Just because I have to. How to explain further?

Because I have a lot of synthesizers, boards, mics and a well tuned PC with an amazing audiocard...

i write lyrics sometimes - specially when i went off my rocker a few years ago (still can't understand most of them). I used to do vocals for a friends group (glamorous hooligan - now defunct) & have done vocals for others, but i always felt compromised - so i guess i'm trying to learn how to make music so that eventually i can put some music behind my lyrics - and feel satisfied that they all fit together right. Plus it's intiguing & absorbing in it's own right.

I have things I want to express.

I'd also like to point out that nothing I've written that does that has been released yet. I suck.

Every time I think that music is too much effort, that I could be doing other things and I should just delete it all and give up, even if I go to do it, I can't. The idea that I would just not bother with music anymore really depresses me.

The thing is I'm not one of those obsessive music people that only make music and live and breathe only music and nothing else, so I don't know why I have such a strong reaction to letting go of it, considering how lazy I am with it.

If someone has a cure for this, let me know. :P

I make music because I'm a lazy f**k that wants an excuse not to go outside...

No, actually, I make music because, well, it's fun. And I doubt I could stop even if I wanted to.

I was in a similar positon - the harder I tried to please Bina the less she liked it...

then I said to myself:

'ah f**k it - I am the one I'm doing it for so the most important thing is to please myself '

and then I didn't try to please here at all anymore and did a tune I loved but I knew she would hate -
and guess what - it was the tune she liked most of all she heard of mine up to that point.

Today I don't give that much anymore about what others say - sometimes I listen to my own tracks and while I enjoy it I think:

'wow - great - I couldn't do this myself!'

That's the most important thing.

Meanwhile Bina loves some of my stuff b.t.w. (actually a lot of):-D

I started with it as an evening-pleasure after writing. Now it gets more and more to something I really like and couldn't be without. And by the way here and in some music-shops too

are people around that aren't such selfish and ridiculous like epigonal-postmodern haters in literature over the last years

who claim to like "variety" but would like to kill anybody who would say "Bjork is great but not my favourite singer" or who do not read books by Foucault or Deleuze or Derrida like they were the bible and we all humble believers

.

In the beginning I worked 2-3 hours on the PC after software-crashes and 20 minutes were left for making music. Now it is (most of the time) the pleasure I was after, and we'll see.

KVR is a wonderful place, only sometimes I think without KVR some songs would be finished

which now merely are song-parts (now is that an excellent AUSREDE, excuse

???) .

Knowing music of people like Jens, rsmus7, Fitch, Kriminal, Timewastin and others (and I think you all know many more, I'm still on dial-up) gives me the opinion that at last variety IS here, whereas some writers during the last years in Germany only TALKED about it

. Maybe they were only disappointed cause nobody knows them even if they are with strong and good publishers. As a result I read less and less of those nose-speakers and make music more and more.

I think in 10 years time there should be a concert, about 1 month long

where all of us play something they like the best.

obsessive drive. it insists on being made.

Why do you make music?
