I used to look at composing music as problem solving. But as I get older, it's not about problem solving anymore. There are no solutions, because there are no problems. You just turn the tap and it flows out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I truly believe that my songs bring the answers and the solutions, as opposed to just talking about the problems. My music at its core is joyful.
As an artist you have the luxury of maybe presenting an issue in a certain way, as opposed to actually solving it.
Problems are hidden opportunities, and constraints can actually boost creativity.
I'm not afraid of problem-solving. There is always a way.
Creating problems is easy. We do it all the time. Finding solutions, ones that last and produce good results, requires guts and care.
Composing music is hard work.
Usually, I create tunes that are fragmented. I think the biggest obstacle for people with their creativity is that they feel they have to sit down and create this finished, polished product.
If you can talk brilliantly about a problem, it can create the consoling illusion that it has been mastered.
Creating something is all about problem-solving.
When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.
