What is honest music? I feel that I've been writing more 'honest' music than I
ever have. How can I tell? I really don't know, to tell the truth. Maybe it's just
'cause my music lately has been minimalist, abstract and atonal and those
words sum up my life right now. But how does that make it feel more 'honest'
than the stuff I was writing when I was happy as a child chewing my cheeks off
and waving glowsticks in front of my face? I dunno. Maybe I'm just old and self-
righteous now.

It's my birthday tomorrow. Turning twenty-seven, and just about to finish
teacher's college. At least I'm out of my composing slump...phew

Peaceout,

Peter

I think it depends on your motivation, but that's another thread.

The tough thing is that the only one that can really guage that 'honesty' is you. I
don't think I trust myself with that much responsibility.

"nah - you should try and do a 3 minute commercial pop/RnB crossover track Influx "

heh..but..that would be even more dishonest.

actually would really like to hit on some downtempo breaks/instrumental hip hop stuff ala ninja tune/shadow records.

then again..just doing what comes to you is being honest, isnt it

yeah but Influx.... see it as a challenge of your musician skills - to do something you dont normaly do, and make it sound good - not as easy as it seems.

err yeah... but try to actually enjoy doing it, otherwise it makes no sense, kinda.

thing is, as soon as you stop having fun while composing and get bogged down in technicalities you are probably doing something wrong... then again, its possible that almost everyone does things for the wrong reasons at least half the time... and thats what casparproject meant no? the whole let-go-and-see-what-comes-out thing? yeah, everyone should try that one in a while... thats why a lot of the DT fav. tracks are ambient bits from people who actually do totaly different kinds of music but felt the need to let a different kind of emotions out...

err... no idea what i'm saying actually, i just woke up... whatever

mmmmm....actually it was egyptian.

freud, quite stuck on mother.... would have none of it.
but jung most definitely did and quite boisterously.
it was, in fact..... what set the two apart.
student and teacher in near violent disagreement........and for life.
but you already knew that.
