_productive ~ creative_
productive creativity, it has been said, is in knowing when to stop working on something and let it sit for a while. once again, i have stepped away from the project i went to NYC to record. i am completely overwhelmed by the amount of work that is still required to get everything to feel like i want it to feel.
may is metal month on vh1 and have been watching a lot of the documentaries on the early hard rock bands that shape my early influences: cream, led zepplin, et cetera. i could go on and on listing bands. i have been playing acoustic and venturing more on the side of early rock/blues. there is something very ominous in the blues progressions. mars volta continually comes to mind when i think of modern blues for some reason.
i recently stumbled onto the title of the next cynic theory project. the material for the cynic theory is coming along a lot more naturally than any of my other projects because it is a bit more familiar territory.the idea of finishing the material i set aside for this project was not something i had intended on undertaking anytime soon, but, after finishing the book age of innocence by edith wharton, i feel compelled to do so. “wishyouwereher” is the title and it will explore the themes that have eluded me for years: self-doubt, misconceptions, and naiveté to name a few.
the last year has been very hard for me and i assume things will start to get a little easier. more later_
