this is how i feel when i write music. desires to write really hit me in
strong streaks, usually depending on what i've been recently listening to.
if i've been listening to a lot of ambient, and i feel a desire to write
something, it usually turns out to be an aggressive industrial track. now,
when i've been listening to industrial for awhile, and i feel a desire to
write, and it turns out to be an industrial track, it's usually crap;
whereas he one i wrote after listening to ambient for awhile is (imho)
pretty good. same thing goes for hip-hop/post-rock; jazz/synthpop;
dub/idm. anyone else noticed this?
