Today's Strategy: If sounds are noise but not words, are they meaningful?
Feeling like you're in a creative rut or just stuck on a certain song? The man got you down? Back in 1975, musical auter Brian Eno and his friend, the painter Peter Schmidt, devised a deck of 100 cards they called Oblique Strategies. Designed to provide a more tangential method of dealing with creative pressure by guiding the user away from beating one's head against a proverbial wall, they featured such sage advice as "Honour They Error As Hidden Intention" and "Stop". RPM HQ will be providing a new daily strategy for the duration of the challenge with the hopes that these worthwhile dilemmas may inspire, assist and occasionally infuriate. |
