Now, I know that many musicians get a lot of their inspiration by listening to other people's work, but I know there are musicians (I'm pretty sure many of we bedroom composers fit in this category) who are inspired by an image or experience. I wrote a killer ambient/noise track once after laying in my friend's backyard for an hour looking at the stars. I also wrote a great down-tempo garage track after seeing a tan girl in a white dress.... hmmmm.... 50% of the time, images usually inspire to write ambient music, or ambient music creates images in my mind. any one else experienced this sort of inspiration? |

i wrote a track once, after walking in the snow for an hour, during a blizzard at 2 am... it was surreal |

one of my favourite tracks i ever made came after a weekend camping by a loch in the north of scotland. we'd been listening to the boards a lot in pure tranquility outside. The view of the water through the campfire was stunning. |

Most of my inspiration in life comes from two things...my girlfriends face first thing in the morning, she always looks her best to me then (asleep with her gob shut...j/k)...and the docks, there is something well special about the docks. |

|
how about your girlfriend sleeping on the docks? |

i usually get my inspiration by sampling piles of old obscure vinyl and picking through the spoils. or by smoking a phatty-boom-batty bowl. sometimes i'll just be working out some beat pattern in my head all day and first thing when i get home i try to throw it down. i don't usually have any specific inspirations. |

usually i have to write my ideas down if i'm away from home. because if i don't, even if i have the melody in my head all day, as soon as i get home, it's fucking gone. |

i think some einstürzende neubauten tracks were inspired by paintings or other works... "it is as black as malevitch's square", "mela mela mela mela melancholia"... also some places in berlin... |

( for example is full of visuals - all are obvious, except maybe that red-gold-black could be the german flag backwards. i don't know why the german flag backwards, they also had the german eagle upside down in another artwork from Fünf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala) |

"It's not as golden as Zeus famous shower" wtf |

I quite often find inspiration by looking at the clouds in the sunset but i can be inspired by anything at any time it just has to catch me unawares. |

i just remembered.... there was this series of six tracks i wrote inspired by railroad cars a long time ago... some of my noisy-as-fuck polyrhythmic stuff... there were 6 mixes i made of one song and i made each song using letters and numbers off of cars. And each mix was named after the letters. Each digit was a drum noise and some letters became notes of the melody. Weird stuff. |

I always get crazy ideas when I'm up in the graveyard behind my house at night walking around like some weirdo deep in weirdo thought. I've got this horror movie (zombie flick) worked out in my mind inspired by and set in that place. |

Shatterproof > it is mythological... Zeus turning himself into a rain of gold to come into a prison where (i don't remember who) was locked... |

I'd have to say my most inspirational object is ecnadniarb's girlfriend. |

I started making a track inspired by going out for late-night/early morning high-speed drive out in the country, awe-inspiring. Sadly the track was never finished. |

that's a killer pic, ceri jc! i can easily see how that would inspire someone... in fact... i think i feel a song coming on... |

Indeed a great pic, Ceri JC. The song sounds like it "belongs" to that picture. The tune feels eerie, lonely. ^^ |
