OK so today I was at work listening to psyentifica - full on masters, a psytrance mix.
I was seriously daydreaming about how awesome my music would be in a few years (hah. . dont we all? :P)
Anyway in my daydream I was playing live in a club in my local town. . . and I was debuting this new track I had made. . . well really it was more like an entire style of music that I've certainly never heard before.
It was amazing, and has totally inspired me to keep on with producing music - I have nowhere near the talent to produce even a prototype of what I imagined yet!
So I'm sure you all want to know what this amazing song was like. . well unfortunately I can't tell you. . see. . it was more a kind of 'feeling' or 'rough outline' of how it would sound, and how it would be arranged, etc. etc. . . and for the life of me I can't come up with any words to describe it - there is some kind of almost impenetratable barrier between thought and expression blocking my way.
The best I can do is tell you that the track would be called 'fireworks' . . and it wouldnt actually have fireworks sampled in it :P
In fact it was very synthy. . rather than sample based. . almost entirely synth based. . kind of a synth explosion or something :s very clean sounds, not alot of harsh/noisey things going on. smooth and powerful, kind of like trance in a way but not at all like trance.
Sorry I can't explain it. . I just thought I'd write this down hear to keep me from forgetting when I go to sleep.
I need to hang onto this fragment of amazingness with my life.. . cos its totally inspired me to work hard to make it a reality, even if it takes the rest of my life. | |

I've had the same kinda thing happen to me a couple times.
It was pretty much like when you're reeeeaaaaly high on pot, and you get lost in your thoughts, any idea that pops up somehow flows smoothly to another wether it seems related or not.
Kinda hard to describe really, but with this imaginary songs it felt the same way somehow, part out of nowhere, part under control.
I just wish that caused me the same reaction as you cartesia, cause afterwards i could'nt help but feel depressed over the huge gap between this utopian compositions, and my actual outcome.
Anyways, thanks for sharing.

LOL at this blog.  I don't think people create their dreams. A great way to get music form you subconscious is to play something you're not that familiar with very quietly, then play white noise on to of it so that you can barely hear the music. If you relax and listen you'll hear awesome shit that isn't really what's playing.
Also, I think it's pointless to try to consciously recreate stuff that comes from the subconscious. I think the subconscious should take part in the creative process and it will eventually express itself clearly

dear pawel,
i have ignored you for the most part until now - i have been quite intimidated by the bredth of your knowledge - but now you have intrigued me, i am into electronic music at is very periphery; my knowledge of it is shallow at best. the little that i have heard is pretty interesting and therefore has led me to want to delve further into it. you seem quite knowledgeable in the matter and i would like to engage you in a discussion heretofore expanding my knowledge in the matter. i am quite certain that the stuff i make isn't quite up to snuff, which is, in all honesty, something i would like to resolve. perhaps in in your benevolence you can find it to take me under you wing, so to speak; to guide me in a direction that will - albeit, quite unlikely - increase my ability to make passable, hell, even suitable electronic music. for i know all too well the praise i recive for my songs is ingenuine; it is done mearly out of sympathy. please, if you would, i would like to enlist your aid as a teach of the history of electronic music, you insiteful posts lead me to belive that you are quite knowledgable, perhaps even a historian of electronic music. i wish to differentiate myself from the denizens of this site, i no longer have the desire to be one of the mudane multitude, i need more than this shallow mediocrity. in short: i wish to attain a minutiae of the success that i assume you have garnered, your guidance would be extremely gratifying.
thank you,
seanh

Again, this time in a nutshell. Just do your thing, cartesia. Don't worry too much about what others think of you, or what you think of yourself. And your dreams? They're your dreams.

OK i think I'm finally going to get this greasemonkey thing.
I enjoyed this blog except for all things related to Big Daddy P.
soundhack, I'm not sure about this vanity thing. I don't thing confidence is the same thing as vanity. I'll reread, maybe I'm missing your point...

@ subset
You're right, confidence and vanity are not the same thing. However, too much or too little confidence often leads to vanity. So in that sense they are related. If one is overly concerned with one's reflection of one's self, that's vanity. If one is overly concerned with what others think about one's self, that's vanity. A mirror functions as a mirror, but public opinion about one's self can also function as a mirror. There's nothing wrong with looking in a mirror, of course, unless one is compulsive and excessive about the belief of one's beauty or ugliness, ability or inability, talent or lack of talent, greatness or insignificance. The point is that vanity cripples.
A side note: Hubris is not the same as vanity either––but it is easy to see how vanity complements hubris.
