I sit at my keyboard and do (often terrible) jazz covers of everything. For example, a bebop cover of "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" turned into my album project.

But I promise it doesn't sound like Skrillex.

I'll just audition sounds, patches and settings, sometimes even effects chains to see if I can discover some new sound that inspires me. I try not to rely on loops too much, but I'm really stuck I'll audition some loops and see if I can't at least become inspired by them. Sometimes a single loop can inspire me to create a whole tune around it.

I go on a long hike into the forest without listening to any other music, only the sounds of nature. Then when I find a secluded area, preferably something overlooking a cliff, I turn my GB on and just see what I can make. Did this yesterday and got some really nasty results.

I listen to Pinkerton by weezer.
Cry myself in a corner.
And start fresh with an empty .sav.

I keep doing it even if I hate it with every fibre of my being. I am the 53%.
