do you guys ever play music to get yourselves going? what do you play?
I am so stressed out right now. 50% assignment due tomorrow (3000 words), and another, 70% assignment due next week (4500 words). I handed in my screenplay (6000 words) last friday. I am just in the thick of it and I have writer's block. So here I am trying to crack into writing mode. This current assignment is for a core paper that I would have never taken. So it's hard to just bust it out unless I hit the 'zone'.
I'm also playing organ for a church service this Sunday, so have a five hymns, an anthem, an introit & music for before and after (when people are walking in and out), and music to play while the offering is being taken up. Somebody mentioned to me a while ago unlocking creative energy by engaging in something creative unrelated to the task you're working on, so I tried practising the hymns; nothing. Then I ended up just playing for myself, and made up a song with no words and just played that for a while. I feel better, but still nothing. Help. Last week when working on my screenplay I listened to (oddly) placebo unplugged and bach, but that's just not doing it for me this week. It's an essay on an aspect of local literature and literary culture, so I can't listen to anything with words, it just distracts me. Aggghhhh musicians please help me tl;dr #vixblog #over100words |

Your Q is a bit unclear to me. By "play" music do u mean listen or perform music on an instrument?
If the former, try the title track from Pantera's "The Great Southern Trendkill," played as loudly as you can tolerate. I am not a Pantera fan, but this song never fails to energize me, or at least to "cleanse the mental palate." If the latter, I find playing things that are seemingly atonal or dissonant, then trying to work them into some kind of coherent melody, is a good exercise for clearing stagnation Good luck |

I was pretty vague. Sorry about that. Actually though, I meant either/or - I think it's a similar process/practice, whether you play an instrument or listen to music.
Today, the Trout Quintet is working, so that's good. That, and silence. English literature is death, btw. |

i (used to) improvise over music a LOT.
just put on some songs and solo over them for hours. i think at some point it got counterproductive, cause it just made me listen to the same songs at some point and get stuck in a rut improv wise - but for better or worse, it's what got me my soloing skills. fucking around with a lot of different tunings lately has been a pretty significant source of inspiration. i also want to rip off some shoegaze bands sometime soon. |

Dadrock is used specifically for rock you personally find tame, inoffensive, not challenging not literally something that was released when your Dad was in high school I hate to explain the joke though
