Real creativity comes when you're put into a restricting situation. Your mind starts to concoct ideas with whatever is at hand and take an alternate route instead of a direct route. eg; You need a string section on a track but you cant afford it and only have one violin player, so instead you have to layer different takes of one violin trying achieve a quartet sound, which, on its own creates a unique effect. You have a sound in mind, but you dont have the means to do so, so you improvise with what you have to achieve it, it doesnt nessesarily have to sound like the ultimate goal in mind. When an artist trys to develope his/her technique too much, it removes the restricting situation. The mind starts to wander away from a goal. Because when we have the knowledge that there is other possibilitys we start to determine which is better and the creative process is tainted.
Enigmatic sound, breaching ears, words hitching hiking towards my brain, on a saddle of color.
Kids on cocaine: contradicting, spreading viral ironies; no culture.
Punks playing the same song, expecting change and unification amongst classes. No ones listening.
An ape bashes a stick against a rock and makes a loud noise, everyone turns and gazes in awe. Another ape bashes a tree trunk against a rock and makes a bigger noise, the crowd turns in awe. Another ape builds a raft and humbly floats away.

Hello lovely, you are most welcome. It's cute you relayed that message through my mum. As for pictures of my travels, they're mostly pictures of architecture and drunken nights, but you're welcome to see them all the same. The only ones I have on flickr are these ones: http://www.flickr.com/photos/27062853@N00/ Take a peek if you fancy it. More to come within the next few weeks!
