The 1 thing that has helped me the most over the years of writing music is to put yourself and all your bullshit aside, go into it with the right mindset, set goals and try to accomplish somthing. Fucking about is fine as far as playing with sounds, creating patches ect. But you need to discipline yourself in order to make things happen.

The pieces i have been most happy with have come from somthing specific i am trying to convey. An idea or theme im trying to get across. Not just sitting down to see what happens(not that thats bad) I work best when i feel like i am communicating somthing with each note and sound, rather than fucking about.

Good luck to all.

"we have to go find the others" he said. he never looked straight at me. we walked in the grass, around the shack and down to the stream. for some reason, i had never walked down there before. we went into a concrete tunnel, dark but warm. part of a noise was leaking from the ceiling. now there was that musik again. he sat down and heard me do the same. 'finally we are no one" he said.
