Summin Goin On, Tonight

Was thinking about how emotional states influence the musical creations. I find myself creating different sound or making different editing choices based on emotional state at the time. It can yield great, interesting results, or be annoying. I created these chords, and some of the more straight forward beats in a neutral but mellow headspace over winter holiday. Guitar collaborator AM Faulks came and plucked the strings over that. Then this week I was tired and stressed after work and I came and tapped out the beat in the beginning on the Push. Recorded unquantized as usual, and it was messy, kind of drunk (I wasn't really that drunk though). Managed to fit in some bleary eyed guitar part chopping, slicing and sample playing. Then the next night after work, doing some editing, I was also in that kinda lower mood (long week getting back to work after the holiday), so I just kept the mess and tried to make it work. Glad I did, I kinda like it. Finally just improvised some more little bits and pieces and tried by best to make it all work. Every year of Weekly Beats, I get inspired to get a little weird. Great creativity in this community!
