The late and fucking brilliant film director Robert Altman said this to me

"Don't ever think you can create genius or brilliance upon command or at will. The only thing you can create is the atmosphere that you think it is most likely to occur in. And that is all you need to be concerned about"

It applies to everything. And it is Absolute.

I had misplaced it in my mind during a full scale attempt to achieve an epiphany plan and was the sole reason for its failure. I am giving this to anyone for help with theirs

His last meal was comprised of popcorn and refried beans

He was a genius by Academic Standards, but then again, you never know which way them IQ's are gonna go ? I think the term genius is tedious and only applies by way jury of ones peers. It is something that happens, and is never planned. One plants ones garden and attends to ones work and rather stumbles in to such a thing by way whatever ignorance is left over from the talent and skills of the day... or night ... depending. Sometimes dinner is eaten early early in the mornings. That Altman layed many a golden eggs, a person could eat them every day for breakfast and still never create such works.

7/30/2008 6:22:41 AM

Don't let your atmosphere get in the way of your art, either.
Listen to your inner voice... and follow its directions.

Some folks can hear it more clearly than others. Then there are those, like most of us, who have a hard time hearing our true inner voices through all the noise that surrounds us.

I feel like I, myself, have only just begun to really hear that little inner voice. I just hope that I am hearing enough of it to create something truly original.

We all have the capacity for genius.
It's a matter of being able to hear more than what is around you.

GENIUS
I was touched by the hand of genius once and I reported them to the police and they spent six months in jail with mediocrity as a cellmate and came out a reformed and non the wiser character.. the last I heard they were living a 'NORMAL' life and a very happy existence within themselves and all the other ex-geniuses in a commune on the Isle of Sheppey.. they only have one rule and that is never to talk to anyone...I repeat anyone... about their great achievements at least not in public and the other rule is to gently remind people now and again of their past great achievements...

I once wrote one of my best songs in the Water Closet waiting for the second movement.. :) Creativity or "genius" does not have an on and off switch. Perhaps the atmosphere you speak of is not in the physical realm, but in the Mind.It is important that your state of mind is free of distraction and open to receive your art. Inspiration drifts freely, it cannot be forced.

To carry the feelings of childhood into the powers of manhood, to combine the child's sense of wonder and novelty with the appearances which every day for years has rendered familiar, this is the character and privilege of genius, and one of the marks which distinguishes it from talent.
-- Samuel Coleridge (1772-1834) English poet

7/30/2008 10:55:48 AM

poppycock, poppekak, meaning to show excessive religious zeal, but literally means “as fine as powdered doll shit”. The word was presumably taken to the USA by Dutch settlers;

Just wondered what you had in mind with your name, are you suggesting that you always talk rubbish ?

anyways, I just think one man's genius and brilliance is another man's happy accident hard to draw a line where these ideals and attributes start and finish. The terms are used so easily now. Is a footballer really a genius on the field and is it really a brilliant idea to go for a coffee bah!

Jeff, That is exactly what he was talking about. It applies to everything. Material, Physical, Mental, Emotional, Etc.. When shooting his Films. They were always shot on location in the city and country that perfectly represented the environment of the __script in size, architecture, politically and socially. He never shot in sound stages on built sets, even though it's much more time consuming and difficult to film in the actual locations. He wanted not only the actors but even the Key Crew members (Camera, Production Design, Props, Wardrobe etc) placed into houses scattered within the community instead of all at the same hotel.

Your greatest song was the easiest to write. As if it was already written. All you had to do is clear a path for it to come out.

I am also a camera operator in the motion picture industry and had the amazing epiphany experience of living, working and learning with/from Altman.

We are all Artists. We are all creators

7/31/2008 1:01:08 AM

Very Cool, sounds like a great experience!

7/31/2008 1:06:19 AM

It takes a genius to create such an environment!

7/31/2008 2:46:18 AM

Susan that's what I thought as well.

