Generous and generative
Today I’m thinking about generativity – generative music, generative arts, generative principles in life.
I’m also thinking about generosity – in the arts, among artists, or anywhere in life.
Both concepts share a common Greek root – “gene-“: to beget, to give birth.
To look into yourself is often misunderstood as a selfish act – something for dreamers and snowflakes. But to generate art is to be generous: to share the insights your reflections bring forth so they can enable even more insights.
Generative processes create an abundance of variations and possibilities – for the creators and for the recipients. So does generosity.
Sometimes things just make sense.

New album: Possibilities Vol. 1
I tend to not use this space for personal announcements (that’s what my monthly newsletter is for), but I think a new album merits a post: Erik Emil Eskildsen and I have released Possibilities Vol. 1, an album of ambient compositions recorded in early 2016 and produced in the fall of last year.
