“Creativity is knowing how to hide your sources, to bury them in the deep recesses of your consciousness where the light of day can’t reach. It’s a clandestine operation, like a back-alley deal in the dead of night, where you swap out the obvious for the obscure, blending fragments of thought into a cocktail that can knock out the unsuspecting. You become the alchemist, turning the base metals of the everyday into the gold of something untraceable, something that crawls under the skin and spreads like a virus in the bloodstream of the mind. The trick isn’t just in the hiding—it’s in the transformation, in twisting and warping until the original is a distant memory, a ghost haunting the new creation.

Don’t play what’s there because what’s there is already decayed, ossified in the cemetery of the familiar, the well-trodden paths of the mundane. The notes, the words, the ideas—they’re all just corpses lying in wait for the next naive soul to stumble upon them. No, you play what’s not there, you reach into the void, into the dark matter of existence, and pull out the unseen, the unheard, the unsaid. You navigate the labyrinth of the unknown, guided by the flickering light of intuition, feeling your way through the tunnels of consciousness where reality bends and breaks. What you play is the echo of a dream, the shadow of a thought, the residue of something that never fully existed—a distortion of reality that is more real than the truth, a sound that resonates in the empty spaces of the mind where logic and reason fear to tread.

Creativity, then, is not just an act of creation—it’s an act of concealment, of misdirection, a sleight of hand where the left hand doesn’t know what the right hand is doing. It’s the art of crafting the invisible, of making the unheard scream with a voice so loud that it shatters the very concept of silence. In the end, it’s not about what you reveal; it’s about what you leave hidden, what you let fester and grow in the dark, where the real magic happens, unseen by the eyes of the uninitiated.”
