What do you want to be?

I wanna be a billionaire!

Because money can by happiness and shit!

I want to create with freedom, not worrying how it fits into a song or idea.

Around 2008, I started a practice of free improvisation -alone, with a trio or with strangers. It consisted in 1-2 hours sessions of continuous musical creation. No codes to comply with, neither in esthetics not structure. An encounter. The moment. Kairos.

It basically made me more confident about one fact: I can have ideas and it’s not a problem if a good idea does not end into a good song.

There is very few material left from this period but what I know is that it is the period I progressed the most in my general musical practice. Technically?.. Well, not that much, but mentally, fore sure.

A better thing is to do in stead of want.

What are you ?
What are you improving?
What are you starting?

I am letting go of this thing that pushes me to create a certain type of techno rather than anything that comes naturally and flows out of me.

Already started a few months back. And it has been both difficult and super easy. Difficult because I feel like playing techno live is really a great thing to do but it simply is not the only thing i can focus on as it makes me feel quite insecure for some reason. Super easy because I don’t have to think about the direction I have to create something in. I can just be the artist free of any boundaries.

Huge question, but I’ll stick to music-related and not existentialism.

As much as I really enjoy electronic music, and devices and the flow of things when I’m disciplined and not procrastinating (I like that from some comment above as being what GAS can be for some, and I definitely can fall into that category). It’s such a cool-vibe when I just sit back and DO things, and quite rewarding.

But despite of that what I really want to be is:
The trumpet player I used to be. That covers just about every base regarding getting better in ‘the studio’ (lol) and personal lifestyle choices. So… THIS: the trumpet player I used to be (and it’s not that hard; just takes time and discipline and ‘boundaries’)

And then it gets existential.

No, no
Lol

It’s been a LONG time since I was at my best
But I’d love to get the that capability

At one point I could do what’s at the end of this track, and that’s the goal again:

already am what I am…and I wouldn’t have it any other way…

PentalagusMusic · 2023-12-07T00:42:36.238Z

I want to be a fire truck.

PentalagusMusic · 2023-12-07T00:43:44.942Z

I do wish I could devote more of my time to making music instead of working. But I’ve got a family.

This is super cool. I absolutely love this style. I would love to collaborate if this is something you are interested in. It sounds like a big chunk of the music I have in my cassette collection.

A good father.
A good teacher.
A good friend.
A good husband.
A dancing queen.

i think wanting something for more than a few minutes is counter productive.
either one moves from desire to actions, or wants for years, sometimes decades, but it does not happen by itself (who’d have thought?!).

so, currently i’m becoming an NLP trainer.

PS. dreaming about something is also an action when done the right way.
