"Writers block comes from giving too much of a fuck what
other people think"
Very well stated, you hit the nail right on the head.

most of the time, my 'writers block' only lasts about a day
or 1.6, then i pluck some inspiration from nowhere and write
like 3 songs a day..

usually when i'm frustrated with not being able to write
good melodies/beats/chords/whatever i just load psp7 and do
some digital art, or play quake3 for about 3 hours or so..
also listen to other peoples music, i find that i get
inspired rather than ripping off other peoples tracks..
if all that fails, just stare at a block of cheese for
4.382981037389257234E++ hours, you should be able to crawl
by then.

i dont usually bother with making sounds/textures until i
actually start writing the track, that way i can make
something that fits the melody/chords easier..

my usual song bpm: between 60 and 240..

I keep a folder full of damaged
goods..loops..samples..beats..riffs..whatever..when ever I
am running short on inspiration I raid it..and start
throwing the oddest of the lot together...this collision
sparks synapses......
I dunno..
also mostly I have certain albums I put on that get juices
flowing...a hint..these are not the smoothest most easy
flowing albums...
Confield is one

this is true,.....I'm still searching/learning,....but
things can't happen quick enough for me. I'm 2 impatient.

This vacation 2 Spain will do me good,..maybe I'mma record
street musicians there with my mini-disc recorder. Or
whatever,......observe shit.

Is Adam F the same as Adam Freeland?

Me too, 3 of my best tracks were made the same day while I
was up all night working on coursework.

I don't know,.he's pretty commercial tho.
Use 2 make nice jungle/drum & bass music with especially
skilled production.

Lately he has released a Hip hop album.

check out that 'circles' song of him,..it's a classic

why dont you learn an instrument (guitar, keyboard whatever)
and get some friends together and jam for a while.. make
sure you record it because you might come up with some
interesting melodies...

flea: confield is a normal sounding album for me.. i'm so
used to listening to / making that sort of music its not
funny

learning an instrument = sumptin'I'm still working
on,.luckily I have some skilled guitar playing friends that
come over and jam once in a while.

But they have troubles understanding my music,.so I end up
sampling their solo's,..and raping the waves in wavelab.
