Day 2: Things are getting more difficult

I started this project believing that making chiptune music would be a breeze, but problems are starting to show up. Cameron and I decided to scrap our first song idea, or at least put it to the side for now. I'd say the hardest part about making a tune is the beginning. That's where you really have to think about what sort of piece you want to write. It's not an easy process, and there were many moments where I just wanted to scrap everything. We decided on a piece that's a bit faster and more intense, though our ideas were changing very often. It was difficult to decide whether to begin by writing the bass line, or the chords, or the drum line. All of them seemed like good starts, but they all felt like they were leading to dead ends. We still don't have very much done, but I feel that things will get much easier as we have more google days. I'm left wondering how composers come up with the inspiration to write enough music to fill a CD. No wonder it can take an entire year year for some artists. I still definitely thing we can achieve this goal, but it's going to take some more effort than I thought.
