Well, going from one track about every two weeks for two years to nothing is a bit of a slow down

true and erm, I don't have a solution. Have you tried making some folk music or something?

I didn't write a song for about 3 years between 1994 and 1997. I couldn't so much as be bothered trying for much of that time and the more I worried about it, the worse it got. I eventually squeezed one out but I never really got back on that horse until I started working with SiK on NOVAkILL. Even now though, I am nowhere near as prolific as I used to be. In the late '80's and early '90's I was writing a dozen good songs a year, many of which are now lost forever after so many hardware upgrades and failing floppy discs. I don't even have decent copies on tape of 20 or so songs that I can recall fragments of.

I'd probably say never. I almost never actually _finish songs_ but I'm constantly starting on new ones and work on them until it's time for the last final touches, that's when they get boring to work on and I start new stuff. I have probably composed around 100 songs per year since I started making music. And hell yeah, a lot of them are lost by now, one old song I made, called "8888", often springs back into my mind and I start humming on that frenetic melody

I made plenty of songs on Amiga. I never owned an Amiga, ofcourse those are lost now, same goes for the stuff I made using my own printer port DAC back in the days.

No regrets though.

I was going to start a post to this effect last night. I am hitting a dry spell right now and it is killing me. My problem is, I feel like I am always taking a break. Everyone says, "You are trying to hard. Take some time off." When I come back to start something I am motionless. I know what I want to do but can't translate it into something musical. I feel like giving up. I've stopped buying software and instruments because I don't think more gear will help. I've taken a music theory class and I have looked for inspiration everywhere. I'm doomed.

The biggest inspiration for me is usually clubbing or sounds

So, if you're having trouble composing shit, go clubbing...

they can be surprisingly musical while having their skulls smashed in

what's the longest dry spell you've ever had
