Uncovering the Essence of Creative Flow

Discovering the Truth Within

[Artist's Name] firmly states that they don't have a premeditated story they want to tell. They let the story unfold naturally, as if guided by an unseen force. This approach allows for a genuine connection with the creative process, where the artist's true emotions and experiences take center stage. By not starting with a concept in mind, they believe that the story emerges organically, once the artist has expressed themselves truthfully.

The idea of not trying to plan what will happen while writing is a crucial aspect of [Artist's Name]'s creative journey. They trust that the magic will happen when they allow themselves to be fully present and open to the possibilities. This mindset frees them from the constraints of preconceived notions and allows for a more authentic and spontaneous expression.

Inspiration from the Screen

When it comes to inspiration, [Artist's Name] draws heavily from the world of cinema. One film that has had a significant impact on their work is "Persona." This movie often played on the screen as they were creating, serving as a source of inspiration and a backdrop for their creative process. Additionally, "The Color of Pomegranates" and "Climax" also played a role in shaping their artistic vision.

[Artist's Name] even went as far as watching "Persona" without the sound, a testament to the visual impact it had on them. As soon as they enter the studio, they put "Persona" on the screen and let it guide their work. This shows the power of visual stimuli in inspiring creative expression and how it can become an integral part of the creative process.

The Dream of Writing a Film Score

Scoring a film is one of [Artist's Name]'s biggest dreams. They envision the pride and honor that would come with the opportunity to create the music that enhances a film's narrative. However, they also understand the need to balance their creative vision with the practicality of making the music accessible and intelligible.

Often, their compositions are stripped back to meet the listener halfway. They may have elaborate 10-minute intros with beautiful instrumentation, but they know that they need to cut it down to a more manageable two minutes to fit within the context of the album. This shows their ability to adapt and find the right balance between creativity and practicality.

Other Creative Mediums and Inspiration

While not a skilled painter, [Artist's Name] enjoys the act of painting from time to time. They also find inspiration in watching others paint, as art in all its forms is a major driving force for them. But perhaps the greatest source of inspiration comes from observing the world around them.

Whether it's having breakfast and studying the people around them or being in the openness of Malibu and observing nature, [Artist's Name] believes that these everyday experiences can fuel their creativity. Coming from the East Coast, they feel that being in a different environment allows them to see the world in a new light and gain new perspectives.
