There are those who think that any creative enterprise has some worth. I do not agree
with this. I think a lot of art (and I am mostly talking about music/sound art, as
that is what I am most familiar with) is made just because people have become little
"art factories" churning stuff out just because they have the means of production set
up, and not due to any higher artistic impulse.
Josh,
Please elaborate on what you mean by a "higher artistic impulse". You mean like an
aesthetic innovation or just doing what is called "right work".
I constantly scrutinize all of my work seeking for a trace of worth in it, to see if
it could have any value to someone else besides me. It is rare that something passes
my censors.
I agree that self-control is desireable but too one must express the real thing with
the first white hot impulse and without second guessing yourself.
