“I really do think inspiration comes from day-to-day life. I think there's things that pique our interest - not necessarily aha! moments - but things that just kinda make you raise your eyebrows. And those are often the moments that are the seeds of inspiration. Sometimes they're in a great conversation with friends, sometimes they're things you see live, something you read, a movie trailer you watch... I think inspiration is kind of laid out there. One thing we have to practice is recognizing when it happens, and recording that moment so we can come back to it.” ThinkingKindSometimesMomentsInspirationHappensInterestWatchesPracticeOne ThingConversationRaisesSeedsThat MomentDay To DayRecognizingEyebrowsTrailersDay LifeDay To Day LifePiqueAha Moment Author:Phil Kay
“The relationship between government and art must necessarily be a delicate one. It would not be appropriate for the government to try to define what is good or what is true or what is beautiful. But government can provide nourishment to the ground within which these ideas spring forth from the seeds of inspiration within the human mind.” TryingMindHumansArtIdeasInspirationGovernmentBeautifulSpringSeedsAppropriateHuman MindDelicateNourishment Book:Jimmy Carter Source: Jimmy Carter
“In order for my live performance to work, which is about generating a focused energy for about an hour and a half, it is necessary for me to listen and take in someone else's focused energy the day of or the day before the live show. That can transpire through a conversation, or inspiration can occur by looking through any type of visual book which sparks a narrative. That narrative then becomes today's seed and can then take root in music terms, where a sonic tree begins to grow.” BookShowsInspirationTodayOrderEnergyGrowsTermHoursHalfTreeTypeConversationRootsPerformancesFocusedSeedsNarrativeVisualsSparksLive Performance Author:Tori Amos
