Harder than anticipated...

I'm finding that when I truly take the time to try and develop new ideas for music - and really get into depth with it, it becomes twice as hard to come up with something that works. I wanted to have jam sessions in which all the new material came out of...but I'm seeing more and more that this method isn't working. Honestly, it's been probably ten years since that method has worked for me. This means getting the pro-tools back out and laying down my ideas bit by bit again...which I was trying to avoid for time-sake - and to try and obtain a product more inspired by the entire band. Either way - things are slow. I can that should be expected with as much time as we've taken off. Bah. I just felt like complaining. Done now.
