I think there are times in everyone's life there are times
when we feel stuck, like we can't move forward and grow. It takes something outside of ourselves to
break things loose, to change our perspective and position so we can learn new
things. Such has the case been for me
recently. I felt like I was completely
stuck in music, playing the same things I used to play in high school 15 years
ago on the guitar, not having very many people to get together with and jam,
and knowing the whole time that I would never improve until something pushed
me.
These past few years have been quite a change for me. I encountered some music that is a lot
different than anything I listened to before, and I've started playing
different instruments. Though my wife
and I joke that I'm sometimes "Conga Crazy", it has been exactly what
I needed to improve, progress, and break the cycle and boredom of doing the
same thing over and over. As is usually
the case, my journey began by listening, hearing something that I think is
awesome, and finding inspiration in the audio.
Over the next few days I hope to explore the sounds that I've found, and
post some links on my timeline.
