Ah yes, the overnight hours. Luv the 1-5am time slot. Peaceful, quiet and dark. Wouldn't have it any other way.Gorilla wrote:Hi all, I am currious to know if I am the only (Bedroom,Home Studio Artist) who stays up during light nights and early mornings playing, tweaking and messing around with his/her recording equipment.

Oh no, oh no no no no no! Don't tell me this, I'm just heading into my final year doing architecture and recently i've become even more addicted than ever to writing music into the small hours. Thats the thing, as an architecture student you're meant to stay up till 5 anyway, but as a synth addict this means i'll be staying up till probably 9 a.m!!!Kerzwhile wrote:Yeah its deff. a curse we all share! I actually dropped out of Ohio State with only a year and a half to go before I got my degree in Architecture because I would stay up all night and cut class because I was inspired. Now 15 years later I am a manager of a Music store!! Yippy! Only if.....![]()
Giner, Thanks for putting a scientific twist to this madness. Thanks to all for your support. I guess I can save the next visit to my Shrink.There is such a thing as an "Alpha" state in the mind that fires up creativity, or creativity comes to the forefront when the mind is in that state. Whichever.The Alpha state is in that hazy area between sleep and waking where the mind comes up with all sorts of wonderful ideas but we're usually too jaded or cognisant enough to commit them to paper or 'tape', even though the ideas are crystal clear at the originating moment. So a lot of what's created is never captured - such a shame. I think musicians are imbued with a healthy dose of 'Alpha state', perhaps because we are of a creative nature in the first place.
