My first post, and probably something that's been asked millions of times.
Still, I've just finished producing a wee album and am in the middle of my own band's.
Loads of songs already written for the project.
However, recently all I can do is sit at the computer and watch DVD's each time i try and think of a tune, plonk on the piano. Nothing comes and anything that does, ends up sounding like the worst pap ever. I can't even be bothered to do some work on the stuff we already have. It's almost like i didn't write these songs, no longer like them and have no idea with what to do with them.
I've even taken to singing nonsense - great stuff about the street outside the studio..ya know.
Anybody got any tips about how to get the juices flowing again, I've got a great new piece of recording software and have set up my studio in a new way with loads of room and a far more ergonomic space to work from. Just when everythings optimal my head and heart take a holiday.
Any tips folks..or do i just sit waiting for the muse to strike..
All the best,
