I sat down to play.
No rules, no direction.
Two effect boxes.
Hologram Chroma Console
Hologram Microcosm.
Still bopping around 65 BPM, i fell into this,,, this,,
Any colour you like.
Off the dark side of the moon…
I fell into this “bop” of Dminor-Gminor-
Liked how it felt,
Layered a simple bass, mostly a pulse…
Then I hit the fuzz and the vibrato and the reel2reel emulator…
Sounding very 60’s..
Hit this run I liked, taped 16 bars…reinserted the rap samples..
Probably spentttttttt,,,,,
45 minutes on it..
Just dabbling..
Letting the lead line flow, getting it all out of your system..
I let myself overplay..
Get all that bullshit out,, get as obnoxious as you want…give yourself five or ten minutes of it…
Then return..
You’re more likely to fall into a melody or a rhythmic pattern ..
And I did..
And when i was finished, the Clip sounded like “any colour you like”…with Wu-tang over it..
It was, how you say.. enjoyable…
And earlier I was thinking about smart people being depressed, and I was watching the groups of people at work and how they navigate their game…
Then i played.
And that shit was gone.
Frustration and stress and misery ..all that shit..
Poof.
Good for you, good for me.
Felt good to hit those blues licks..
And i saw news stories and freak-outs and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..
And it’s all the same.’
You would steal my life, if I let you.
You would take my very enjoyment of being alive..
You’re a fucking dick, of course you would…
But you can’t reach me in the headphones.
And everything is gravy..
