Memories and the Subconscious

Memories and the subconscious work in tandem, influencing vocalists who may instinctively produce melodies or utter words when first engaging with an instrumental track, seemingly without premeditation. This spontaneous act of creation may appear random, but upon closer examination, it often carries deeper meaning, emerging as a fully formed idea or…-

EPILOGUE: CHOICES TO BE MADE We are on the verge of becoming a trauma-conscious society. Almost every day one of my colleagues publishes another report on how trauma disrupts the workings of mind, brain, and body.

Distraction
Distraction, when used strategically, plays an essential role in the creative process, providing a necessary balance between intense focus and subconscious exploration. While many believe that creativity requires deep concentration at all times, the reality is that stepping away from a project and engaging in seemingly unrelated activities can unlock fresh ideas and novel insights.
