This rings true with me shiva,If I watch a GOOD film I will get so many ideas and feelings from it wich will end up triggering me to convay that in to a piece of music.
It sends my gf mad the way I sit there and cant just watch a film without saying every 10 mins "what a great name for a tune and running off to right it down or being inspired by the mood of a scene or by a moment of music or atmosphere ,even a centance can spark an idea.

This kind of connects to what slavs piont in that you should be pulling and getting that spark from much more than just the last techno track you realy liked.

Alltho that can work for me too ,If I listen to a good set I feel the need to sit down and get what I got from listening to that set in to my own take on it.(hope that makes sense)
For instance I had a listen to the Luka Bauman Rods Konez set and had to spend the night getting it all out in to an idea of my own ,I didnt even finish the peice of music I just needed to get an idea down and get it out of my system.
