Been there many a-time. If something is going on in my life that takes me outside of the normal routines...stuff comes to me. Tough question, matey!

Where do you find creativity?
I always start with the creator, but that is a personal choice. Beyond that I have found that too much studying, too much observing, too much questioning; stagnates our ability to be free spirited. When a new sound is created; it is never new for long before other artist mimic, spin off; or outright hijack the sound. At that is the core question; are you a leader of follower? Leaders are innovators, creators, and have a keen sense of what the soul craves. Followers take the sounds of others and twist it enough so they can claim it as their own. Creativity also comes in waves- think the ocean. Periods of non creativity is the period between the last and the next wave. Let your mind be purged from the last jamb session- so that there is neutral ground for the next. Think farming; the period from the time a seed is planted to the time a harvest comes is 3-4 months. don;t lose patience while the seed is growing. In due season you will have your next harvest.
