At some point as a creative, you’ll hit a technical density ceiling — so beyond that, it’s like “Well what can I say now that no one else is expressing?”

Pick three small things that repeatedly annoy you, and spend a dedicated block of time fixing them tomorrow. Reducing friction really multiplies over a few months.

More than sometimes, being “decisionless” and falling into whatever you come upon next is the best decision after all.

Preparation sets you up so you can improvise and adapt to environmental surprises.

Vangelis, Burial, and Zach Cregger believe in not overthinking creativity and going with it!

As Cregger sez: “… it just felt right. It was just
one of those things. I really try not to think about anything when I'm writing. I don't want to intellectualize anything.”

It’s natural to huff your cat when they smell of funnel cake or other cozy confections.

The searing superb synth Dawesome KONTRAST is out! Makes wavetables tactile to surf (gnarly aggro basses! Blissy pads! Metallic chimes!), great w/MPE — you'll be a Dune Guild Navigator surfing thru spacetime! I did a demo for it, scroll down 😊 🎵

"For V" w/robochoral fragility, a neo-baroque requiem about two+ months in another world.

I’ve a pet peeve for portmanteaus that don’t flow smoothly.

If there's ever an open-world game based on Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga, a New Game+ mode would absolutely make sense — think about it.

If you’re going to play a melody, go all out — don’t just paint vague contours, get to the heart of the matter and exponentiate catchiness, reinforced with boldly complementing chord progressions. Then, season with glitchy dust and call it a day. 😅
