Ask Me: dencoartist

[greatbear]

That cutie dencoartist inquired “If you could parlay your mechanical/construction/demolition talents from that same level of ability into a different genre altogether, what would it be?”

I think it would be making music. I am a (very) frustrated musician. No matter which instruments I have played over the years, I never reached any sort of competence that I was satisfied with. I can make a ton of music in my head, but making it a physical reality was always a mental stumbling block. I have perfect pitch but in comparison I could not carry a tune if it had a handle on it. I can make the sounds, but it’s always lacking to me. Hence it has been a tinkering sort of hobby for me throughout the years and a bit less more recently.

I've been trying to develop my own sort of capture mode but... I think I'm too ADD or something. Every time I sit down about 10 more ideas pop out and only few of them vaguely related to what I wanted to capture. :/

Well I actually would love to hear a piece of ADD music. Maybe that's what Jazz is about...

In the design field, there are conceptualists and craftmen. Sounds like you two are both good at coming up with a concept but don't have the patience to craft and tweak it. There are so many people out there who don't have songs in their heads but if you give them a concept, or a segment of music, they could craft out the most beautiful piece... maybe a partnership?
