Mmmm... Disruption, self-discovery, pacing yourself and playing

Things to make you go Mmmm…

by Darien J 

"To encourage creativity by sharing more inspiration than any electronic artist.”


Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.


3 for you:

Be disruptive.

“One of the things I’ve discovered over the course of my career is that people who effect radical change have to exhibit an uncompromising faith in experimentation, a radical impatience with the default, a bias for novelty and action, and a sense that disruption is something you engage, not observe.” - Beth Comstock


Rediscover your inner artist.

“Remember that in order to recover as an artist, you must be willing to be a bad artist. Give yourself permission to be a beginner. By being willing to be a bad artist, you have a chance to be an artist, and perhaps, over time, a very good one.” - Julia Cameron


Work at a natural pace.

“Don’t rush your most important work. Allow it instead to unfold along a sustainable timeline, with variations in intensity, in settings conducive to brilliance.” - Cal Newport


1 from me

The Power of play.

“Play isn’t just for kids—it’s a powerful tool for creativity. When you engage in play, you let go of expectations, rules, and limits. It’s in this freedom that creativity truly blossoms. Whether it’s through music, art, or simply trying something new, play opens the door to fresh ideas and unexpected connections.

Exploration and fun break down the barriers of routine thinking, allowing you to approach problems with a new perspective. So, don’t underestimate the power of play. It’s not a distraction—it’s a gateway to your most creative self.”
