hey whats up doods. =) i've been working on a solo project for... going on 7 or 8 years. most of that time has been spent learning the
elusive art of production, and pushing freeware and software vst's to their limit; in order to sound as professional as humanly possible.
sound quality wise, i think i can honestly say i'm finally where i want to be. i don't like the idea of being constricted to one general sound; i love the
contrast and concepts of NIN, Gorillaz, APC,TOOL, etc. i want a running theme, an overtone and dedicated passion... but i'm completely lost. i do everything myself;
sometimes i use samples, sometimes it's addictive drums; i plug things into other things; i play what ever instrument i need to get the job done... but i feel like
i have been completely drained of inspiration.. confidence in following through a single song.. i cant seem to balance the grounded-get to work and make it happen end of creation, and the - ethereal; soul bloodletting spur of the moment sudden wave of grace experience. I'm not against working with other musicians, but at the same time; i feel like i have emotions and vibes i need to release that are very personal to me, and need my precise care to be expressed correctly.
any advice from the community? personal stories?
love and sincere appreciation for all 'yall, and any help you can contribute.
