.02$ I've always centered what felt like a complete work based around the medium it was gonna be released or the resources at hand to record it. Who is paying to record it: Me? a label?Where is it giong to be recorded:My house a studio etc?
Smaller chunks of music are easier to give aesthetic consistency to, and can be freeing over a long term-I dont feel like i have to put every idea i have into a release. I just pick a few of the strongest ideas and develop them with nuance, the leftovers can then released as bonus material,reworked or just buried. When i think of my music as a buzz in the din of digital releases it depresses the shit out of me. I dont write anything unless i can imagine it being heard/performed live
or as a physical entity.

oh hell yes! cover is sooper sweet. come back to nashyburg soon good sir. *-*

im actually looking for something in this vein-also looking at boss dr. 202, which seems pretty comparable. anyone have any insights on the better choice? price on this is quite enticing mr. maynard.

lolz i wonder what adorno would think of the nostalgia aspect of chipmusic vs the futurism leanings of the timbres.....

all dis tread...this iz why i quit teh inernetz  but cant quit, all the arbitrary lines in the sand and the waves keep coming yea?, thats wat 4mats getting at?

ha thats assuming you own a computer to run said equipment, trust me- in this case, it is not the attitude of the producer, i have had a set up worth less than 1500 for ten years or so(instrument recording equip and all), i've done quite a lot with that mostly non-chip 15 albums or so of material, after a series of events my total set up is now worth about 300, there is quite a bit i've lost the ability to do. especially record at all. as for time, 4-6 hours of free time a day? lolz. full time job full time school family and domestic duties-an hour or so a day is mine-and yes i spend it on music and i know all about the 10,000 hour rule-which is what has kept me going,  but whatevs...i said those things are temporary hurdles that can make you more creative until they're overcome.....back to lurking it is

edit: i didnt make it clear in my post, that those are my problems now specifically-it reads like i mean for musicians in general...my bad for lack of clarity.

jah of course, though the reasons change-the problem these days is limited resources for gear and time to compose. once it was limited knowledge musically. both of those can be overcome-lack of money for gear can be frustrating especially since a wish list will pile up-but the limitations really force you think about why said gear is important..and you might just figure out a new way to create the sounds you want, which is super cool. lack of musical training is relative and equally intimidating(especially since it can be a bit fetishy and one upish)-you only need to learn how to make the sounds in your head, trained technique can open you up to sounds not in your head, which has some merit-but then again so can listening to all kinds of music.
i think a third disconnect is the most frustrating, when the music you want to make is being made better by someone else already..no amount of external influence can solve that, it becomes an existential question with no right or wrong.
