Recently I've been thinking about creation and labelling. I don't think they go so well together. So I've been trying to blur my lines. I think everything links anyway. The more you create and explore one field the more it will open up and be part of another. Expand your practice from a different perspective. Let different parts of your brain play and work. Inspire all levels of your creativity.
Sometimes I find myself in a stale headspace musically so I open up my other outlets of expression. I play around on instruments I'm not so comfortable with. Explore photography, illustration, film, drawing or writing. I think creativity sits in the mind. It doesn't matter what your tool is. Expression is always there. It just needs to be engaged. I often find that my ideas on the kit are fresher after spending time playing within another creative outlet. It leaves me exploring the kit in shapes, I start to think of sound quality as angles and groove ideas are played around with like architecture - are they symmetrical? or purposely wonky?

It's all balance.

Being able to tap into which ever outlet feels right in the moment and creating from there.

Creators creating creations.
