"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”
Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.

"True intuitive expertise is learned from prolonged experience with good feedback on mistakes.” - Daniel Kahneman
Living life on the edge.
"I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can't see from the center. Big, undreamed‑of things—the people on the edge see them first." - Kurt Vonnegut
Expand your dataset.
“Knowledge is not evenly distributed. Despite the promise of the internet age, the majority of the world’s knowledge isn’t written down and freely available. Instead, it’s locked away in the minds of experts, many of whom would struggle to articulate what they know. Knowledge is often not inside the head of any individual at all, but embodied in practices spread over groups.” - Scott H. Young

Find Your Scene.
“Talent grows fastest in the right environment.
Not every room is meant for you, and that’s not a failure - it’s feedback.
When you’re surrounded by people who share your values, your pace, and your curiosity, effort feels lighter and progress feels natural.
Stop trying to fit everywhere.
Go where the energy sharpens you, challenges you, and makes you want to show up better.
That’s where your work will thrive.”