Robert explained that once the atmosphere is set in place you almost have no control at all. It creates itself. You can try to guide it or gently move it in the direction you think is needed. You are there to support and to capture the results. It may be exactly as you intended. It may end in a total failure (As many of his films did. But failure only in the terms of profit). It may grow into something completely different you never even considered.

He created an atmosphere and gave an opportunity for a moment of brilliance and genius to occur. And for Altman it did many times. That was his Genius

8/1/2008 4:08:02 AM ---- Updated 8/1/2008 4:17:19 AM

PoppyCock - I Gotta say, I like your reasoning. He was truly a GREAT director, and one of my wife's fav's... So if this advice is really from him, it's no suprise that it is SOUND.
I've experienced a musical vortex in the last 8 years, with ever-evolving songs and musicians, and I believe it's because our bizarre ARTFEST Haus of Music & ART actually CREATES this Altman type of environment. And I'm obviously NOT a genius, but what the MUSE brings out amongst the collaborators in this Home-Practice Space-Underground Haus Partymusical VORTEX, has sometimes been NEAR genius. And that's whether or not I'm lucky enough to be a participant. I try to direct traffic, but I swear to god, sometimes the thing takes on a life of its own. The only sad thing is it will need to come to an end soon, as we are preparing to move to the UK, and then I'll try to create that same vortex (hopefully the muse will follow), in a studio/CLUB environment.

My family will be SO happy, to have the Muse VORTEX move OUT of the house! but hopefully there'll be a muse or two hangin' around the family, at home too when we're in England.

Eye believe that if you believe it, it will happen as you say.

8/2/2008 12:07:54 AM

Phlegm,
I can assure you it came from Robert's lips. But nonetheless the answer to its truth will be proven without a doubt in endless numbers. If you can look at the past good, bad, brilliant, disaster. Then look at the atmosphere surrounding it will all make sense.
And when you actually create from this as your one rule of structure. It will take a life of its own. In the end you need not be a genius (Something given from opinion of others mostly) to create (Creation is Also allowing creation to occur) a moment of brilliance while captured/recorded for its use by others.

Your little creation compound sounds pretty smooth. And I know you will create the same in the UK when you move. You can count the brilliant moments you've had over your entire life quite easily. And most do not last long at all. Maybe 5 seconds, 2 minutes or 3 still images from your memory. But they have the strength to carry you all the time in-between. Being truly alive is to have the vision, seek, create, support, recognize and experience your next one.

I'm just picking meself back up off the floor!!!

Man-----------when we first came to this site your song "Feel Me " was in the top few songs at iac --and first in genre!!

It was one of the songs we added to our very first station----and to tell the truth the standard scared us more than a little-----

ewe are a benchmark here!!!!

8/2/2008 10:33:08 PM

Wow thank you Silverwood. I have to say the emotional level that your tracks are on is impressive. I come from an emotional story point of view as far as a songwriter. For me songs write themselves and come more as a feeling. I have always believed that for a truly great song every word, voice, breath, instrument and each single note played must be at the emotional level within the story. The truth will always cut through and will be felt by all in every language.

8/2/2008 11:07:24 PM

wow. That's a high callin' for coordinatin' all those musicians, to be feelin' what you are, as you have written and as you play the song. You're passionate folk Poppycock!

8/3/2008 2:44:57 AM

I am not saying that I have ever accomplished it. So many things have to be in place for even a chance at it happening. First the track has to come from the soul and have a true relevance to everyone. You must have nothing but brilliant musicians who approach music on a songwriter level. They have to be selfless to play for the song and within each other. And every word must be sung with the accurate emotional level as well as technical. Then it must be captured the moment this all comes together. The odds are huge. But if you do not approach it with this is mind most likely it won't have a chance.

It all goes back to the atmosphere

Satro & PopiKoK

8/3/2008 3:06:31 AM

Very lofty approach, but I'm havin' a challenge right now just getting the other musicians to show up consistently, when they SAY they will. Maybe I'll find some folks of like-mind when we get to the UK....

8/3/2008 8:21:42 AM

The creative impulse is constantly at work in the tiniest atom as well as in the largest galaxy and up. We can align ourselves with this process and it will flow and create through us, effortlessly and perfectly. We can also block the flow by demanding credit for what is being created, i.e. by saying: I did this, I wrote this, I created this....
You can make these claims publicly to play the game, follow the law, etc., as long as deep within you acknowledge that you were only the channel, the tool.
this is my modest opinion. Have a great day!

Although interpretive the video also equates to sense of sense, self in others, and the fact there is more than what you can see in anyone's life, and even to your own. I like the play on microcosms/macrocosms and also how that relates to community and the consequential relay of perception and misperception. I certainly don't know everything, and I don't proclaim to either, especially when it comes to the lives of others as misrepresented which then can have a grand scale effect in that person's life, apply this in a global sense then to all our lives, in each moment, it's up to us the choices we make, and what we do or say about our lives. To the victims of hate... care, compassion and love will heal.

8/12/2008 2:16:22 AM

Yes I believe what you are saying follows a truth. And I also have no concern for the future of the planet and evolution of the Human species. But it is overwhelming evidence assuring an absolute as to the super speed and massive evolutionary advancement for the entire race coming into play. What I cannot see is the route of events that will allow its travel to occur. In most cases I have realized that the largest and most complete positive advancements come out of the worlds worst horrors and disasters. They end up creating an atom splitting catalyst for some of the worlds greatest advancements for the entire human population. This is one of the largest displays of brilliance in the world. The worst creates the best. Life is so brilliant.

However I am in the belief that at a certain point we will be beyond the need for our own creation of the above route and we will find the language, frequency, tone, energy, emotion it is to communicate in truth at the soul. I am hoping for this one but I feel it needs our help to occur. History has very few examples. Now is the time.

One wish. To be able to watch evolution

Satro & PopiKoK

8/13/2008 7:43:15 AM

I feel such empathy for people abused by misjudgments. Applied greed, and hate by any source, large or small reflects the current state of the world. We are creators by the choices we make... our language, frequency, tone, energy, and emotion are some of those tools. We watch our lives evolve, just look at life in retrospect, by the choices you've made and you'll see how life progressed. Applied in a global scale, we see our combined choices and perceptions in each moment driving the next experience of life. By nature life evolves without us, yet it is also in a constant state of potentiality.

8/14/2008 1:00:37 AM

I understand that to be one of the confirmed forces that contribute to the present and future. I also know that the energy created by our approach (Greed, Anger, Love) will factor in the outcome. Let's hear about your experience with all the great knowledge your able to retain. I am interested in its use and effect. And in your interpretation from a firsthand basis. Thats the only thing you can be sure of. It's the present that has all true value. It is the past that can help direct the presents attention. This site is brilliant in it's contributors and the comments made seem to work well and gather involvement. Your intelligence is important to the subject matter not the faults of the contributors. We can take things much further this way. I can see there is a past history here that plays out frequently in many of the comments written from personal relationships.

I am not sure how many exist, but I have been given a couple and will hold a wide field of vision to spot the next.

Maybe not the meaning of life but bits of wisdom shaped at & from the core of life and humanity are around and in our world. I have realized that although so correct, beautiful and seemingly simple , very very few of us are gifted with what should be given from the start as the guides for life. I started this blog because I wanted to put it out for everyone to feel and also see what it could create. And to all that is the truth to our everything. I see many artists that seem to create while in another energy plane in their own separate part of our shared present moment.

I'm no Hippy. Or Post Disaster, Born Again, Spiritual Evangelist, In Hiding From Fear
Hard to deny Personal Epiphany miracle, born not from the ever debatable "faith", but set absolute in the physical world told in mostly material and confirmed from the language of science.

We are creators, which is easily seen from this site. I always appreciate your words as well as others, because we each bring that aspect to light. Not always fun, and life is sometimes weird - thankfully there are moments to remind what it is to be alive, whatever that may mean individually to you. We each potentially share with such brilliance you mention.
