AUDIO VISIONS - Mini Music Project Prompt
— Your 70s Alter Ego
Today’s challenge:
Create a beat or full song inspired by your 1970s alter ego.
Imagine your 1970s alter ego character walking into a disco club, roller rink, smoky bar, underground dance floor, or neon-lit house party somewhere in the 70s.
What does their soundtrack sound like?
Let’s build a track that captures that exact energy.
Step 1
Create your Alter Ego
Think about:
• Is your alter ego glamorous, rebellious, mysterious, chaotic, smooth, seductive, heartbroken, funky, dreamy, or unstoppable?
• What instruments follow them into the room?
• What tempo matches their walk?
• What colors would their music feel like?
Step 2
Write the soundtrack for your Alter Ego
Start a new project in logic or ableton
Set your bpm
Choose your style (disco, funk, rock n roll)
Add a kick
Add a snare
Add in a set of hi hats
Add a bass
Add a guitar
Optional:
Add an analog synthesizer
Optional:
Add a fuzz guitar
Add in a 70s inspired vocal
Alternatively
You could also choose to sample a 1970s track and just remix into a beat you’d hear today
Production Ideas to experiment with:
- Funk basslines
- Disco drums
- Vintage synths
- Soul samples
- Tape saturation
- Wah guitars
- Retro vocal chops
- Analog textures
- Vinyl crackle•
- Big dramatic reverbs
- Glittery synth pads
Vocal ideas
- Think vocals like Donna Summer, I feel love
- Think vocals like Stevie Nicks, Dreams
- Think vocals like Elton John, Tiny Dancer
- Think vocals like Le Freak, Chic
- Think vocals like ABBA, Dancing Queen
- Think vocals like Gloria Gaynor, I Will Survive
Your beat could sound like:
- a roller rink anthem
- a late-night city drive
- heartbreak on the dance floor
- a funky movie soundtrack
- a smoky underground disco set
Bonus:
Create cover art for the track
Or
Use the Ai Prompt in the comments with your Skool Profile picture to create an image of your alter ego (do this on a free Ai generator. ChatGPT is fine)
Need to learn Logic? We have a course for that!!
Intro to Logic classrooms:
Disclaimer:
This project is about atmosphere, groove, storytelling, and character.
It should not take more than 10 minutes in Ableton or Logic to create. However, if this inspires a deeper project, then we are absolutely here for it.
Don’t try to make this perfect. Just create and post.
Keep your momentum flowing.
Happy Writing
Nikki & Johnny
