"It would be in vainto try to put into words that immeasurable sense of bliss which comes over me directly a new idea awakens in me and begins to assume a definite form. I forget everything and behave like a madman. Everything within me starts pulsing and quivering; hardly have I begun the sketch ere one thought follows another. In the midst of this magic process it frequently happens that some external interruption wakes me from my somnambulistic state: a ring at the bell, the entrance of my servant, the striking of the clock, reminding me that it is time to leave off. Dreadful, indeed, are such interuptions. Sometimes they break the thread of inspiration for a considerable time, so I have to seek it again- often in vain."
-Peter Ilich Tchaikovsky
man, do i relate with EVERYTHING in this quote. (except having a servant).
but esp the part about the feelings of bliss when writting music. I feel the same way. When I talk to other musicians, and I tell them that Im not really big on performing or playing an instrument, but writting, they dont seem to comprehend this. Im glad such a genius feels the same way though! =)

i'd rather write other peoples music.
i hate being interrupted.
coz i never get a chance to talk (which is why im going nuts on the bm todaie, hope you all dont mind) - in my family my sister is a swimmer and they talk about her all the time
*sob* and she gives me dreary looks when i say i got nice comments on my songs and stuff.
lol, anyways......(!)

That's terrible, favoring one child over another, especially an athletic one...

but actually convincing to get them to stop what they are doing and come have a listen is hard :S

ah nahhh it's ok my parents nkow what theyre doing they let my sister go on about herself at dinner coz shes liek that (ver. competitive) and i'm usually quiet at dinnertmie anyways (i eat)
they talk abotu me other times.
PS i used to be as she is now when i was her age (a few eyars ago - when i did state basketball) and she refuses to beleive it, haahha.
dad goes "katie, cal used to be at least as fit as you are not so dont get too up yourself"
heehee thanks :)
PS the writing other ppl music thing was just ....nonsense...really.
Zeus - yeah my parents get that too, but my dad is really into music. all kinds. he currently had the rdj album in his car (i put some og my cds in there) and hes really into some of squarepushers stuff. he hates rnb aswell, hahaha

yeah, my dad plats guitar and is really supportive of me. its just that he works long days, and is tired when he gets home etc...
yeah, i may have made it sound too dramatic. my family is really supportive.
none of them really like IDM though :S
my sis likes alittle, my dad likes SOME but not enough to listen to on his own, and my mom generally doesnt listen to much music

neith erdoes my mum
heh my sister is a little rn head. gah! dammit i used to love it when she was into rock leik grinspoon and frenzal rhomb and that coz i like a lot f that kind of stuff too.
and i used to borrow heaps of her cds... now all her new ones are usher and nellie....bah.
a lot of ppl who make music dont even show their stuff to the other ppl in their family. that's always puzzled me.

my sister has the wierdest tastes
she listens to like, fiona apple, and tori amos, but then she likes guns n roses, and cold play, and the who, and this and that and everything
she listens to every possible genre
its kinda wierd looking through her cds...
yeah, i always show my family my work and get thier opinions on it. im close with my family though... not everyone is, so i can see why some people dont bother to show it... :(
