Funnily, I play my electric bass always unplugged. But I also don't play 
it for an audience, but for myself...
These sort of questions are good to ask, but on the other hand don't 
make too much sense.
If living in the moment, the moment will determine what I will do. 
Sitting alone in a car without radio usually will lead me to sing. But 
all this doesn't qualify me as a musician. I qualify as a 
musician/artist only in a context with others. Either there is space for 
that role or there isn't. If there is, I guess I'd find a way to fill 
it. But how, is nothing to think about now.
Electric power is available as I write this, and as I write I don't make 
music, which shows, there is maybe something worse than having no power, 
having no space/time to make music...
