so much
(think its prbably all those sub frequencies goin on)

A king size dose of your personality cloned into a sequence of sounds

[Barely Human]

On with the atmosphere again -

I like to make stuff which describes something musically. Most people tend to decribe an emotion through their music, i try to portray a story, or a scene, so you can mentally build a picture of a place through my tracks. Mind you, ive probably not done that good a job at it :lol:

But yeah, atmosphere is very important...

Divine Inspiration.
Something from the heart.
Something from the mind.
Something from the gut.
Serendipity.

Martin must have landed a job or is trying to right now. Have to take a pee test I take it homie??? :lol:

Although I do agree with Lau, a couple of joints, some liqour of preferance, and then just let things happen.

Plus going thru tramatic life events can help out as well. Just use the music as an outlet to get rid of your frustrations of sadness. Then your tune will reflect your feelings at that time. If possible try to tell a story with it as Q suggested.
