What is it that drives you? What keeps you making music?
As of lately, I haven't had the drive to do SH!T! What keeps things compelling for you?

Well, to keep it short and simple. What drives me to make music, even though I haven't got there yet, is a massive wish to get all the music I hear in my head sorta manifested in reality. And when that doesn't work I just wanna make someting sounding as juicey as possible with what I have. Also did I mention I reeeeally wanna learn how to make these sounds so that I one day might make something as heavy as what is hiding in my brain right now. Yeah, I think that's why. I might be wrong though. My brain is a bit of a bitch sometimes.

I often go through stages where I have a massive mental block and just can't produce for a while. At these times I find it useful to work on sound design of individual noises so that you can incorporate these into a track when the drive comes back. As to what gives me inspiration, I'd say music is my way of expressing my self. How I'm feeling at a given time drives both the need to make music and the style I make.

I find that its the only thing I can inspire myself to do at all. cant sit still in a classroom for a minute but I'll spend 12 hours in front of ableton. I dont know exactly why. I do know that anytime I need a little inspiration I listen to some Bach.

inspiration comes from the weed and the bass for me, the desire to have people shakin that ass in front of me, might have started because of girls and drugs not sure.

These days definitely weed n bass and pushing myself to make create new vibes and sounds

I was touched by the finger of god and now I try to fight crime using only my subwoofers.

i get inspired by just playing around in ableton, forgetting about getting any finished result, just making noises, dropping random shit in there until something pops....jusy PLAY

so i guess you could say the process becomes the inspiration....just start, and remeber its supposed to be FUN

and yes, Bach too, i prefer the cello sonatas...wanting to play them on bass got me going with music, which led me to drum machines, then Live

flying through psychedelic wormholes to other dimensions, communicating with enlightened aliens and decoding cosmic secrets of eternal existence to activate superhuman powers is kind of inspiring...

and signing swarms of bouncy, sweaty boobs of hot girls that are like "omg, you CHANGED MY LIFE!"

:mrgreen:

What is happening in my life that I want to express to others, and constantly feeling the need to prove myself. It keeps me learning and critical of my own music. Lately smoking a little bit of weed has helped me get in the zone.

Its funny. I have been having trouble feeling inspired as of late. I googled some ideas and decided to use the search here. Came up with a current topic.

I feel you!!!!!!! I don't know why it comes and it goes. Some days I can work for 8 hours and it will seem like seconds working on a track and moments like this when I am without idea and frustrated I feel as if I have E.D.
I will try to force myself and see what happens but I can never keep it up.

It will pass though. It always does for me.

For me it's trial and error/experimenting with sound. I guess I just make music that pleases me or it's something I would want to listen too. I'm always looking to top my previous work. I probably have OCD when it comes to production/writing because I'm a total perfectionist in that aspect. Inspiration varies for me but I usually get inspired after listening to Jaga Jazzist, Animals as Leaders, Amon Tobin, Amogh Symphony, Freddy todd, flying lotus, burial, nujabes, dorian concept, reso etc. Anything can be inspiration.

I usually get inspired by music that I really really like. I hear it and I say "I want to do that, but me". I guess this is because it expresses something that I'm feeling/hearing? As far as why I actually sit down and work on tunes ever... making music that I like is one of the most fulfilling things I do. I think this has something to do with the circumstances around when I started to make music. It was something I chose for myself, so it became a part of my identity.

because a good tune feels better than sex, better than drugs, better than anything in this world, maybe i'm just a hedonist but what else am i supposed to do with my life but submerse myself even further into the bliss by channeling it...?

Music is a portal and catalyst to other realms of mind.
There are infinite worlds to explore in music and we have all only scratched the surface.
This is what motivates and inspires me.
Mind. pure and simple. Once probed, it demands expression.
