Entry: Art is hard Tuesday, July 26, 2005



Man.. making music is hard.  I mean.. I can have some creative thing in my head.. and I get it down.. and its like maybe 3 measures... then I usually can get about 8. I got about 15 this time.. and other I got is about 6... and thats it.  I have tons of scraps of music laying around. A little piece here and there. But its all different and can't fit together. And I can't expand what I'm doing.. I get an idea and thats it... I can't continue it. It gets boring and repitive.. or I can't find chords or something. Last night I was up until about 2am on the piano.. I decided not to do that tonight because I am tired.. so I stopped at 1240.  When you think about it.. listen to a piece of music... and think... hey.. that doesnt sound too hard. Just get a melody.. maybe some harmonies and cross melodys and your set. Gets some chords and wa-la!!!  Not that simple.  I relish Bryans talents (even though its mostly chord patterns.. but it sounds really impressive).. but I don't even have that. I have basic music skills.. I can plunk a few lines.. then I can write it down. Then it just looks like notes that go nowhere.. start nowhere... end nowhere. But it sounds cool :)


FYI: "Art is hard".. thats cursive in case you didn't (and I know you didn't) catch it  :P
