What if?

Why do we want to create new things?

From boredom to fulfilling real needs the reasons vary a lot. Here, however I'm interesting in the process of creating something new without having a clear plan in mind. Whether you sit in front of an empty sheet of paper, or with your favourite instrument, or most probably staring above a computer keyboard - there are times when armed with a few faint thoughts you're ready. Ready to play with ideas.

Mathematics, music, writing. This is not something you need to have completed by a certain time or need to stay in a budget. It is rather a challenge you set for yourself to discover something new. It is not a competition or even if it is, it is with the best opponent out there you care about - yourself.

You try and fail many times and sometimes it is exciting and you learn what works and what it doesn't and at other times you are simply out of energy and you waste time with nothing to show for it other than frustration. But you come back. Because in the end you have the time of your life.

I plan to write here about my journey of discovering music, writing, mathematics and other things unnamed that involve playing, with sounds, words, number, forms, and colours and about the question that often follows:

"What if?"

Lets start.
