The ideas in this episode are from
Samuel Andreyev
, who's a composer, oboist and professor. His YouTube channel is devoted to analysis of contemporary works, as well as interviews with musicians and composers.Share
00:43
Now let's dive into the key ideas. The first idea comes at 27 minutes, where
Samuel
says, "Constraints breed creativity."Share
00:53
We often think that the less constraints there are, the better. And in some cases you want to break free of your constraints, but in many they help you become much more creative. Without constraints, we have nothing to bounce ideas off of, nothing to make connections with. We become alone in the wild world of infinite possibilities, and our creative soul just gets easily lost.

The second idea comes around 41 minutes, where
Samuel
says, "Music is the language of the soul", no translation needed.Share
01:30
It can make us feel things without the need for us to interpret them, because it speaks to our sense below our own consciousness. For two different nations or races to unite, there's no better means than music.

01:45
The third and final idea comes at one hour where
Samuel
says, "In order to be properly free in your creative work. There needs to be something predictable in your daily life."Share
01:56
The reality of creative work is that there is chaos and uncertainty with everything you're doing, which requires to be counterbalanced with stability and reliability in daily life. You want to have order in everything that can be ordered, so that you can tolerate the risk that comes with creative work and endeavors.

A question that we think is worth reflecting on after listening to this episode is, can you think of a situation where constraints led to more creativity?
Share
02:27
So those were some of the best ideas from the episode. Some of the other topics covered include how just being creative and good at your job is no longer enough nowadays. The importance of genres in creating a listener expectation, and how the most important thing to do is to practice relentlessly.
