I sit here with this keyboard and my Macintiosh and wonder about motivation. We
as a group compose beats, noise, and maybe a melody, but why? Is it motivation
or time killed or a good fuck (for our mind)? What motivates us? I get into my room
with all my expensive electronics and push buttons. PUSH BUTTONS? ok, I am a
Master Control Operator for TV. I push lots of butttons and I am not motivated. I
like TV but I like money too, which I make from pushing buttons. Cut to cut, edit to
edit. I put stuff together. BUT, the motivation in music is different. Do I think of
money, no. It silences the world. It keeps me from going mad when my girlfriend
hates and cheats on me. I am motivated to vent my filth. is it filth tho? GOD DAMN
ART! where's the art? I push buttons, I DO NOT bleed while I push piano keys to
bleed in the index. I say, hello macintosh, dear diary, you are much more forgiving
when I am motivated. HA!

FUCK! what is music then? heh, we know then. I have much respect a dude like
Paul Van Dyrk who makes a fabulous track with a chick going: "ERRRMMMM
dAYYYY AHHHH YYEAAA". What the fuck is it about with electronic music then?

so I thereby say, what motivates you (while you know the truth). It's all crap but its
soo good. EVER SHIT on the TOILET and felt, DAMN, I FEEL great while I SHIT.
I'm not ragging like a whore whose dried up a rag crusted to a piece of a card
stock. Leaving you wondering, HOW AM I GONNA WIPE MYSELF? but with the
intelligent notion that what does it all mean? and why are you motivated? and does
it make sense? Is it just easy, or just the latest tool in creation for your motivation
and self-worth?

damn, I love the guys who make money on there electronodal music,

Feel good? Docile? Comfortable? Whuh? Most folks I know who make music, myself included do not make it because we're ok. We make it because we feel pretty fuckin far from OK. If you're not feeling particularly motivated, and you're thinking that hard about why, perhaps things are looking up enough to give you the breathing room to do that. Usually a good pot of coffee and a cigarette help motivate.

Ouch! Pongoid, I've been having trouble writing [music] recently and my life is going great atm so you've just given me another excuse to slack off. Damn you! :P I have to ask, though, are you a rocker or a hippie or something? :P Most of my producer and DJ mates just love music (and yes there is a major element of power involved, but we leave that undiscussed). We love the times we are having and making and playing music really helps to amplify and define these times. We just love the image and the vide of music I guess.

And xoxos, an agent for what? Could you possibly define the object of your retort a little further? I'm tired and I missed it.

I'm motivated more by working with my Friend these days. He's got a great
voice and I want him to be heard by others, so I'm working towards that. Maybe
I'll truly find myself during the process.

"Could you possibly define the object of your retort a little further?"

Oh, dear. Do I really sound like that when I'm drunk?

Pict, we are making something that strikes people emotionally, and makes them dance. There is a huge amount of power in that. Music is an intensely powerfull thing. This is why it is so often used to control and it also why it is so often banned. When you play at a club, you are essentially the master of the crowd. And this is a huge atraction to many people.

and we wonder why there's so much shitty music

.......when people's highest aspiration is to be "master of the crowd".

yet still far from having mastered anything within their own selves.

pict - the kind of power that makes people buy pepsi products, or ignore that their president is an usurper. the kind of power that makes teenagers feel good about living in a shitty factory. i guess.. the power of.. mass public experience :p that'd be broadcasting, right..

'agent' - my heritage.

Motivation?

Can be ANYTHING you want- If you have to question it, you probably dont have it.

i'm motivated by the fact that no one is making exactly the kind of music that i'd like to hear, so i try to produce it myself. then i invariably fail at it and am pissed off that no one is making exactly the kind of music that i'd like to hear, so i try to... err... i think i see where this is going? :p
