43 things

Just found an interesting website.. www.43things.com. S'kinda cool to read other people's opinions on random topics or to find comfort in things you're questioning in life. Even if you don't find the answer it sorta reminds you you're not the only person in the world.

So i'm pretty excited, i've come up with a cool idea for a music project.. and new songs are pouring out of my ears left right and center. Struggling with lyrics as always but musically i got some good things on the way. Only other thing i'm having an issue with though is my tendancy to turn everything i write into a pop song. I'm fighting desperately though to try and write more organic and free-flowing tunes.. which is generally working in my favour but i find adding lyrics defines more structure in the music, giving it more of a pop sound. I'm working on it though... been experimenting with orchestral samples and things which will hopefully take my sound in a different direction. I'm trying to listen to as much different music as i can though.. came across an independent artist called Kelli Rudick.. (experimental.. folk maybe? hear for yourself here) who's guitar style is absolutely mind boggling.. it's really inspired me.

Ah yes so i didn't talk about my music project idea.. well. I don't want to give too much away at the moment as it might not happen.. but it involves a series of CD's and new moosic. ;)
