Spark Draw | Idea cards for songwriting
What is Spark Draw?
Spark Draw is a card tool for when your song stalls. Draw one card and try it. The 100 short cards cover two moments: when you have no ideas, and when your arrangement feels flat.
A card is a hint, not an order. If it doesn't fit, just draw again. It works whether you produce alone at home or bring songs to a band.
How to use it
- Press "Draw a card" (or hit the Space key).
- Try the card on your current song, just once.
- Star the cards you like to save them as favorites. Your history is kept too.
Card types
- Idea: for when the first note or line won't come. Starting points for chords, melody, and lyrics.
- Arrange: for when a loop has gone flat. Rethink the structure and what you add or remove.
Your history and favorites are saved only in your own browser. Nothing is sent to a server. It's free, and no sign-up is needed.
