Im just starting out in learning audio production, so my knowledge on how to produce music via electronics is rather limited, but that hasnt kept me from trying to write music. My problem lies in two places:
1. Everything i create seems to be in some way related to music i listen to, kinda like a variation on a famililar theme.
2. If i do create anything original, no matter how complex it is, it chords always breaks down into I - V, or I - Vii, or I - ii - III. Its the most incredibly frustrating block.
Its strange though cause i know somewhere in the back of my mind that i have it in me to create original pieces, which brings me to my second question:
If artists are intrinsically talented in writing original music, why are bands like radiohead, boards of canada, four tet, 30-40yrs old before they release anything truely artistic? shouldnt they be able to any time in their life? Or does the psyche go through some transformation around that age which heightens creativity?
has anyone else experienced this block that has worked through it? i would like to know what it is i need to do to overcome it.
thanks.
