When one is too full then there's no place left for anything of that sort to happen I find. It is not a trance, but it's a state where 'inspiration' can be recognized. It's almost as if time becomes less in focus in the sense that as music tracks are playing and one is adding new notes, there is a sense of immediately feeling what was played and what is coming up. I know it sounds corny to say it like this. Of course we know what was played and what is coming up, we created those tracks in the first place. It's more of a being in the 'here and now' type of thing. I do not find the words.... maybe one day :) Cheers.

One sees a post about a musical creation (or it can be other things), takes a listen, and then leaves one totally indifferent or barely does something or instead creates a reaction, a negative reaction. For a couple of years I have written reviews for a genre-dedicated fanzine. Mostly of albums, sometimes of concerts. I have done a few interviews, in person or by long distance call. I chose the albums but was also given some to review in the same genre. And there were albums that I did not care much for initially. So the first thing I did is to get a listening mind that is more open. The difference between having to write reviews and a mailing list or a forum is the 'having to' part of it. Which is good I find, because it forces to stretch a bit. However, this does not exist in the mailing lists or forums. Indeed, what does one owe to anybody else in such contexts ? Nothing. You are free. It is a collection of free entities that communicates between themselves. If this is not the case then there is probably too much ego involved. In other words, what's wrong with not saying anything ? Why would one feel that this is wrong ? This is the real question in there that should be faced if one wants to know more about it. And as you may have noticed, I do not comment much on your music :) Cheers.
