I'm yet to finish something I'm happy with and I've been at it for a few years part time while in school. Now I don't even bother saving work, just power off when I can't keep my eyes open anymore.

I've come to a number of conclusions about the creative process:

1) you can't buy it or [k]rack it
2) see 1

For me, anyways, there is something chronic about opening pandora's box of problem solving. Like, give me this drum machine. How's it work? Right. Done. OK, now give me that synth. How's it work? Done. Now add samplers, more drum machines, efx, tie it together with midi, mixer, audio, sequencers: hard, now soft?, right add computer (first unravel the o/s mystery) then software versions of everything again, and then more new sh!t:souncards, scsi, and "read the installation instructions twice experience" , blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.... and finally, make it all work together. Where's the music? Nowhere to be found. It ain't in any of it.

What's my point?

Find one thing that works and work it!
