Artistic process : an inspirational guide from a musician"s perspective

Artistic Process - An Inspirational Guide from a Musician"s Perspective is full of methods, tips and ideas about how to make things happen when we"re stuck. It looks at how to move forward by using Flow Parameters, as well as methods like The Star, The Cake, A Hundred Days - and how our Neurons can help; how writing, walking or doing nothing at all can be pretty useful methods for achieving Reflection.

  All this is interspersed with the author"s meandering ideas inspired by her own artistic processes, together with insights into other
artists" ways of thinking prompted by questions like:
How do you start? What inspires you?

       Although the book initially reflects the perspective of a musician, the methods, ideas and concepts are useful or transferrable to other artistic forms and
activities.
