Primarily, I could suggest a great many ways to get a creative kick:
- When time and resources allow, go somewhere different - out of town or even just to a different part of the city, take a notebook, take a camera or dictaphone, get the ideas that come out from this change of environment down.
- Read a bunch of books, watch a bunch of movies (which I trust you do more of than I do, anyway). Music is visual, music is about ideas. You're a conduit for those pictures and concepts, music is your language.
- Listen to some new music from old artists you love...
- Collaborate. Collaborate with a musician who does things different, a singer, a drummer, a guitarist.
- Agree to something with a deadline.
- Buy a new toy for making music. A keyboard, a kick ass computer, nice speakers, something. Something useful that you've really wanted for ages. Use it. Work it out.
