Editorial Review: Product Description: This book teaches an innovative method called Immersion Composition that drives musicians to engage their creativity by writing as much music as possible in a set time period. After learning to apply the method, elusive moments of inspiration can be summoned on command. The book also explains how to form a group of like-minded songwriters (a "lodge"), presents dozens of tips and games for making the most out of an Immersion Composition session, and shows how to turn brainstormed raw materials into polished songs. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good, but too narrowly focusedThis book would benefit if the subtitle was changed to "A Radical *Method* to Cutting Loose, Overcoming Blocks, and Writing the Best Songs of Your Life." As a frustrated songwriter, I purchased this hoping it provide various insights and multiple approaches to overcoming writer's block. As it turns out, it just gives one: set aside 12 hours (12 straight hours, not broken up) and try to write 20 songs, and do this on a twice-a-month basis or so. The rest of the book gives tips on how to do this ... Read More Rating:  - Just Buy ItThis book squarely delivers what it promises. The author teaches you how to create a situation where you shut up (or maybe just stop listening to those bad voices in your head) and put up and watch your process change for the better immediately. The books ideas work quickly and effectively because they're simply a means of changing outlook - and outlook *is* the problem. The great thing is that these techniques don't focus on long-process psychoanalysis to help you work out your "outlook problems" ...

Now, the flaws - it seems to talk too much about the whole songwriter lodge thing... where friends gather once a week and share the ideas they've made during the week. This is a great idea in theory, but in my 15+ years of writing music, I haven't met anyone who is truly into this idea... if anyone wants to get together to share songs, ...

Must go write... Rating: - Greatly SurprisedI have been a musician for over 30 years. And with that, I have only written a handful of songs without a collaborator. I read this entire book, then followed the idea of locking myself away for an entire day while attempting to write 20 (yes 20) songs. Now, I came away with 4 songs. I didn't follow the program exactly as it recommended, or I most likely would have come away with quite a few more ideas. Instead, I went for 'finished' songs, and in my opinion, 4 songs in one day(especially for someone ... Read More
