Prompt: Instant Replay #blisterpopsep23 Sep 2023 #2

https://youtu.be/dBtEF8OSrmI Here’s a prompt for anyone who comes across this. I release these at a rate of approximately twice a month but there is no pressure to complete these by a certain time. In fact, feel free to embellish or throw out any part of the concepts as I lay them out.

If you’d like me or others to be aware that you used this, use #blisterpopsep23 in your posts – Instagram, Soundcloud, YouTube at the very least should all pick them up.

Word prompt – I think I’ve been here before.

Musical Prompt – find a way to use repetition like you’ve never done before.

Prompt: Open For Business #blisterpopsep23 Sept 2023 #1

https://youtu.be/r2vfN_vzjZI #blisterpopsep23

Word prompt – think of emotional openness between two people – the pluses or minuses

Music prompt – Pick a guitar open tuning and note the notes & the spread between the octaves used. This is not meant just for guitarists.

For instance, you might have to do a little research if you are not one or just consider an open G tuning of D2-G2-D3-G3-B3-D4. Try to do something with just those 6 notes.
