Been waking up at 3ish the past couple days. The first night I was awakened with this interesting melody. It was complex and I'm still working on stitching it together. The cool thing is it got me back to writing music the way I used to. I had gotten lazy using the sequencers to create rather than actually playing stuff. I had to write this down and analyze it before I could even record it. I felt like a real musician again. Nice to be back here and I'm staying. It's easy to get lazy on keys when all you have to do is load what you're thinking into a sequencer and run with it. I know that's the way that most everybody works these days, but I'm actually a musician and I like playing. I just don't like having the computers control my creativity. Generally when I write stuff, I do so with the intention of having musicians come in and replay what I've done. To me music is a living entity and it has to change and grow just like any living thing. I mean it has power. And how could it have power if it's not alive? How else could David chase away demons by playing with his hand - if the music didn't have power. Yes, I know the anointing was on David. But music is so powerful that it can transport you back to first moment you heard a particular song. You remember the sights, the smells, who you were with and what you were feeling. All of that created by a song. To me, the music is a vessel and a vehicle. It's the vessel that I can put ink anything that's in my spirit. And its the vehicle that I can use to transport you anywhere in the world or beyond. My goal is to fill the vessel with the word and the love of God. And use the vehicle to take US straight to his presence.
