i dont think its a case of motivation i think im just completely and helplessly addicted..

I think I'm just addicted to it really. Even when I know I shouldn't be doing it, like now, I'm supposed to be preparing for GCSEs, but instead, I'm in FL, wasting time, procrastinating

The money, fame and vagina.

It's my life, I love and glad I am capable of making music.
Work is making it harder to get some time to make more but happy with what I have.

For real?? This is when im most creative, my workflow increases by like a gagillion times because i very quickly pick up on what would sound good with what. I really see bud as the imagination drug, surprisingly it can make alot more charismatic too, but thats not important. Talkings overrated anyways, we should seriously just stop fucking around and learn how to speak telepathically.

Really helps me get into my music better too

I used to think this and its fun/good for the creative tweaking parts, but when it comes to the not so creative ("okay now i need to clean up the mid section, add eqs and tidy stuff up") part i find it a hinderance. Also i think i screw up more projects with over-tweakin when im buzzin and there is nothing worse then going to bed high with the thought, shit that track is so good, that riff is aweseome,,, then waking up the next day and going ....wow thats bad... did i really think that was good? maybe it was a diffrent track.... no its this one... wow its bad....

Do love havin a smoke and listening to my own tunes! +D there like sooooo awesome man...

=] i always saw it as an endless openended videogame, its fun, and am motivated by my past achievements and love for electronic music.

I also only listen to my own tracks on my mp3 player!! anyone else do this? (sometimes il have a mix on there or a commercial album to hear whats going on outside of my own music but mostly i like to listen to my own tracks,, that idea that its changable that i can go home and take that section out, excites and motivates me more )

I'm always to lazy and distracted to make anything, end up watching films, which is why I rarely use these days

you know that might just be true. All the real precise work just seems to drag on and on when i got that thc in my blood. But its a neccesity when im starting something up from scratch. That's where that little extra motivation and creativity is needed for me! Maybe this explains what was wrong with my latest track? There literally was not a second where i worked on this tune with a completely sober mind set.

I am curious. Say something happens in my life that inspires me. Lets say that I fell in love (just to be generic), how do you put those thoughts and feelings and convert them to music. Also, what if this feeling goes away? I dunno... just some thoughts.

if the feeling goes away beyond recall then its not strong enough to write a song off i dont think. Think about some time you were really feeling something deeply is my advice

life, nature, random songs in my head
loads of weird shit as well
other genres definitely are a big source of motivation for me and production techniques, like man if this got incorporated into from this genre or technique into my own style or this genre would be so great to my ears or be an aural failure
all about experimenting

oh and drugs booze and sex
the power of the pussy over me and being in love or heartbroken has influenced too many tunes

i've always wanted to write a tune that explained a story. Like an adventure of some sorts, where the feel of the song is constantly evolving to new levels that describe events? If anyone has done this before i'd really like to check out your track!
