I have an announcement for you all. I'm an ordinary woman.
I'm still playing Toro Puzzle every day...
[Retweeting announcement that Toro Puzzle is shutting down on May 10th] You're kidding...
If you don't have bread, why don't you eat sweets?
If you can't get a boyfriend, why don't you get a girlfriend?
I'm not at all saying that one is better than the other, it's just like if you started reading something you thought was porn, but it was a shoujo manga. (???)
If you think about it rationally, a person who listens to chord progressions and calls them "neat and tidy" or "sexy" is pretty nuts.
Originality is the result of the choices you make about your tastes, so I really like songs with a similar style to mine. Though when I see something called OSTER-like on my timeline and listen to it, I snap like "my music ain't this neat and tidy!!!"
You just have to keep at it until you figure something out, and have to put in the effort to notice. If you just repeat what you know you can do, you'll never break out of that area...
I think with both art and music, a graph of your skill wouldn't look like slope, it's a staircase. The times when you suddenly jump up a step are when you find something that goes well and figure out some kind of trick. That's why challenges are essential, and you can't give up even when you can't feel any change.
When you try to do something different from before, you usually fail, but keeping at it and trying different approaches, you can happen to find something that works well, and absorbing those coincidental good bits can expand the breadth of your style.
The theory of evolution says that rather than things gradually evolving, countless individuals are born with mutations, and only those that fit their environment survive as species. That makes me think of creation in the same way, where amid countless futile challenges, you find things that worked well even though you're not sure how, and the amassing of those over time forms originality.
