so like ive been going on with music making almost everyday for 4 years.. however, as of late its been really dry. its not so much that i dunno how to make stuff, its more that i feel ive done most of what i want to do.. i dont really know what else i could make or what i want to improve in what ive already made.. that doesnt mean my already made music is perfect, it just means i dont find much inspiration in that type of music anymore. i made a lot of ambient you know and, right now i cant really listen to a drone or pad and feel much. i dont have the need to create any orchestral stuff either, nor idm as it were.. when i apply a reverb to some crazy swoosha thing, it feels overused, when i try to make slow piano stuff - well, dont even get me started. same with everything else.. i do get enjoyment out of my already favorite tracks like uviol and such, but i REALLY dont want to feel like i cant find inspiration to create more.. thing is also.. i dont like about 99% of the music i hear released professionally.. and very few tracks in general really make me go OMFG you know.. you cant just have this and that to create an effect anymore on me, it needs to be something amazing.. are my standards too high already for music i listen to? i have not really made a proper track in 4 weeks or so.. i have made a lot of stuff inbetween but nothing i would consider myself extremely proud of. i was also afraid to type this out in case of jinxing myself, but right now, i really feel i might be losing whatever i had that made me going for so long.. if you want to leave a challenge for me to do, please do so.. that way i can be more focused. god bless music. |

if this gives you inspiration, your track 'hive mind' for example is not just a music track, it's a beautifully mastered representation of an abstractly probing philosophical idea that overcame me with something beyond that which most tracks manage to achieve. it's immersing and cosmic, an inspiration in itself. i would be deeply saddened if you cut short your exploration into this area of art |

yes the benders always help. try travelling somewhere new and then going on a bender. change of scenery may help. |

I know exactly what you mean. Only it's like this with everything as well as music. I'm too young for this. I was thinking just before looking pon dis thread that i can't actually enjoy an image the way i used to. Show me a picture, go on. I bet i wont care. The cause of this problem is simple enough: over exposure to modern luxuries ect. But how do you undo this...do i really have to go on a soul searching journey across africa or something like that....boring....crap. I'm going to read! Yes read!!! But there's so many things i need to get on with and they are forever intertwined with head wrecking things like the internet. I blame the webs for my recent slump in visual and musical enjoyment. You have to hack through a jungle of uninteresting data and navigate through an endless maze of useless links, only to bump into another IDM that could be appreciated if i wasn't so impatient. F U C K. Music is.....dead? |

Erm...i just heard blips and flips (i think it was hivemind). Sorry cx. This is what i mean. I Imagine hearing your stuff before sound was constantly piped down my throat like cheeseburger slurry, i'd love the blips then. |

I suggest you really stop. Think hard on what you are or what you were before you made yourself this awful thing. You don't make music the way a human should, none of us do. I feel like that's why pulseclock threw a wobbly (coupled with other things). We are falling apart. See i was going to stop making music a few months back, you remeber when i got all silly a lil while ago, but i didn't. I've made some truly lovely music that feels closer to the stuff i want to make, but it's happening again. I make music too quickly and it ISN'T REALLY FUCKING ME. So you have to stop and take time to really consider the beginning and end of your life and define what that life will add up to. Then your music will be really you. So yeah like blah blah blah n stuff. PULSECLOCK IS DYING AND WE SHARE THE SAME HEART I KNOW IT! Yeah i don't get it either, i am going off on one sorry. |

ok i'm going to have to go now cos the sleeping tablets are kicking in have sweet dreams hopefully better than the most horrible nightmare of my life that i had last night which has been tormenting me all day! it's never nice watching one your loved ones die right in front of you whilst looking into their eyes and believing it as real. sure as hell makes you appreciate the fact they're still alive though! |

also try to stick to music that is truly essential for you, no matter if it's old, music that still make you feel something like 'i wanna dance' or 'i wanted to do that too' these days i too find quite difficult to hear something that blows me away. this was not the case crazyness -> just don't care |

You sound like a bunch of emotional cry baby teenagers. Kill yourself or get over it, as Black Box Recorder once said. |

I feel like such a thread killer. I hope you took the best of my mad rant CX. Life will be good for us all, we just need to get away from our satan machines (computers) and rebuild. Maybe i should speak for myself instead of for both of us...i...just wanted to....share my pain *tears and howling* |

everyone gets writers block or whatever and needs a break. get caught up on some movies you want to see, play some video games, go to the park, etc. you will have fresh ideas when you come back to it. also switching up your method might help. do a mix instead of an original or do something completely on hardware. |

This is easy: TAKE A BREAK! Felling burnt out is normal in any creative field. Stop doing what you do until you really feel like you want to do it again and you'll be fine! Honestly! (disclaimer: I read none of the posts in this thread, just a few lines of the first one, but I do think I got the general idea. However, I searched this page for the word break and didn't find it.). |
