Great topic - and a courageous thread starter.
Thought I would do mine to keep it alive
.
As it comes to sources of inspiration -
they are numerous and still you can explore new ones I guess.
As far as I know, WANTING inspiration is impossible.
You must create the circumstances and "ask" for it -
(pray for it - if you like).
You GET an idea - you dont create it -
you receive it - - - from where? - You name it
.
One of the sources of inspiration that has been most
surprising to me is pure emptiness.
Through an almost complete empty mind, the most amazing
things have developed. - Truly surprising!
(and this has not been reached through a state of practised
meditation. It has been reached through a kind of emotional
point of zero - an almost depressed state of mind - actually)
The empty space has no distractions, no criticism,
no boundaries. I has only pure space for pure music.
But to put it down dry: Im mostly driven by emotions,
and I kind of seek resonance for my emotions in sound and
music. When I find it, it improves and enhances the emotions,
making me wanting - and exploring - searching for an even deeper
level of resonance or understanding.
So it can go on for quite a while.
And out of that comes -
(hopefully
music.
The most important in all this I guess, is to believe it.
When you feel its there, seize the moment - of inspiration.
can you recognize your self in some of that? - or not?
.
Feedback on this is very welcome - even if I dont know you.
I just started, so I dont know anyone in here.
(But maybe thats gonna change
)
