Feeling overwhelmed by endless gear options and digital distractions? In this episode Alison & Greg dissect how modern life impacts musical creativity. They tackle the seductive "gear honeymoon" – is it real inspiration or just a temporary high? - and explore the critical difference between technologies that free your mind versus those that try to do your thinking for you. How can musicians cultivate a unique artistic voice when consumerism and algorithmic content constantly vie for attention? Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation on navigating the modern creative landscape, fostering genuine, internally-driven musical expression and move beyond fleeting novelty to focus on more a sustainable, authentic artistic practice. This is a conversation about finding your own creative space in a world designed to pull you away from it.
