Granted For

I started today playing around with my contribution to the Disquiet Junto collaboration project I'll be submitting a couple tracks for tomorrow. I realized I wasn't feeling that excited. There's that feeling you want when creating music you know? Kinda magic. If it's not there, then things feel more like work. The collab track I was doing was slower, mellower. Very nice, just not fitting my mood this afternoon. So I kept just a small chopped guitar sample of the track and a lot of the sounds (like live drums, djembe, shekere, keys) I was adding to it. I sped things up from 72 to 103 bpm and started over. Then I started to get *that feeling* and was having the funday Sunday tune day I wanted. I think I can go back to the collab with some fresh inspiration now too.
I was thinking about not taking things for granted. Granting the musical practice this week in gratitude of weekly music making and the opportunity to hang out in and be inspired by some awesome music communities like Weekly Beats.
