Holding on to creativity.

We have all met the artist that won’t let go of a single part of their “vision”. They feel if a single note is out of place then the song is all wrong, and no one can contribute but them. Further we have met the artist that is convinced that everything they write is the next big thing and will hardly even show someone their work. It seems, as always we think too highly of ourselves. Shouldn’t creativity be a gift to the world?

What would really happen if we gave our music away for free, and in a way that others could alter. Instead of looking at creativity as a limited resource that only you posses that we freely gave and contributed. At least for me, it made life more fun and connected me with a lot of artist I would not otherwise be connected with. Surprisingly it also brought in more work. Taking the approach of limitless supply rather than a of scarcity that needs to be controlled has been very liberating. It challenges your view of the industry of art certainly but brings tremendous freedom and for me has brought some beautiful collaborations.
