you know what's going to inspire you the most?

limitations.

pick two pieces of equipment from your setup and make a 20-minute EP with just those. I give you one week.


but if you want music, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NL3BlDYWmRk

this. too much technical knowledge / technology around you is an inspiration killer. You cant focus on your emotions, any message or narrative. pick a keyboard, one sound, maybe one effect or sth, one instrument max two.
>>
>>64554862
People always say this but it doesn't apply to me. I've been working with limitations for years and I've done pretty much everything there is to do with the few tools that I have. I need something completely new that I've never used before.

Not OP btw
>>
>>64555868
get a new instrument you have no idea how to play and try to make noises with that or something then
>>
>>64555951
I don't have enough money. I also can't write conventional songs on an instrument like normal people.

I've realized recently that I suffer from what I call Steven Stapleton Disorder ; in other words I'm doomed to keep doing completely different types of things that have nothing to do with each other and then somehow work them together into one cohesive project. I just can't focus on one method of music making.

>>64556051
buy a rusty half broken violin for $20 at some yard sale and make an non-conventional song
>>
>>64556101
I already have a viola that I can just break myself. I've completely forgotten that I have it, actually, so thanks for the reminder.

glad i could help lol
