Muse wanted

[MyViolentMachine]

I need a muse. Or something..

/rant

I've sat down in front of the computer every night this week becuase I want to get my music creation flowing again but it is just not working. Things sound ok for a moment and then...they sound like shit.

/end rant

I need a muse or advise from fellow creators of music or any art really on how to get out of the rut (Its been years and much $$, more time is not the answer)

A muse isnt necessarily the answer, either. Sometimes they can be unreliable.

If they're not being useful for creative purposes, there's always other stuff to do with them...

I'd like one too, please.

I deny everything and know nothing..

Besides, we all know the Muse doesn't get involved, we just inspire..

But to be more on topic, I just think of something that completely inspires me... (in the moment inspiration).

If it's a person, I try to pick apart what it is about that person that makes me feel as strong as I do... Or if it's a thing I like to do, I try to figure out WHY that thing inspires me to continue to do it.

OR if I hate something.. why does it provoke such negatively strong emotions in me?..

When looking for a muse, I try to go to the extremes.. extract the feelings..

I know sounds a bit scientific and not necessarily artistic doesn't it?

It's probably why I suck at creating anything. :(
