Most artists have experienced the creative block. We get stuck in our work. We beat our head against the wall: nothing. Sometimes, it is because we are trying something at the wrong time.
From Lukas Foss
It is the element I miss in electronic music - no performance, no loving immersion. Maybe that is why I was never particularly drawn to electronic music.
It is obvious that anything a scientist discovers or invents is based on previous discoveries and inventions. The same applies to the arts.
If one uses music that one does not really love, then one will not succeed in making it one's own.
I strongly suggest that we play down basics like who influenced whom, and instead study the way the influence is transformed, in other words: how the artist made it his own.
I still do not know where the notes will come from when I accept a commission for a new work.
