Flipspark is now free. The full printed deck, 96 cards with a worked example on every back, plus a daily widget. One optional unlock adds Inspire and your own prompts.
You fire up the studio. Blank project, no idea where to start, and an overwhelming number of options in front of you. Or you're mid session and you've hit a wall.
Flipspark is a deck of creative prompt cards for music producers. Draw and combine cards to find unexpected combinations of your own gear and techniques. There are no rules, only constraints that point you somewhere new.
INSPIRATION
Shuffle all four suits for a full track brief in seconds. Element, Instrument, Pattern, Effects. Nearly 50,000 combinations, most of them ones you would never have reached for on your own.
EDUCATION
Tap any card to flip it over. On the back is a worked example: how to actually pull the idea off, what to listen for, and what to do when it isn't sitting right. You pick up technique while you're getting unstuck.
GAMIFICATION
Reroll any single card until the combination clicks. Draw one suit when you only need one idea. Take the daily card off your home screen widget as the day's challenge. Got a buddy in the studio? Take turns drawing, put a time limit on it, and see who does something better with what they're dealt.
THE SUITS
Element: the fundamental parts of a track
Instrument: the sound source
Pattern: an approach to the melody or beat
Effects: ideas for shaping and mixing the sound
