the art of flow

every day i work on a bit of music. i don’t always get to the studio at the exact same time. i don’t always work for the same amount of time. but me, going there — to that space, is a non-negotiable.

the act of making something is intrinsically rewarding. i am satisfied with the work itself, not with the idea of  external rewards that will come from it. i feel in control when the work is challenging. i try to challenge myself every day. music is an endless puzzle. the mathematical side of my brain wants to “figure it out” while the artistic side of my brain wants to “let it flow naturally.” it is a beautiful struggle yet weirdly harmonious when it all comes together.

i lose track of time for the day. my ego fades, i don’t think of how others perceive me and i am engaged in the moment. for a few hours a day, i am present, i am in the pocket, and i am happy and grateful that this is what i get to do.

thank you for listening.
