A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
创造
Creation
The creative individual has the capacity to free himself from the web of social pressures in which the rest of us are caught. He is capable of questioning the assumptions that the rest of us accept.
有创造力的人有能力将自己从社会压力的网中解放出来,而我们其他人则被困在其中。他能够质疑我们其他人接受的假设。
Its very sort of spontaneous and organic, not a preconceived sort of jamming. Now we record everything, cause sometimes you'll forget, you know, 'what was that thing again?' So we record everything.

When I work alone, it can be like dabbling with a canvas. Maybe you paint over bits, and it starts to form its own life and lead you off in a direction. It becomes an intuitive, subconscious process.
当我一个人工作时,就像在画布上摸索。也许你把点点滴滴涂上颜料,它就开始形成自己的生命,指引你走向一个方向。它变成了一个直觉的、潜意识的过程。
My joking answer to this question is that I leave a bowl of milk out on the back porch every night for the Idea Fairy. In the morning, the milk is gone and there's a brand-new shiny idea by the bowl.

For years that may mean imitation. Then, one day, it is like a door opening, and a new thought comes in. Why not try this instead. Suddenly he is doing something original, almost in spite of himself.

You look at the world around you, and you take it apart into all its components. Then you take some of those components, throw them away, and plug in different ones, start it up and see what happens.

I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums.

When I'm shooting on location, you get ideas on the spot - new angles. You make not major changes but important modifications, that you can't do on a set. I do that because you have to be economical.
当我在外景拍摄的时候,你会在现场得到灵感——新的角度。你不需要做什么大的改变,只需要做一些重要的修改,这是你在片场做不到的。
It is impossible to devise a scientific experiment to describe the creation process, or even to ascertain whether such a process can take place. The Creator does not create at the whim of a scientist.
要设计出一种科学实验来描述创造的过程是不可能的,甚至无法确定这种过程是否会发生。造物主不是凭科学家的心血来潮而创造的。
