...or something like that.

anyhow, pulled from another discussion...

there is a lot of talk about loopy, disposable techno. but not a lot of talk about what drives our music, or more specifically, when you have an idea, inspiration, whatever...how do you translate it from your head/heart to the gear/software/instrument?

do you use sounds to represent feelings? song structure to emphasize a space in time? editing to represent movement?

do you use outside sources? album art, info sheets, song titles...to further emphasize your ideas?

keep in mind this can also apply to djing, as i have for years been very specific with djs sets according to what i was trying to express. composition, mixing style, eqing, can all be used to emphasize feeling...
so djs are not expempt from this discussion either...

let's hear it!
