moves of evasion vs. commitment to a direction

pass the sick bucket
ive only ever read two critics in my life Simon Reynolds and Kodwo Eshun but that was only to validate my opinions on music not the other way around. Oh and Neil Kullkarni, even though I don't give a shit about the music he writes about he is the best writer of coventry hands down. All that Tom Ewing, Clair Lobenfeld, Mark Richardson, Philip Sherburne etc are horrendous and boring. Let's not get too carried away we are sexually repressed professionals after all. Rudyard Kipling and tea, let's regurgitate the press releases we are mailed, and then call it social context even though we are never accepted as true participants in the scenes we write about.

There has to be a sense of music as the most important thing in the world and the most intense and electrifying experience. The sense that it all matters, life and death, vital signs of the health or sickness of humanity itself

i think what makes it easier to commit properly without losing the scope (and still in a tasteful manner) is to do so in a naive way, that comes especially with being a novice.
You sidestep, not out of your own will, but because ie. you lack fluency with the equipment used.
As that easily leads to the "new effect pedal every three weeks" model, perhaps constraining yourself within your own setup could be an alternative.
Make a tune using two strings both tuned to the same sound with a 10 cent difference.
