Mmmm... Synthesis, expression, identity and environment.

Things to make you go Mmmm…

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


Three thoughts for your creativity and one on mine.


3 for you:

What is creativity?

"Creativity is the focused combination of unlikely things. Your mind locks onto a certain element and then searches widely for something unexpected that fits with it. What can scuba diving teach you about agriculture? What can trees teach you about public speaking? There is always some connective tissue between disciplines. If you wish to be more creative, look for the connections between two previously unconnected things." - James Clear


We need you.

“Whether you create from a position of pain or jubilation, we need you, your gifts, and your talents.” - Quincy Jones


Choose your lane.

“Deciding what you’re not before you decide what you are lets you stand strong in your own category.” - Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson


1 from me

Build a Creative Space.

“Your environment shapes your creativity. A well-crafted space—whether physical or mental—can spark ideas and fuel imagination.

It doesn’t have to be elaborate; even small changes like better lighting, inspiring objects, or a clutter-free desk can make a difference.

More importantly, create a space where you feel free to experiment and make mistakes. Comfort and curiosity should coexist.

When your space feels right, your mind feels right—and that’s when creativity flows naturally.

Build a space that nurtures you, and watch your imagination thrive.”
