Do you create experimental tracks out of boredom?

I find when I'm working on particular songs or a project, I may get bored, or the song isn't going the right way - then I goof around and create crap like this

(That mix is bad btw, still haven't grasped Ableton's (Lite) arrange, so it's an export from the mixer screen).

I have several of these spontaneous experiments which tend to suck (not keeping rhythm if I'm doing guitar), and it's kinda fun listening to them again over time. They don't really serve any purpose other than "getting it out".

Yep, i have whole crap load of little experimental things that have been created, but then again my favorite music is experimental so this is my way of writing my favorite music, piecing things like these together. I like going back through my hard drive and listening to them when I have no idea what they are, and a lot of them I don't even remember making.

Hopefully there's experimentation going on for every song. I know that's not what you mean, though. I have probably about 40-50 experimental things that I've done, most of which won't see the light of day, at least in their present form. But they may be folded into something else.

I love to experiment. In fact, I spend way too much time working on hideous stuff no-one except me would want to listen to - kind of a tidying your bedroom displacement style activity to avoid working on the tracks i should be working on...

 

Experimenting is fun, and there's no pressure. When you're working on something that you know people are going to hear and judge it can make you worry more.
