1.1) How can I get inspired? (Music composition)


From Nathan Torkington <gnat@kauri.vuw.ac.nz>:

- other music. Listen to things that seem incomplete to you, and
try and arrange it how it should have sounded.

- theory exercises. Play with some exercises in theory, and maybe
something that is pleasant will jump out at you.
