What I really could use today, is software at my computer that records my whole workday in front of it, and allows me to go just to the points where I was making sound later on, and easily extract worthy material.<p>I explan: I often spontaneously start reciting some poetry or prose come from god knows where in my subconscious, in the form and meaning of a speech, a pitch, a story or even a song. Sometimes it's just a beat or a melody. These often turn out to be incredibly creative and surprise me, but by the time I setup something to try and record it, surely as winter comes every year the creativity has fled the building, and I can't record anything worthwhile. My creativity is like a lovely squirrel who stops playing with the acorn once he notices he's being watched.<p>I have looked into surveillance software now and then after such an episode, but really, this should be easier. This should be an always on Evernote audio note with soundwave analysis strapped on. I wonder what artists and even writers use in their studios and studies, for surely those who don't have such a setup are missing out on a lot of their greatest, most spontaneous material if they're anything as eccentric as myself.
