THE RSK IS REAL!!!!!

The artistic process of songwriting, do you write the lyrics first, or do you write the music. These questions often plague new musicians who find themselves unable to medium for the universe. It is the overthinking that keeps them from greatness. As I've seen repeated again and again in my own artistic process. To spend too much time on a work of art is to make it worse. To put too much thought into the creation of art is to decrease it's quality. This project was an exploration into all of the extremes of this with it's realization finally in some of the best works having been given the least amount of thought. The creation of music and art truly is best when the artist makes themself a medium for the voice of the universe.
