Poll: How would you deal with this situation?

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am new here, so I apologize in advance if I have posted this message in the wrong place. I am not a composer so this is likely the last post I will ever make here. I am posting this question, directed at anyone who composes music:

“Suppose you are locked up under solitary confinement in a prison. (It might help to imagine the prison situation in The Man in the Iron Mask.) As a composer, how would you deal with your situation?”

Try to answer this question as best you can without letting other replies to this post influence your response. I am not looking for advice, but am only interested in knowing you would do in this situation. I am asking it only out of pure curiosity.

Thank you,

Taj

Depending on prison comforts and the length of the term, I'd ask for music paper, erasers, pencils (and a means of sharpening them) and get on with it. Nice if I could have a keyboard + phones too.

Solidtude is hard to come by in my life and just a week is something to prize so I probably wouldn't get on too badly. Some years ago I had to work for a few weeks in the tropics. The (unsafe) evenings might have been boring. I wanted to write music. Facilities were absent so I ruled up some music paper to cope with a flood of inspiration.
