I find that routine produces good music. That might not be the most romantic idea as a recipe for creative expression but it’s the only way I know of making sure that the material keeps coming. Today I woke at 6am and went at it until around midday.

I like to divide my time between coming up with new material, working on completing older, unfinished material and working on production for songs that have been written but not yet brought to life. Production and song completion take a lot longer than coming up with a new idea, so as a result, I have a lot more ideas in the pipelines than I can really handle. But I think that’s a good thing. It’s a long process but over time, a very rewarding one.
