Inspiration

I have been feeling slightly confused recently. I feel like I have been suffereing from what can best be described as a sound barrier between my thoughts and my actions. for the past week I have been unable to produce and sounds that might be of worth to anyone; whilst I have tried upon numerous occasions, I felt like I could never find the certain tone I was looking for, or the right settings or effects to use. I felt as thought my music had become quite ubiquitous and expected, making music had become a routine, too much so. As if my head had become clouded from over-use, like I had been waiting for something without realising it.

However, a day and a night spent in the woods with good friends and plenty to do has left me feeling refreshed as if the flood gates for the creative centre of my mind had been lifted. I felt thoughts and feelings articulate themselves coherantly and flow freely from my finger tips with no convolution. I felt no revelation or moment of inspiration, although it was more akin to a tap on the underside of a full barrel being slowly loosened and the demiurgic nectar realeased. I felt the urge to transmit these fresh feelings into sounds earlier today and operated my instruments with ease and maximum effiency for nearly 3 hours, writing and recording over an hour and a half of publishable material.

I have been watching and listening to some pretty interesting stuff recently so I might assume that this had something to do with that.
