I don't know why I do, it just makes me feel better i guess. Why do you? |

So it's something you are passionate about? What sort of feelings does it give you? When you make music do you have a goal in mind? |

Making music, writing, drawing, and painting are not only ways to get something out, but also very peaceful processes. I’m in my world, no worries, I don’t really think. It’s like knowing, you get intuitively connected. If I don’t do those things, I tend to fill up. I also listen to music, watch tv, and read! ;) |

yes i agree with you, for me it's a cathartic process of expressing myself at that time which is sometimes peaceful and sometimes frustrating and everything in between. i think this is why i usually work quickly and don't return to things hardly ever. it's a product of its time and of me at that time and it's nice to listen back and reflect on that moment. |

I make the music i actually like or want to listen to, or at least i try. Creating things is also better than just consuming things. |

Entertainment. Like the nintendo "entertainment" system. Brains like entertainment. Except for.. almost everybody that has been transformed into a zombie by the compulsory education system, which is a much worse system than the nintendo entertainment system. Usually other humans entertain you, but when you have no friends and are close to the lowest pecking order in society, you have to create artificial things, like music, for anything at all to even exist. By creating music or any other art, I'm creating artificial friend substitues. |

The immediate reason is that I get in a bad mood if I don't improvise/compose/create tracks for a too long time. My skills are not that great, so usually I'm a bit discouraged from creating music when I look at the results. But then I get too "depressed" if I don't create for too long, and shrug it off, and then I start again. ... When it comes to playing the music of others, it's different. Playing J.S. Bach on the guitar gives me mental orgasms like nothing else in the world. |

hah, not a bad answer i got into electronic music for the girls, of course! serious tho, it's just pressing buttons on things - it's basically the same as using a remote control to find a tv channel you want to watch. |

i haven't been able to make music for a couple of years now and i miss it a lot. no wavelab on the computers here :( i used to love chopping samples up, making rhythms out of found sounds n shit, it was my main creative outlet. need to get back to it |

it's a good question. if you asked me, "do i enjoy myself while writing music?" the answer would probably be "maybe about half the time." the other half i am obsessing over details. driving myself absolutely bonkers. refusing to let myself get up to pee until i finish this bit. i get the same way with programming, building circuits, and posting on xltronic. on the flip side, i remember when i was writing "too bad" i was absolutely glued to it because working on it was the only thing capable of distracting me. every time i took a break, i collapsed into a heap of tears. there's the comment clark made about how it's creating little mazes for you to find your way out of, how he would have mental health issues if he didn't, well, i really feel that |

Acid and rave parties in the 80's and 90's made me want to create music too. Been playing with music programmes on computers, drummachines, samplers and synths since then. My goal is not to become a musician, I just love to play with sound. |

What do people generally spend most of their time doing when making music? Crafting the sounds they will use, composing with them, post-production etc? |

i think one has to match the music and the words he spends over it |

it really, really depends on the context. am i using a bass guitar or a laptop or an akai mpc? all very different workflows. i'll go with software, though, since that really feels like what you were asking about. first, i do something. put some notes and sounds down. put some more down. get a loop going; a groove. start unrolling it into a song with a story... and, here is where i spend most of my time: fuss with it a little, play it back, repeat. i will often listen to the whole song (as much of it as i've written) six or seven times in a row just to get a single note right. once i've been going a couple hours, i don't have to rewind as much, but there's really something about how one noise leads to the next and how if i don't start from the beginning i don't have the proper perspective. it actually gets quite strategic -- how much can i change before i have to play the whole song over to make sure it still works? i feel like i am amplifying something. each pass through the song, i have opinions and change something. those little decisions are a gradual wind that goes somewhere... i suppose i am amplifying myself, somehow. |

Generally trying to put down what is in my mind as best as I can in any way that I can. I can't sit down and just do whatever, it has to come from somewhere. Sometimes I put some image on my big screen and I let my brain loose on the visual stimuli and write that down into composition. I could make an album to a two-color gradient.. |
