we're all a sum of our influences.

if it weren't for generations of culture, we'd all be in the woods grunting, eating worms, and trying to poke eachother with sharp sticks.

none of us are original. get over it

wow...um, I've got an original Leonardo Da Vinci to sell you. I mean, he didn't do it, but since we're all the same, you know...the sum of our influences, it's all the same.

ok. let's say i'm a drummer, and you're listening to me play music. are you just hearing me? or are you experiencing a smorgasbord of musical influences that include everyone who i've ever studied?

If you are listening to me play you are hearing a collective body of work, and my interpretation of it, played on an instrument that in it's own right is a collective product of decades of master craftsmen.
i'd be way lucky to be able to add to that art in an original sense.

it's really just another level of self-awareness. ain't none of us special. it's a lie
