i was wondering.. i read an interview some time ago and there was that dude i can't remember the name who said that he conceptualizes the work of an album before making music. are you doing the same and if so - how? i remember i did conceptualize some of the things i did and it was great because i did finish them but now i just fuck around with sound until i am entertained. i can't focus on something but my own mood. and that makes things always change, and never ends. |

Conceptualizing things is fun and interesting, but if you're doing that instead of being into the music itself, you won't be good at what you're doing, or at least be happy with it. I think there's gotta be a link that connects something from you to your music that ties in with whatever concept you wanna have surround it. |

a link you say.. could you explain how do you conceptualize making it a funny and interesting thing to do.. methodically? i used to imagine a certain situation and translate it in music but i can't restrict my experiences anymore and say 'i want to make a track about that thing i saw'. it's more a flow that i get from experiences in general, not the static picture of a day. |

a link, meaning something you hold to yourself that you can only feel, that can be hard to explain with words or gesturess, something you feel will last more than a split second in thought, something you can look back on and say, i remember that period in time because of that feeling i had. That's the link, the feeling for it. I think you have to tap into life beyond this day to day reality. You have to i guess fall in love with something. You have to be able to stare into the sky and truthfully ask yourself, am i sending a message? Am i reaching anyplace further in myself than i have yet gone? You have to expand your mind at all costs, see what you find. If you don't find anything, it's ok, it's just the way it went. |

Also don't be afraid to go beyond yourself. Get away from what you think to be your way of doing something. Record some wierd stuff into your computer or something. Dont just use things off of a computer. Get sounds from anywhere. Use outside instruments, hardware, something you've had for a while that comforts you when you're near it, an old T.V., something that gives off it's own vibe for you to interpret. Too many people trying to make "their own sound, style, way of doing things" In the end, it either sounds god or it doesn't. |

You have to i guess fall in love with something. doh, exactly what i suspected. i've been falling in love so many times with so many things that you couldn't imagine but lately i became a bit more balanced with real life n stuff.. perhaps that's killing the spirit you talk about. i'll try that way, thanks for your posts. |

i know what you mean about real life/balance. just let it come to you, it will, be open to whatever it is. |

both approaches are valid innit? sometimes it helps to have an idea or concept ahead of time, and more or less follow it. other times you get more interesting results letting the machine and chance collaborate with you just using different processing & fx. it seems like part of refinement is finding the right balance, and figuring out how to use all your approaches together, hopefully making the music the most balanced and also most dynamic. |
