After my last article I was really excited to start producing music. I sat down, thought about the story in which I wanted to create and was ready to go. Then something unexpected happened. Life!
To make a long story short, I got in a fight with my partner. The thing that sucked is I felt as if all my creative energy was sucked out of me. I was pissed because I lost all the inspiration I just had. Instead of running home and still producing I went on a walk. During that time I let my mind move on to another idea. I contemplated why I got mad, processed life, and so on.
Later I still had some angst so I did what only any sane person would do. I made deep dark Dubstep. Like shit in your brain robot sex on a psychedelic spaceship type of Dubstep. Man it felt good… and it is total rubbish. I will of course not share the track with you. It’s not worth polishing up. It was just to let things go. So here is my point. When life takes away your creativity just let it go. It always comes back around so chill out. I also got to let it go by making music I never do while the full intention to not do anything with it.
Now another day and another story. I feel creative again and back in the music flow. I’ll sit down and repeat the same steps of thinking, relaxing into it, and letting the music come out. I’ll leave you with a video I watched on Ted Talk the other day on creativity. It gives some deeper insight into the creative process and “the muse”.
