    oh i forgot about this jewel:

    sometimes i'll use my environment as my tuning fork..

    if i hear a big truck go by outside, i'll start humming to the key of the sound the engine made. i can compose complex pieces if there are other rythmic sounds that accompany the first (ie. horn honks, squealing brakes, etc.)

    i used to do this a lot at a place i worked at downtown. i was on the 5th floor with a corner office, and given the location, opportunities like this were quite common.
