The Power of Letting Go: My Biggest Creative Lesson Yet

[@shambien]

Since the last couple of years my workflow is exactly that: I let inspiration flow and I record improvisations and turn some of them into "tracks". I find that I am producing something much better and "alive" with this method. Will the market like it? I don't care too much. It's all about expression. Thanks for inspiring others to do the same. Let's bring back being humans.

[@askalotlmusic]

These philosophical videos are great man. They really help put things into perspective.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!

[@MerisUs]

We are fans of Oora. In your purest form❤❤❤

[@michaelkonomos]

Thank you for the vulnerability. That’s true courage. Not trying to impress but being your authentic self. We are all insecure. Some of us are brave enough to say so.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks Michael!

[@huggybeats]

Your performance video was one of the best raw & emotional performances I've seen in the KZbin Synth Community. Started the video right when I went to bed with headphones. It was a great moment!

[@OoraMusic]

thanks for saying that!!

[@literallyfiction]

You can definitely hear how raw and emotional that performance was. Music is magic.

[@toffchunks]

Love you’re authenticity thks !!!

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!

[@RogerWessel]

Beautiful and inspiring message 😍

[@cerico76]

Letting go of everything is the key to be free from our mind's limitations.

[@TronDawg]

I’m grateful for your insights. I feel blessed that we’re all on this journey together 🌊✨🌊

[@Neti499]

Great ! Follow your path, it's the best ...

[@touchthatdial]

“I did it for myself, making music my own way”. This. This is everything. Thank you for yet another deeply thoughtful and honest perspective on this strange, magical and frequently frustrating process we call making music. My challenge is I don’t yet know what my own style is. The problem is I love so many different styles of music and haven’t yet worked out my own voice. Not helped by the fact that health issues mean I struggle to play the instruments I grew up with and I’m in the process of moving into synths, samples and electronic music as an alternative to jamming with friends on the instruments I’ve played for 40+ years. Your words are wise and inspiring as always.

[@HousePlant_Ambient]

You’re the only creator that gives me GAS for wanting a Vermona Perfourmer so bad haha.

[@thomashorrobin5690]

Wise words, not only about creation but supporting creative space in a job workflow or home life

[@AndrewFMRG]

It’s about authenticity. And like you said, success comes when we stop trying to define it. Great quote Oora.

[@OoraMusic]

thanks! :)

[@SteveYeagerMusic]

I remember having to lay down after watching that jam, beautiful story!

[@OoraMusic]

T^hanks Steve!

[@aurumtree]

Ahhh.. what a refreshing video mate! I've had many jams in the past with some amazing gear and to be fair its only once in a while that the door opens and you become an instrument of a higher power. That tune you played was exactly that my friend.

[@Rolf_D]

Great, you discovered the real Power of Music. Becomming One with the Moment! Feeling the "Here and Now"!!

[@OoraMusic]

Yes! Thank you!

[@yourcitysleeps]

Very, very well-said Oora. Thank you for always sharing your vulnerability & humility and for being a true original. You are one of the greats and the world is a better place because you are in it.

[@malwida1022]

Just wanted to say that I really dig the color palette of this video, with the wonderful painting on the right and the muted warm tones on the left. Really pleasing style.

[@marob1]

Wow thanks so much for sharing the success of this brilliant magic moment from the heart! Even the story behind makes me trust doing further selfexploring in making music! Just doing my way in flow!

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

Absolutely beautiful message my friend🙌🏻❤️

[@OllieLoops]

Hey. Great video. I just discovered your channel via Ableton One Thing. Inspiring stuff. Keep up the good work.

[@yerko_squadrito]

You have become my favorite youtube persona. Thanks for your content

[@samprock]

That’s what it was! Loved it mate! Thanks for the background story. Pure outburst of accumulated creativity pressures. Capturing speck of a moment ❤ ….. wait … you are analyzing it, and I’m listening you analyzing it … 😂 …. I just go back and listen the beaut again. And I expect it to hit me unexpectedly just like last week. Cheers!

[@OoraMusic]

:D thanks for writing this

[@CamiloCarreroCAMC]

Que gusto escucharte hablar, cuando veo a un personaje grande y serio como tú en los videos, siempre pensé que tu forma de pensar poesía ser otra, pero es increíblemente grato verte en este video, hablando con sinceridad. Soy un maldito fan de los performances en vivo y por eso si contigo y me alegro de haberte encontrado. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@willswitchcraft]

awesome message.......................I've always found something very distinctive and identifiable about the majority of what I've found on your channel.............those outside voices, no matter what they say (good or bad) are never important when it comes to creating one's art...........an ongoing process that's more personal than almost anything else we do.................

