Weird music coincidence

[3DStudent]

Just a little update on this thread. I haven't been playing violin or anything really. I've just been busy and didn't really have time or the will to put into daily routine practicing of an instrument. It just kind of faded away. I'm thinking this was based on anticipation of some results, even though I would enjoy the moments when I played. I think it wasn't spontaneous enough and maybe therefore not creative.

I'm also thinking it was a distraction, and I'm trying not to let any distractions in, but they always seem to come. Like whatever can latch on, but I don't have time for those things. I have, however, taken a glass jar and tapped on it for a few minutes. This is probably more of a creative thing, as I just picked it up with not much intent but to make a beat on it. I can really get into that kind of thing when I'm in the mood. Maybe that's all the creativity I need at the moment, just little quirks like that.

I think that you will perhaps one day understand this thread differently than you might have understood it before or you might understand now.

I think I now understand it differently.

Edit: I was still thinking about the thread and I want to say that I think this had a lot to do with desire or possession. I desired some skill or ability to produce something. It's like when I hear a song I like I want to reproduce it, or possess it for myself. Maybe this isn't a bad thing sometimes, but perhaps I should simply enjoy and experience things, giving them their dues, without wanting to own a part of it.

Ya, maybe :) Just stay open for opportunities to come! And I think you can be creative in anything you (like to) do, maybe you already are, but you haven't noticed it yet. And maybe spreading knowledge or teaching is more something for you to be creative with, who knows.

Fwiw, I can easily understand that. There is definitely nothing "spontaneous and creative" about "daily routine practicing".

Back when I had a violin and an electronic keyboard I absolutely 'hated' playing scales and since I was convinced that was the only way I would ever get good, I lost interest and let it fade away.

When the instruments were stolen from a storage warehouse, I wasn't that messed up about it due to my loss of interest but if I still had them today I would try a different approach and teach myself how to make at least one of the instruments "sing" or "talk" the music I wanted to make.

Have you ever heard Taro Hakase play violin? Dude'll probably make you cry. :)

He was a nice player Bud. I think acoustic violin sounds better than electric, unless it's distorted and sounds just like an electric guitar :P. The stuff that really gets me and that I like is the slower, deep stuff. This is a link to a viola and guitar being played, but it's kind of the style I like:
