August 6th, 2010 – I love TED presentations; I could waste all day watching them (and have). The talk below by Matt Ridley is about “idea sex”. While the sexification of the subject matter is a little iffy, I do agree with collaboration being a key factor in our personal evolution.
For musician/songwriter/producers, collaboration is an important part of expanding your own abilities. This may seem like an oxymoron, but working with someone else who has different skills and comes from a different background, will stretch you out of your comfort zone and help you develop a new repertoire.
Not only will you be exposed to a wide variety of sensibilities while being around different people, just being around people who share the same goal as you will inspire you. Not to mention the productivity that comes with bouncing ideas off of one another. The rapid development of ideas is a huge advantage of working with partners.
So what are you waiting for? Get out there and find people to make music with!
