rombsix -> Composing falsetas (Jul. 8 2009 11:31:36)

Hello everyone, I was just wondering: How do you all compose your falsetas? Let me tell you how I do it. Let's say I decide I want to compose a buleria falseta in E-flat. I play some compas in that key to get the feel, then I come up with an idea. I play it once or twice until I get it into memory. Then I start recording: I play some compas, then I play the idea I came up with. Then I count what I've recorded, and see what numbers it ends up on, and if it's too short, I lengthen it, and if it's too long, I shorten it so it fits a 12-beat cycle, then I re-record it with compas before and after it. If I can count the final product it to be in compas, then I'm usually satisfied, and that would be the end of it. Things I've heard: 1- You should compose while having a solo-compas record playing, and thus you will directly compose something in compas (or very close to being so). 2- If you get experienced enough, you will compose a falseta without any backing tracks, and it will immediately end up being in perfect compas. What do you all think about all of the above? Gracias! [:)]
