You're right to s...It's an interesting one. You're right to say we are more receptive to what rally grabs us, when we're not actively "listening" - as with something jumping out from the radio; it's an effective filter, and we only start really listening in an analytical way at a later stage - if at all.It's clear that some people can't really anylise music they enjoy-they just know what they like. <br />A song-writer/composer needs, at the same time to see the components of his work, whilst having that distance that allows him to "hear" his work afresh. This is your "making a cuppa" moment. I would suggest another way is to put a day or 3 or (much)more between yourself and your music (recording/draft), and then come back to it. What do you think about the genious composer who apparently "hears" the music as he writes (was Mozart, for example such a one?) and so is truly doing both at once? Is this, in fact a case of the brain being unconsciously, actively productive faster than the composer can think, or is there still room left for true inspiration? (I'd like to think there is such a thing :-) )nevellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03341255941107842562noreply@blogger.com
