Do it the genius way.
Having trouble with inspiration? Bass line; what to do, what to do!?
Your not the first.
Casper Project, one day whilst absolutely flummexed regarding the placement of a synth stab, transfered the problem sample on to a floppy which he then fastened into the harness of his trusted dove. He then released his dove which flew up to the summit of the nearest hill. Its a practice Casper has since adopted for most of his music prodution problems, he will walk bear-footed up to the top of the hill and apprehend the sample, this time with a solution. And Casper isn't the first DTer to use unique methods to help solve musicianship issues.
Of course we've all heard the legendary tale; the time Influx couldn't decide on which effect he should use, its since become known as 'The great Flange dilemma'. Unsure whether or not to use a wah wah effect, he went missing and the police were called. Two days later amongst an eager crowd of spectators, fans and mere well-wishers, Influx was found stood in the town square staring above at the sky. Unknown to family and police, news had quickly spread through town that Influx, after leaving his home for a walk to try and solve his effect puzzle, had simply decided to stop in the town square and stay there untill he decided what to do. The relieved cheif policeman at the scene simply gave Influx a knowing smile and reported back to his family "safe and well"! He stayed stood at the spot in deep thought for three more days, before, at 3pm on Friday, offered a prayer to the Sun and returned home to use the Fange effect.
Snare hit or hand clap?? Yes, we've all had to through that little dilemma haven't we? Well laugh if you like, but spare a thought for xoxos. In his smoking jacket, xoxos would pace back and forth in front of the fire place for hours on end, scratching his head, muttering to himself and cursing all who entered the room. He'd continue untill the matter was resolved and then announce to his family his intentions. Although it has to be said his wife wasn't best pleased! You see, during his mind-fight he had paced back and forth so much that he had quite literally worn out a hole in the carpet. But, true to xoxos genius form, he quite brilliantly quipped "accuse me you might, but tell me wife, what is a carpet?" before waving his embarrassed wife off to tend to the kitchen and settling down to eat a butty.
