Musician's Block

Subject: Musician's Block 2008-05-30, 23:35

..Anyone know how to get over it? I've been working on a piece for two months , I'm over halfway through composing it for the piano & flute but I'm having trouble thinking of any stuff to go with it. For the last month and a half I've been teaching myself insane jazz riffs out of boredom... (I'm a piano play, also into guitar as of this year)

BTW, this is my first post.. I'm Matt, I just got into TC today.

Yo Matt, just wondering what you're using to create the pieces.

As per the block, stay away from listening to the genre of music the piece you're writing is.

Some good stuff to look into for Inspiration:

Circus Maximus
Dream Theater
Onoken
Tiesto
Coheed and Cambria
Metallica
Angels and Airwaves
Dillinger Escape Plan
The Mars Volta
Gladiator Soundtrack
Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band
Thievery Corporation
Queen
Pendulum
Black Sabbath

It's a pretty decent mix of stuff in a very wide range.

Look into them and see what you like.

I'll upload these and more for you later today. For now though, sleep.

Tsu Black Sabbath fails. The only good one I like from that list is Metallica.

Subject: Re: Musician's Block 2008-05-31, 15:26

Just curious. How many of those have you heard?

Subject: Re: Musician's Block 2008-05-31, 15:31

Four from your list. I hate 3 but love 1.

Well, he said that he was making a song where the piano and flute are done, I don't know anything in there that could be of any help in this case.

BTW, I love Coheed and Cambria. <3

Haha,
I'm using Finale PrintMusic 07(08????) to compose it.. I don't use anything like Fruityloops or the likes.
Thanks for the advice, I hope to get a bit more into the piece soon.

By the way, Metal really can mix with anything.. Especially classical music.
