did you ever get piano lessons or lessons in music making before making banger music?
not much. at various times in my childhood i've had a few sessions with teachers or mentors. sometimes i'd learn some really cool stuff. other times not. the vast majority of my musical experience has been either alone or in professional or social environments

How do I get inspiration for writing tunes?
i'm not sure. just switch back and forth between trying to write tunes and not trying. keep switching back and forth, and, over the course of several days, the inspiration will forget whether you're trying or not and just give it to you

Why does the airport terminal have a reference to out to lunch?
i don't recall "out to lunch" being in the song, but it might be in the video. "out to lunch" is a cool sounding phrase, in my opinion. it's probably no longer used for lunch purposes, but it's fresh enough in people's memories that it's still a well known classic. even better, my highschool science teacher used to use it to mean "totally incorrect" or "having no idea what they're talking about." for example if you say Paris is the capital of Spain, that's considered "out to lunch". i suppose i've had a fondness for that phrase ever since

it seems that you use traditional grip (left hand is upside down) while drumming. is that how you learned it?
i started matched, then in 4th grade in gym class a basketball hit me in the middle finger and temporarily jammed it so i couldn't bend it for about a week. that's when i realized that it's actually possible to use traditional grip without bending that finger. so i switched to traditional until the finger got better, and then i never switched back
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html

trad is rad. that's just the way it is

how do you get the motivation to complete a song when you think others won't enjoy it?
i guess at some point you realize that it is possible, to make things that are indeed enjoyed. very much. you've seen other people do it. so, after seeing it's possible, if you then have a deep conviction that that can be you, should be, could be, is gonna be you, ....... then it's gonna be you. and you make it happen

So have you ever thought about if aliens have their own version of the internet?
the internet as we know it seems like 1 stage in an extremely rapid transition, relatively speaking. kind of like that first raindrop in the rainstorm. but in the vast scope of the universe, sure i'd say it's safe to estimate that someone else is indeed having that first raindrop right at this moment as we speak
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-07.html
Follow-up question if you have thought about it do you also imagine them using it for mostly silly pointless things like we humans do?
well let's unpack the implicit thesis you just snuck into the question, which is that you think the internet is mostly silly and pointless. i disagree with that part, and then about the aliens i'd say their internet wouldn't be pointless either. ask them why they made it. if you don't understand their reason, then that might be just a language barrier

there seems to be two opposing advices when it comes to creation and the "big idea". some suggest putting it on hold until you feel confident enough in your skill to tackle it without "wasting" the idea. But another seems to imply that other big ideas will keep coming so just focusing on it now is good. I feel like the first advice can end up making someone to never work on that one thing they really wanted to put out there for fear of never being ready. Since they could always improve more before tackling it. Maybe its just a matter of feeling ready? and maybe some people are adventurous enough to feel ready asap? maybe its not about being adventurous idk, im just kind of brainstorming and maybe projecting my own personal feelings towards this situation. Do you feel like writing a lot of songs makes you feel ready to tackle "big ideas" in other mediums/formats like storytelling? or do you feel its a different scenario enough to feel like you need to work yourself up to the more ambitious or attached-to ideas. One thing seems for sure though, if there is only one idea im passionate about, it feels obvious to tackle that one, but if more come it makes sense to hold off on the one i may be more-attached to or more ambitious about. I guess my "bad" feeligns towards the advice of holding until one feels ready is the assumption that it forces one to focus on things one is not passionate about. and it may come from a completely subjective situation of being REALLY passionate about one thing right now and the idea of forcing myself to focus on something else feeling like a dam would be placed in this current world building flow.
you can go ahead and work on the big favorite. but if you're too scared, then maybe you can't. now, you may ask, "is that ok?" and it reminds me of when they ask, in restaurants, "is Pepsi ok?" and the answer of course is no. pepsi is not ok. nothing is ok

on your youtube, there is a song called "got some money," whereas on your snogs page, there is a song called "money.". after listening to both of these, i believe them to be the same song. if this is the case, then is this intentional?
the name of the song is "money". the name of the video is "got some money" to make it more obvious that it's a song. a video titled "money" almost seems like it would be a video about money. but that's not quite what it is. "got some money" seemed like a better representation of what the video actually is: a music video

Hello! I love everything you do, you inspire me a lot! And it's my first time ever asking you here... I don't know what you're up to now, and you answered some time ago that you're not on schedule anymore, at least what you considered as a schedule. But when you was on it, what were you doing on the weekends, saturdays and sundays?
in the course of the 3 week cycle, the first sat/sun i'd probably be in the writing stage. the second sat/sun i'd probably be somewhere in the music production stage. and in the 3rd sat/sun i'd probably be slamming my way through graphics and video production
