Channeling art

[RitaJC]

Is the art we make channeled from outside the self or does it come from inside? (Yeah I know everything's inside us, I mean inside the ''human brain'')

Most of the time when I write music, I hear a few seconds of an instrument part then I write it down, then I hear the next five seconds for example and add it to the song.

So the composition is kind of an slower improv this way. it gets faster as my ear gets familiar with intervals (distances between notes).

This is the main method I seem to like.

Where am I extracting this info from?

I sometimes fear I'm plagiarizing without knowing. because some of the lines seem very familiar.. I can't recall where I've heard them though.

Also, where is the originality if many extract such info from one source? and if this source is infinite which is likely, then why are they so similar?

Are we all giving our own ''interpretations'' of the same things?

What would be your answers to those questions?

And why are these questions important to you?
