Q: so, after like 5 years of doing  absolutely nothing, i might finally be brave enough to start creating music. but how do i know what kind of music i want to create? i have no clear vision or goal in my mind. i have feelings i would like to express, but i don't know how my feelings "sound" yet. i have a digital piano and a mixing software and i'm still going nowhere... HOW DO I START MOVING
A: here's a trick that might get you through this..... try caring about what kind of words you say and when. in otherwords, try writing the material before you set foot in the production environment. after all, this is what's done with almost all movies, tv shows, and probably most songs also. all of my songs are written before they are produced. it's similar to making the blueprint of a house before building the house. starting in the production environment with no song written reminds me of showing up to a house construction site with no blueprint for the house. it took a couple of years for this realization to occur to me, but i was much much happier when it did
