Some things We like to do For Inspiration

take drugs

I've found that if I actually go out to a party that is playing the style(s) I like, and hearing them loud is always good for me. I find this to really get my inspiration going (although I don't get out much, so this probably won't work if you are a weekly punter).

If all else fails, furiously masturbating is the next thing I look to (looks like I'm not the only one on the board who gets divine inspiration this way).... But my carpal tunnel is acting up, so I can't do that much anymore...

yeah i love this one

unplug laptop (if youre working with one) from all external hardware, controllers etc. go somewhere else, living room will do, but the coffee house downstairs is also an option, launch live and compose.

i used to work years just drawing notes on the piano roll without any external controllers. it wasnt always necessarily a bad thing.

this is very good too, we have so much shit connected to our computers it's so liberating when it's just the computer, I know alot of trakkerers that feel that one

yep, reading and watching futuristic/oddworld storys is great for
ideas popping up. What also inspires me is to walk outside in the night,
listen to inspiring music. Sitting down at places i like, watch my surrounding
trying to be as sensitive as possible. Herbals going great with that.

Lately i listened to the new Onra Album over and over again - f*ckin inspiring stuff.
Sat down, started the Beta and gone wild at 80 BPM spaced out beats....great time.
