Okay, I think I’ve always known the component to being an artist is simply spending the time on art. Well, anything can be said about how things should or could or even could have been done, but the simplest truth when it comes down to it is that you must spend the time doing art. You must spend the time. ART = TIME. Not really all those things you do outside, only those actual creative processes where everything amalgamates together into a sonic stew. That, then and there is the creation of music. We’re not talking about breakthroughs, or respected egos, “Oh, how I admire people who can get into so much detail, be so smart! Be so innovative.” No! These are all lies! I’m talking about an outpouring of the soul that only exists in that moment. Self-conscious departed. Expectations discarded. The future exalted. All that exists is now, the present. This creative process. TIME = CREATIVITY as long as there is a medium to record human reflection. TIME = ART. I never said Good, or Bad art, but if you just expect to make good, great, or groundbreaking work, you’ll never get anything done. In fact everything will fall to a halt if you think that way. Children allow themselves to create. That’s why I think so many adults stop themselves in their own tracks. Adults expect to be good, fast, and they can’t deal with ‘not knowing’, ‘not being able to understand’ things. Emotional death at the source. Art is experience. TIME = EXPERIENCE = ART all in one, existing at the same moment. I didn’t say that art is based on experience, I said that is IS one.
