A word salad poem cut from episode excerpts by the podcast producer 🫛
Rhythm driven. Timing is a big part of it. A bunch of stuff going on. There is this balance. A lot of overlap for sure. Having outside pressure. Scaffolding that. Limitations are the best. In any creative thing. Call it a color. Are selective. Put a soundtrack to it. Artistic ideas. The vibe. Very relatable. Neat to know how to do that. This sense of being understood. That initial raw connection. The uncertainty of the process. About discovering. A better structure. Element of playfulness and curiosity. Reactive. That’s helpful. Groovy. A thing that happens. Also dope in many ways. When two worlds blend. Went for it. Delivering something for somebody. Landing in a cool way. Through creating stuff and sharing it. Such a specific skill. It is what it is. It’s a flavor. Really cool characters, really weird characters. Strong feelings for sure. The rough and stuff. That aesthetic. The choices. Make some decisions. That next little boost of energy. A thing in the world. Really really excited to accomplish. Because there’s an artifact. Getting insight. Very very deeply. In a distribution. Kind of on rails. A part of it. Feels like the song, feels like an extension of the song. Envision the thing. Really really creative. A very vague map. A doodling person. The journey of learning. Some of the best most uplifting. Having a thing in mind. Got to do it. Get how it goes. Weird version of that thing. Develop those skills. To capture a vibe. Really nebulous. Pretty organically. Open to suggestions. About that pace, that rhythm, that sense of life. What’s cool and beautiful. All of that. So helpful. It was all happening. Incredible. This array of tools. To bring this extra level. Aesthetically pleasing. Very playful and fun. A really cool driving force. Beat and animation. Frame by frame for the most part. 🎞
