so that's what i'm going to do!
i'll pick it up again as soon as i feel inspired.
EDIT: fuck, i have to work tomorrow. i'll take a break after that. |
Well, dude, sometimes it is just a matter of taking some time off from it. Also, I find that you have to mentally "work" to do something genuinely different. When you develop your technique, you build yourself into a box and you'll default to it... constantly! When I write, I section together the compositions piece-by piece, re-"zeroing" myself at every step to
not just play the generic, expectant crap I've learned over the years. Dunno if that helps... probably not.
