Brain Break

Posted by Tyguy80s - March 25th, 2018


Hello again. For those who happen to follow the YouTube channel, you may've noticed that I haven't posted the typically daily music writing fun time episodes for a couple days. Nothing bad happened, I simply wasn't very inspired by the ideas I wasn writing down. Still pretty musically active, and I want to keep writing, but it seems I was running my brain into writer's block continuously.

 

I took a couple days off, while I pondered what to write about. After all, I did write a solo viola project and a piano etude, and haven't really taken a break from songwriting since I start about 7 or so months ago. I still have my plans for what's to come, just that I need to consider what I want to write for and about. Musically speaking, I've been absorbed by the clarinet and bass clarinet and reeding (reed pun) all about the instrument and studying it's repetoire. Looking up different mouthpieces, exploring the Backun Products website, looking up what clarinet I'd like to buy, things of that nature.

 

In short, practicing and a lack of inspiration and direction in my songwriting. I'm sure right after this blog, I just might have a songwriting idea that'll hit me harder than oncoming traffic. Anyways, thanks for reading. I'll get back to work :)

You re nice one! Creative block will be past.

Thanks Pecheneg. As a matter of fact, I'm about to upload a new Music-Writing Fun Time episode the next hour and hopefully that'll get the ball rolling again. It just seemed like for the first time I actually didn't want to write music and I wasn't what what to express exactly.
