Well, maybe I don't even really have rhythm. Bear with me folks. This is going to be a bumpy ride.
Right now I'm knee deep in exploring my new music software (Ableton Live, if you must know), getting a feel for my new guitar (Epihpone Casino, if you must know), and getting some ideas recorded for all the people of earth to cherish (you, if you must know). But creating a tune by myself means learning about something I've never really been a part of: drum beats. Bass drum = thud, snare = snap, hi hat = click. OK. Got it. so.... thud click snap click. repeat. There. All done. What say you, drummer friends? Well. Even my "never-touched-a-drum" friends are not impressed. So I continue to pursue learning the drum beat.
In this struggle to conquer a continent of musical expression, is it possible the concept has seized my subconscious? As I was just flipping through my phone's photo gallery, it seems that it has. My shoot-from-the-hip camera photography tendencies have been gravitating to images with strong graphical rhythms. Of course some of these may be a stretch, but then again, so may some of those "drum beats" I've been smushing together the last couple months.
