Cut-and-paste music collages are fun ways to zone out and let the subconscious sing. I use the program Acid, and I'll very often take left-overs from other projects I've worked on or random musical riffs or sometimes even recorded phone conversations or bits of movies and television shows and use them as soundscapes rather than songs. With the music collages it's not about writing music, persay, it's about using the bits and pieces like paint and seeing what images they form when spread across the canvas.
