Man, a return trip to the boards has offered some good reading this morning.

I think every producer has a different mindset about what they are "creating" and what it has to eventually become. New or Old, creating a chunk of music is done for some reason.

Is it something to pay for your roof over your head? Is it something that will be a business card and get you gigs because many people will hear it and get familiar with "your sound"? Is it an experiment to see if you can compete/beat other records you like? Is it your equivilant of a punching bag that you use for expressing your emotions in a productive manner? Is it simply something you "do" because you are used to doing it..a familiar routine that is comforting? Is it an exercise to see if you can freak yourself out because you are your own worst critic? Is it an escape from having to deal with other "realities" in your life? Or does it shift between all these things on any given day?

Techno is evolution and no one evolves at the same pace, or rate. I would say that you can make comparisons to where you think people are at, but it is like a long race where the runners are all only part way into it. Newer runners are sprinting up, others are getting a 2nd wind, others have stopped to nap, but will be running again soon.

I don't even know if that makes sense to anyone. oh well.
