IDK’s first mental block provides the opportunity to explore the lessons learned during the bkwalaBEATS project. One of the main lessons explored here is that of establishing a consistent practice and committing to it especially when it’s difficult to connect to the process itself. There’s power in recognizing that what’s being documented on an “off day” has plenty of value, and actually might expand into new creative dimensions. By limiting creative output to periods of “connectedness,” one stands to compile a fairly one-dimensional body of work.

In episode 3 of IDK, Gabe stumbles through one of these “off days.” Whether it makes for entertaining content remains undetermined; undeterred, Gabe pushes through and explores the doubts that arise throughout the process.
