Every act of creation is first of all an act of destruction. – Pablo Picasso

Very interesting duality. It reminds me of another old saying: “in order to know where you’re going, you need to know where you are from”.

The creative process is the realization of new ideas. In order to build, you have to understand the building blocks with which you’re creating.

I have so much respect for those that can tear apart something and create something completely different, new and exciting. Much of modern music is built upon this and, while naysayers like to cry afoul, the final product is often art in it’s own right.

This is one reason I’ve found chiptune music to be so intriguing. I’m not sure what would possess someone to hack a gaming console that was released in the 80s, but I’m happy they did. Enjoy.
