When I'm really in a musical state of mind, everything can sound like music.

This is not as psychotic, or as pretentious, as it may sound!

I make a lot of recordings where I convert natural audio into MIDI then orchestrate at will; what starts out as a chicken may wind up a fiddle. So, walking along the river, I might try to imagine what hidden, digitally-extractable melodies there are in the water sounds, and the wind in the trees.

Listening to the world like that makes me want to go back home and make music on my iMac, which, if it goes well, makes me want to take another walk somewhere else.
