I've been thinking about this for a while now. One day as an aspiring musician, I highly intend on creating my own album once I feel like I am at the skill level necessary to do so to the standards I hold for myself. I always thought it would be bad ass to have a full album on youtube and on DVD that had an entire anime with its own storyline following the mood and atmosphere of each song (I really like the style of anime, it's such an interesting and beautiful form of art). Hopefully one day I have the resources necessary to at least make an album on my own, and if I'm lucky maybe have enough money to invest in paying some animators to make this a reality. Or also some really cool psychedelic stuff would be awesome as well, similar to Tool in a way. Either way, I'd like it to be ambiguous and open to interpretation. I strongly believe that's how art is meant to be; not having any one opinion being wrong or right, but every perspective being valid and something to consider at the least. And when I say art, I don't mean just music or painting or drawing. Really I think anything creative is a form of art. Creativity and free thought is what makes us human.
Just do it. There won't be a day where you say to yourself "Hey, I'm ready to make this album"
That day doesn't exist because you will always feel like you can get better, and your standards for yourself will always increase as you become more skilled.
Start writing now, and take what you wrote to heart -
"not having any one opinion being wrong or right"
that means even YOUR opinions should be thrown out the window.
Start now!

I have a bunch of stuff written, but most of it goes towards the band that I'm in. I'm the main writer so a lot of my creativity is poured into that and not much is left afterwards as far as writing my own original stuff. And don't take this as me making excuses because I know one day I am going to make it happen, I just need the skill to be able to play the more difficult shred type stuff I try to write and the money to go into a studio and make it a reality. I'll always be pushing myself and never be completely satisfied, but there will be a day when I know that I am at the skill level I need to play the stuff in my head. The best thing I can do right now is practice and work hard (which I'm doing every day) and save up money. That's the funny thing about being a musician, you're chasing something that you will never achieve and I've acknowledged this reality a while ago

Right on, well you've gained a follower, friend.
It is actually quite funny, to realize the light at the end of the tunnel will always just be that.. the light at the end of the tunnel.
Truly arriving is when you've let go of expectations, but that's so boring!

Glad to hear :) And nothing drives you more than knowing that you can always be better than what you already are
