My Story: A Journey of Creative Freedom and Unexpected Success
There is a saying that all roads lead to Rome. Similarly, solutions are found by choosing diverse options. When creating publications, music, images, or illustrations, the greatest number of ideas, along with sketches and motifs, are selected.
Because the more possibilities our mind has, the more it gets inspired and organizes the unconnected—that which doesn't seem to match—and utilizes it.
There are many who possess great creative talent, but what elevates the level are the ideas and the previously gathered thoughts. A long time ago, a music magazine mentioned a Japanese composer who, when remnants of past recordings remained, "would say: 'just a moment, record that again.'" To put it simply: he drew new ideas from what had been discarded. That is why we must always go back and review our past drafts, old ideas, musical fragments, loops, motifs, and sketches. By reviewing them again, we use our talent and good taste. We have to review our creative works in an embryonic state, and that is how something new is born, by using common sense to discriminate what is seen and what is heard as good.
Among the students, I heard the phrase: "Teacher, I am very creative." I responded: "Yes, that's fine; take it to the next level, which is ordered and selective work." I wanted to tell her: —But ultimately, I didn't know what "being creative" meant to her.
A little bit of talent, a small butterfly, a group of birds on the power line, a tetragram instead of a pentagram—these can give birth to another idea. Being aware of the surroundings, of every small bit of nature, projects us upwards. We will manage to achieve creations that surprise us when someone sees or hears them.
