Why I Stopped Forcing My Music | Melodic Minute
Hey friends,
Welcome back to Melodic Minute — the slow, quiet corner of YouTube where I share thoughts on creativity, music, and the process of making art. This episode is a personal reflection on a question I've been sitting with for a while: why do we make art?
Inspired by something Olafur Arnalds recently shared, I take a step back and ask myself why I make music, why I create, and why any of it matters. Along the way I share the story of how I stopped forcing my music and started trusting intuition instead.
You'll see me jamming on the Moog Mother-32 alongside the Hologram Microcosm. The performance was so matching for the topic, as it is a real exploration of sound and response. The invitation at the end is for you: what's your why? Let me know below in the comments!
