The Studio Log - What Did You Do In The Studio

[PatchAdamz]

I used to be a pretty good lyricist. Haven't written a word in 20+ years. Too bad, because I have lots to say after such a long interval. My brain is blocked. Maybe try something that is meant to be goofy, but I am wary of that because so many people are afraid of writing about real feelings, that, to me, it seems rather like pointless exercises.

What I find is creativity is something that needs to be used often.
The more that flow is allowed, the more the mind, body and spirit get in tune with the creative spirit and impulses.

So, it doesn't matter if it sucks, eventually when that creative river starts to flow it wont suck.

Overthinking is the death of creativity.

Its not about the mind.

You are right. I have a block against writing anything. Didn't write about my health trials and tribulations, my familial trials and tribulations, etc. There's too much trauma. Everything out of my brain is depressing. That isn't what I want to write.

Finally got my Microfreak firmware updated after realising the Arturia MIDI Control Center was never getting updated via the Software Center. Downloaded and installed latest version and then it let me install that firmware. Created the bones of a synthwave track with the ‘Freak on bass and Largo on lead and pad chords duty.

Was just playing a nice VOX AC-30 capture with a touch of plate. I'm getting the urge to sell my VOX AC-15/2 X 12“, but I'm sure it will pass.

"..Upon being asked by his co-star how a previous scene had gone, one in which Hoffmann’s character had supposedly stayed up for three days, Hoffmann admitted that he too had not slept for 72 hours to achieve emotional verisimilitude. “My dear boy,” replied Olivier smoothly, “why don’t you just try acting?” "

Or, make shit up!

Yeah. The blank page is a psych projection test. To me.

Well, you dont have to do anything...

Except die and pay taxes, so....

Its good to do stuff that make you happy, what ever that is.
Thats all I'm saying.

For me, if im not doing music, I start feeling too normal.

(Normal meaning: average, like everyone else, plain, run of the mill....)
Im not having any of that crap...

Started the morning off with a cup of coffee and obliterating some Alpha Base drum patterns with my new Analog Heat. Brutally hell-ish, in a heavenly sorta way.
