Q: I have trouble making original music because everything I make sounds close to something I've heard before.
A: in that case, you should go way out of your way to make something you are sure no one has ever heard before, and just for a moment don't even think about whether it's "good" or "not", and then have the following moments carry on like a sort of group panel discussion about what the hell anyone thinks just happened. should be very interesting and grounded discussion, it is at this intersection where the sky meets the ground, that is where the music happens, and it's also where books and movies happen, and how babies get born
