I never set out to become a minimalist composer, but somehow I accidentally stumbled into a creative process that completely transformed my output.

What started as a simple experiment with my 2012 album Remote Location—recycling a bassline as a melody—turned into an ongoing game of "what can I get away with?"

And here's the weird part: by giving myself fewer options and looser constraints, I ended up being way more productive.

In this episode, I break down how minimalism and gamification accidentally helped me increase my creative output by 700%, and how you can use the same approach to unstick your own creative projects.