[@modulove]

Feeling this soo much, the past year was incredible challenge but to get to the state of flow again gives faith. We'll said ❤

[@CamiloGaetePuga]

Thank you for sharing this.

[@GuItAr2CrAcK]

such a great video! I usually never comment on youtube but your message somehow resonates deeply with me. Thank you for your courage and openness. May you achieve everything you aspire and may you never loose yourself in this endeavour...

[@OoraMusic]

You are so welcome

[@983Ivans]

amazing words, amazing music. Keep it up!

[@rolymiller]

It was a great video, inspiring & it was a thrill to watch!! We could feel the flow & intention.

[@juanperezaure]

Good for you my friend! I believe this path will bring you much joy in your work. Thanks for posting this!

[@OoraMusic]

I hope so too!

[@GreyFool138]

The Way 😌 - thank you for sharing 🙂

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

Thank you! You certainly have an amazing individual talent, thus, celebrate such. I love your vids. When you get "lost" within the Vermona Perfourmer magic surfaces.

[@OoraMusic]

Thank you! 😊

[@TotallyFictional]

It was a cool performance and I could feel your involvement. That is exactly what I search for.

[@Somnambule]

Thanx a lot Federico, to share your experience🙏! I love your workflow with the Perfourmer and how you took your last track last week as one track recording…I love the workflow too to take trax in a single one track recording! It’s a magickal moment where the energies flow together, and you know, you do the right things;-) ….Best greeetz from the north of Germany🖖👽

[@itinerantghost]

Glad it worked out, my friend! It was fun to watch and listen to. 👏👏👏

[@Ikon_Sound]

we all have bad days but I think it’s always possible to have some fun and enjoy as you do 👊🏻

[@thomasbuck6250]

Man, this video came to the right time. Subbed!

[@MAXVW909]

Man, I felt this. Always great videos Oora! I had a similar experience when I got the Pulsar-23, for the first time (in a long time), I actually feeI like I'm making my music.

[@OoraMusic]

Right on!

[@TilliKommunikation]

As always, many helpful tips.

[@palmlessprayer]

Thank you for sharing your experience of letting go. I really needed that right now. 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@OoraMusic]

You are so welcome

[@jeffreykuhn1071]

Very inspirational, thank you for sharing.

[@OoraMusic]

You are so welcome!

[@renevanderkraats224]

It really felt you were in your 'zone' that last video. You could just sense it. And don't worry too much about timely delivery of videos. I'd rather have a few less videos that are true, honest and inspiring, than more videos that are there 'just because it is expected of you'.

[@OoraMusic]

I appreciate that!

[@stevesm2010]

Thank You

[@TRXST.ISSUES]

Wonderful perspective. 4:16 🔥

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!

[@thamelmusic]

Thank you. Alignment, so true.

[@dybjo]

Thank you, that video made me explore your music on Spotify ☺️

[@OoraMusic]

thanks!

[@llcoolpete]

Inspirational bud - keep it up!

[@OoraMusic]

Thanks! Will do!

[@andreievkalupniek5717]

Thank you. This is inspiring! I have been playing with going more and more with the flow and planning to share it but the idea of the structure I need (cameras, lights, setup, recording, etc.) is still delaying me.

[@sleepisoptional]

capturing that spark is the hardest (and sometimes the easiest) thing to do

[@OoraMusic]

true!

[@nuenn]

That's exactly what I thought, when I saw your video last week - and, the art of letting go has a name (if you're interested): Wu Wei

[@chrisperpina6326]

Thanks

[@RobertDorschel]

The video you mentioned, that got a subscribe from me. Cheers.

[@Thegingerwolff]

We should totally hang out dude. I've been about the flow from the day i was born

big man strugling. the emptines that you seek to cover up is time that is needed to practise to play music. Are you playing it here? no. Are you playing it in general? no. You think about music like a photographer - thats your problem. and you try to do your music like a photographer. you try to distribute your musical ideas via hardware but not to play music. you like deep - so think about what is the difference between musical ideas and music. FYi - it is hard to watch how you strugle all the time.
