I was on holidays last week end in the south west of France. I went there with record equipment (Nagra LB, Windjamer with handgun with a cardio MBHO inside). I’ve recorded nothing…!
I’ve heard nothing different, nothing who interpellate me except a 200m tyrolean traverse rope but I didn’t have my equipment…
So i’m coming back to work with no raw material. I am a bit frustrated by this result. But it’s not all …
My passion for the sound in general is tired. I no longer composed music, I record sound effects rarely, I don’t fiddle my plug-ins. I’m feeling a bit drained. I try to understand why, but I can’t find. This is not a loss of inspiration, but more the loss of desire. I wonder if this is not the lack of constraints/impositions, or the facts that I don’t work for projects that fascinates me, the fact that I don’t learn with someone passionate. Gradually the sound work became a work before a passion, whereas before it was the opposite.
Do I have to give me more constraints/impositions? Do I have to force myself to record? To compose music?
There is also something that prompts me to discourage me (I think) is that I’m never satisfied. When I record sounds, I always find that it is not good (too much noise, not accurate, we don’t recognize enough, sounds already recorded by other people …). I think I have to learn with someone who knows his work well, or with you through this blog.
That you’re already happened? Have you any advice?
PS; who do you manage the mass of sound blog, twitter timeline, new equipment review, films…. You need to clone you if you want to follow this huge mass of information. I can’t do it anymore and I am doing an overdose!
