Notebook Thursday: Elsewheres and Collisions

3/31/2023

Several songs are at a point where it would be lethal to discuss their processes instead of working on them directly, so instead here's a quick roundup of ideas that have been feeding into my creative process of late:
  • Elisa Gabbert in the NYT Book Review on what poetry is and isn't
  • Josh Terry on AI in music, with a killer quote from Nick Cave (and a nod to a great Emmylou Harris/Delbert McClinton song)​
  • Austin Kleon on curiosity
  • Ted Gioia on the Orphic quest
  • Anne Helen Peterson on various lives in art

Things are chaotic enough this spring that an interesting pastiche might result from the chaos itself. Yesterday there were several phrases banging around in my head without any sort of clear form or creative imperative. I wrote them on sticky notes with a brush pen (a Pentel, another Austin Kleon recommendation for slowing down and focusing thoughts) and put them on the wall over my desk. I'm going to keep adding to the assembly and see what sorts of meanings arise from the new juxtapositions as the words become detached from their original contexts. (Part of me feels it's necessary to describe this process here just in case I die suddenly: to the uninitiated eye, this could easily look like some sort of terrifying conspiracy-theory psychotic break. I swear it's just art.)
