choosing sounds or instruments that go well together

[frankiez]

Hey Dennis,

One of my issues is trying to pick two or three musical sounds that go well together and compliment each other. I can usually start off with one nice instrument like a rhodes piano but I guess I'm not not sure what other musical elements would be good to add and why.

Do you have any advice on this?

Thanks,

Frank

in b4 ferrer, but I found that reading the liner notes for albums I liked and finding out what instruments were used to create the songs gave me a great start with figuring out what instruments sounded well together.

putting sounds that go together turns out to be a hit or miss affair. It takes a few years to begin to figure out the standards let's say in soulful house. Electronic/tech house and stuff like that takes that standard and throws that theory out the window. I kind of always like contrasting sounds....if i have a nice dark sound then i'm always looking for a edgier sound to come in and take the song up to another level. Think of putting sounds together like a well constructed collage that's all i can really say. It's all an experimental and taste kinda thing.
