Name your tracks

Name your tracks
Posted on: 12.09.2012 by Alice Kanning
Hey guys,

Little interesting question here, how do you guys name your tracks?

Sometimes I immediately know how to name it, sometimes i start from a name, and sometimes it has something to do with the place i am at that moment .

Cheers,
Remco

The last track I named had something to do with my artist name. The rest of tracks usually I use only one word as most of them are instrumental y feel only one word will suit them. The words I choose depends of my mood that day, an ispiration or watever first word comes to my mind when I make the track.

I remember things by association, so I name tracks based on something I did recently to help me remember. "Laundry Day" being a recent example.

When I'm working on a track they tend to be named any old thing. Once I get closer to having something solid that's nearer completion then they get a proper title. I'd love to say that the name encapsulates the essence of the track in question but, if that were true, it would mostly be gibberish...

When I was younger I used to make up names for songs and albums that didn't exist. I still do sometimes. Aside from that, I like song titles that scan like the names of books.

I normally have the name of the track before I write a single note. When I'm getting ready to work on something new, generally I have some sort of idea for the inspiration for the song, and the name is just part of that. Sometimes the name IS the inspiration in fact.

You could do the Autechre trick, the Atari sequencer shortened longer file names to really cryptical 8 character names, hence they got the names for their tracks such as Rsdio, Vietrmx21, Recury and so on.

Normally I choose a word that describes a singularity in the track or dedicate it to someone, then translate it to a different language (ie: varme, wal, venko).
