time out of mind your time

Another week of thinking about making some music, then not getting around to it until the weekend. Thinking about it is good though. Thinking about any creative pursuit is positive and inspiring. It beats doom-scrolling, as we probably all know. Nice to look forward to a new adventure in creating something each week.
A little ironic that when I finally sit down to make music on Saturday that instead of working on one of the ideas I thought about all week, I see a random sticky note and follow that to make whatever comes to me in the moment. All the thinking probably helps open the creative mind to capture whatever new ideas show up.
The sticky note on my desk said: Bauhaus Dub She's in Parties.That seemed like a fun place to start, so that's where I started. Part of me wanted to make a remix / edit of that song, to maybe use in a DJ set or something, but not for a WB song. So I pulled a few samples, chopped and edited to be something different. Mostly used bass sound, then just had fun adding and adding, mostly Ableton sounds playing on the Push, sampling some more ... then adding more, and more. Too much?
Hard to stop adding more and flip into editor mode. The process was a good reminder that I'm a maximalist and I like the creation phase. I like the edit phase too, but with all the sound I end up creating, it can be hard to edit down. I find it's best when I can let something sit for a week or two and come back and edit. That's hard to do with WB. I may try to do the rotating weeks again. Create the piles of sound one week, then edit it after it's settled for a while.
I enjoyed making this and listening to it (at least today). So that's good. We'll see how it sounds tomorrow. I look forward to maybe doing another edit after a few days or weeks.
Always great hearing everyone's music here. Provides a lot if inspiration. So, thanks for that!
