madrigal30: musical inspirations n shit

madrigal30 11.15.19	talk to me, how do you write songs
osmark86 11.15.19	whenever I feel inspired be it by something I've heard, seen, read about. could be a scene from a movie or something interesting from conversation. I dunno man, inspiration is such a fleeting thing and you never really know when it's going to whack you in the head.
madrigal30 11.15.19	^^ for real. last night my friend and i were talking about bureaucracy and that inspired a song but its hard to drop everything and just Write soemtimes
JohnnyoftheWell 11.15.19	Lots of vibes (and things I need to check) in this list, but osmark knows it I guess the second Crystal Castles album, Melt-Banana's Cell Scape and Yuki Kajiura's OST for the Kara no Kyoukai movies are my biggest touchstones for now as far as writing/production go
madrigal30 11.15.19	really interesting influences Johnny i'd love to hear yr music!
SmallMess 11.15.19	I mostly see songwriting as building: slap riff 1 and riff 2 together, and you've got a functional base, then keep adding shit until it feels complete. If you don't get sick of an instrumental over the course of a month, you've done good. Writing lyrics is harder for me though, because I usually listen more to the music and not to the words. My inspirations are also albums by bands that know their way about a riff: Beyond by Dinosaur Jr., Fantastic Planet by Failure, Alice In Chains' self-titled album, some Pixies and Frank Black stuff. Really envy people who get inspiration from something other than music itself, because the creative process sometimes feels like cannibalism.
