but there's a different between having "composer's block" / whipping up some wankcakes and actually releasing the stuff. i do know about that zone you speak of--when things are on a roll. personally i dont track anything when i'm not in the mood to get something good done. well sometimes i do but i never finish it if i know it's starting to turn to shitlo.. most people pick from loads (even a ton, in afx's case, so he says) of tracks they are satisfied with to make an album or an EP.. i don't think autechre would release something they don't believe they put 100.0% effort into (grammar...bad.. lazy). bye chris --- Tom Millar <xxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxxx.xxx.xxx> wrote: > I think that artists often "lose the plot" from one piece of work to the > next. > I know I do- I'll be in a zone one day or one weekend and make some > fascinating shit, then later I can't seem to find the hole in my ass > much less a worthwhile sound/pattern. > I can also very easily see this happening on an album-to-album basis, > knowing the way a lot of people work.
