"I agree Zinos and Schletty, it is mostly hard work. But music should convey a feeling or a mood. And the initial idea should come from somewhere, then you start developing it. Even while delveloping, teh melodic phrases start falling into place, you…"

"There is, however, upon your definition, several other levels of inspiration that can make, lets say, somebody from group 1, to compose things that only group 2 does and vice-versa. Is true that life and experiences are a start point, but cannot be…"
