Blob Opera is a fun and easy way to make music with your friends. Follow these simple steps and you’ll be making beautiful music in no time!

Introduction

There are few things as satisfying as making music with your own two hands. And with a little imagination, you can make music with just about anything — even blobs of color!

With Blob Opera, you can create your own symphony using nothing but a few simple tools and your own two hands. With this step-by-step guide, you’ll be making beautiful music in no time.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

– A computer or tablet with an internet connection
– A printer
– Scissors
– Tape or glue
– A few drops of food coloring (optional)

Now let’s get started!

What is Blob Opera?

Blob Opera is a type of music composition that uses only blob noises. It was invented by German composer and musician Hans-Joachim Roedelius in the late 1970s.

Blob Opera can be performed on any instrument that can make blob noises, but is typically played on electronic instruments such as synthesizers or computers. The performer controls the timing and pitch of the blob noises to create melodies and rhythms.

Blob Opera pieces are typically short, lasting only a few minutes. They often have a playful, childlike quality to them.

How to make music with Blob Opera

Blob Opera is a free music making app that is a lot of fun to use. You can create your own songs by layering different sounds on top of each other. You can also share your songs with others and listen to what they create. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Choose your blob

Now that you have your Blob Opera, it’s time to choose your blob! You can either use the default blob or create your own. To create your own, simply click on the “Create a Blob” button. This will open the Blob Creator, where you can customize your blob’s size, color, and more.

Once you’re happy with your blob, you can name it and then add it to your opera. To do this, just click on the “Add to Opera” button.

Now that you have your blob, it’s time to choose its musical instrument! You can either use the default instrument or choose from a wide variety of options in the Instrument Browser. To open the Instrument Browser, just click on the “Instrument Browser” button.

Once you’ve found an instrument you like, simply click on the “Add to Opera” button.

Step 2: Give your blob a voice

Now that you have your blob, it’s time to give it a voice. Blob Opera uses your computer’s microphone to record sounds, so you’ll need to be in a quiet place where you can be close to your computer.

If you want to use an instrument other than your voice, you can try making sounds with your mouth (blowing into the microphone works well), or using a household object like a cardboard box or a pot. Once you’ve recorded some sounds, move on to step 3 to start making music!

Step 3: Layer your sounds

Now that you have your time signature and tempo, it’s time to start layering in some sounds. You can use the same techniques as in step 2 to create your own unique Blob Opera sound. Remember to be creative and have fun!

1. Choose yourObligato. This will be the lead melody for your composition.
2. Choose your fabric sounds. These will be the chords that accompany your melody.
3. Layer in your percussion. This can be anything from clapping to stamping to drumming on a table.
4. Add in any other sounds you like! This could be anything from singing to speaking to laughs and applause.

Step 4: Export your song

Now that you have created your song, it’s time to export it so you can share it with the world!

To export your song, click on the ‘Export’ button in the upper right corner of the screen. This will bring up a menu with two options: ‘MP3’ and ‘WAV’. Choose the format you would like to export your song in, and then click ‘Export’.

Your browser will then start downloading the file. Once the download is complete, you can share your file with anyone you’d like!
