i am very sensitive to SOUND more so now than ever.. for some reason i can easily hear what harmonizes to one another. i don't sit down with pen and paper and write notes (although) i can read music. i can tell immediately what is cohesive, what is uplifting. i have to record my first attempts at songwriting for usually it is the best attempt. trust your first instinct. if i watch a program on tv with background soundtrack and hear dissonance, i have to mute the sound. it is grating to my ears and state of mind. though i write music myself i don't listen very much to it  in general. mostly classical music that i practice on my own time. it is as if each composition is a new formation, formulation, a new recipe, a new experiment, a new drawing, art piece. a flash of inspiring light. meticulous execution. sound is powerful.
