i get what you’re saying. i struggle with this feeling myself. honestly, the only thing that separates the artists who establish themselves and those that treat it like a day at the skate park is just how crazy they are. the more unhinged the more willing they are to essentially push themselves into a state of delusional grandeur. sounds corny as hell but believing in yourself (which can be construed as deluding yourself, just depends on the outcome) and that you’re the hot shit that has what it takes to go somewhere and impose that feeling on others is the great separator. it takes ego. or a shit ton of luck but those are the exception not the rule.
Yes thats definitely a point. I think I was there at some point and deliverd a few hits locally and that was a pretty long period that had just that one goal. Not as extreme though as that wasn´t necessary at that time :D
I agree that the core motivation is how you identify with your music and if you live in it and know not much else that pushes you into the extremes. What I also noticed yesterday was definetly inspiration. Not only tutorials and books for knowledge but real live, non music drama and moments that act as a unimagined source for it. Like emotional material and soul battery power that gets the spark lit again. I forgot that a little and thought you can make great art while living in a white room with nothing else happening. You cant. Music is transformed energy from somewhere.
