Good music seems to happen when I’m not looking.

I was up in the studio at Vic last night. I’d spent a couple of hours working on a couple of tracks, then about 9:30pm, decided it was almost time to go home after this last little experiment.

Then something happened and time kind of disappeared, and before I knew what was going on it sounded just amazing. Funny how often this happens. Making music that I’m happy with seems to involve dropping out of consciousness for a while, letting the music come through. There’s a lot of talk in musical circles about it coming ‘from somewhere else’ and I think this might be what they’re talking about.

The new Exposure magazine is interesting. Fun seeing how musicians that I like do interviews that I find interesting, and musicians that I don’t really like do interviews that I don’t find that interesting. Lala…
