Maybe you should start. Every action is a positive action, even if it has a negative result. |

ambient, techno, spacy music in general. Im not really into IDM, more 60-110BPM ambient stuff. |

you need to just sit @ one point, and whatever comes out comes out. THEN leave it alone for 6 weeks. Don't ever look at it, just do other shit for a while. Go fishing, get in touch with shit you are shut away from. 6 weeks later, pull it out, and go over it with a comb, pick it apart, what you like, how it makes you feel. And fix it. 6 weeks, advice from Stephen King |

eh, you don´t live on the Jayzusin´ moon, man! You have a pretty varied planet under your ass that should inspire you with its myriad facads.. if not, you is fooked! |

I dont work that way regrettably. Most of my track are made in a few hours, I start sequencing and shit and 3 hours later I am recording. I need to capture the energy of the moment. I cant really work on something for more than a day. |

sure you can. it's part of getting out of what you do. that's the whole point, if you break out of what you do, you'll see the reasons you like doing it your way, POOF! inspiration! |

You mean, just leaving my gear for a few weeks? I started to do that the past few days, just programming new sounds on my synth. So I should actually go out into the real world? AR? |

yourr mind will be in overr drrive and its clouding the good stuff, hidden, you need to frree yourr mind up, get out forrget about the music, and the inspirration will come to you frrom things arround you. |

jere is a good cheat for inspiration.... but you need to have my brain. I´m no good at translating the memory of a melody or drumloop or synth into an actual sound. For example, i can think of the theme to "Star Wars", say, but whistling it produces something unrecognisable. Applying this to some hardware and software results in totally unique and origional melodies that are actually the badly formed shadows of actual tunes in my head.. ... simple and endless! i´ve done this with stuff from music from Shinobi the arcade game to Madness. Nuts! |

no no You sit down, 2night tommorow, and just bang out shit, whatever, doesn't matter. Then you just walk away. Don't do anything with making music for 6 complete weeks. No matter what Don't listen to your old music, listen to other stuff. Read a book. 6 weeks. Go fishing, take a trip. UNwind and worry about nothing. Then when you come back, take out your music and listen. Then rip it apart and fix it up. You'll appreciate your old forumla again, and you'll be reenergized to hit it again. You'll appreciate the old way you made music..... 6 weeks, that's the magic number. |

6 weeks? 42 days? 1008 hours? 604800 minutes? 3628800 seconds? ... Maybe I should get a girlfriend? will keep me quiet for 6 months... |

go fishing... i would. i trried it once but i hooked my dad and it put me off forr a while. i still have a quality rod |

don't make any music for some time. instead, listen to completely different music, that mostly does the trick for me. |
||||||||
|

|
|
for about six weeks......... |

If you're looking to write tunes, then definately do not get a girlfriend. |
||||||||
|
|

yeah, but loose one, and have songs pouring out your ears for years |

okay... maybe get a hamster? Anyways, I DO need to take some time off. I've been doing music for the past 4years I think minimal 20 hours a week. Wish I got those ours paid... |

serious answer: try moving your gear to another room (if possible). or even just try facing your gear in another direction. that works for me a lot of the times... and it's cheaper than an eightball. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I moved my gear like 4 feet to the left, and thinking of it, since then things turned bad. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I need inspiration I just start to play the piano... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And thats also a serious answer. |
||||||||
|

What 'bout this? I just go out with my little recorder and go compile a sounds library, mechanical sounds, everything I can think of. I havent done that yet. And the idea of recording sounds everywhere feels good. |
||||||||
|

|
|
you're on the right track Do easy things that make you smile But you HAVE to get away from your music for a while, just go. When you come back, and things have been simple, you will be ready to roll |

take walks around your town and explore it, or even better ride a bike. bike rides around town are what have given me countless inspirations over the past couple years. no joke! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the recording sound Idea is extremly good... Then when you are done just start tweaking what you recorded... You don`t know how many times a really good sound gave me inspiration... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like that idea |
