Brian Eno’s Oblique Strategies has a “remove specifics and convert to ambiguities” which I love. You don’t have to be a songwriter to learn from what songwriting teaches. ❤️
I've recently become hip to how great Zoom meetings can be for artist cohorts- I started one for working artists to talk about...work, and I also just put up a post about starting a Zoom meeting for our current Song Camp on Fridays- I am thinking 12 Eastern Time, but I was trying to get a little feedback on people's availability. I'd love to have you join!
