A few years ago I wrote down seven points that, for lack of a better term, I labeled "maxims." During that particularly fruitful time very clear ideas would come to me while in the studio. I started to write them down. These maxims apply to art and the creative process and were written in a style reminiscent of old song-by-song liner notes, the best example being Bill Wither's classic "Still Bill." I've borrowed his text/subtext or formal explanation/informal explanation approach (you'll see what I mean). I'll post one at a time in this space.
#1: One's "style" should be a result rather than a goal. Beware of others' boxes.
