Holy shit... I have actually gotten to a point right now that I can't think. Like it actually hurts to think in any creative way. Right now everytime I try to "create" some new thought its like this little guy in my brain that runs around into different rooms keeps running into this same door and I get nothing. UGH... I think I need some sleep... Or at least some tylonol... heh...
Anyways... My last thought I had before all the doors were naild shut was a way of composing music... Well at least for me. I have no problem mixing MIDI and sound bytes or even mastering sound bytes... but I've always had a problem with the actual composing of a melody. I always get to a certain point and and come to a hault. I can always listen and add to... but once I'm to that point I can't visualize what's next. And after listening to the mix over and over it just continues to sound the same... bland... no pizazz... Now what I've done in the past is take a break for a month or so and come back to it... but then I have a tendency to delete files, forget anything of what I was trying to accomplish, or simply be in the wrong state of mind and delete the files. But I think I've possibly come up with a meathod to solve this. I need a story line to go by. Just as if someone were to make a movie... they're not just gonna make it from the seat of their pants... they are going to at least have a story line set up... So maybe if I write some short stories, then take key points and place them in a timeline (drawn images would be very helpful), then I would use those as keys for sound cues. I think my main problem is I get started on one thought then start warping into another... or start working on another... thus creating ANOTHER unfinished project. But if I have an exact "plan" or execution pattern to follow it could possibly keep me on track. So when ever I can think again I will give this a shot. I'm mainly typing this in here so that I won't loose this thought and won't forget it.
Ok... well it's 7:20 now, I haven't slept... but it looks like ths surf's up... well kinda anyways... so I think I might go try to clear my head with a wave or 2.
