What is inspiration?
The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something,
especially to do something creative.
[Oxford American Dictionary]
What is music?
Art of combining vocal or instrumental sounds in a harmonious or expressive
way; sounds so produced; pleasant natural sound.
[The Oxford Dictionary for the Business World]
Is it right? What do you think?
So: What is inspiration? What is music?
• What’s in the gap between inspiration and music:
Creativity? Routine? Sounds? Traditions? Innovations? Knowledge? Experiments? Know how? Obsession?
• Where is a place for Improvisation?
Creativity
CREATIVITY - a bridge from inspiration to music!
• Creativity is the ability to create wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn
• Creativity is a mental process involving the discovery of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the existing ideas or concepts, fueled by the process of either conscious or unconscious insight.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creativity
CREATIVITY - a bridge from inspiration to music!
• I think Creativity is an ongoing process. Creativity is an inspiration.
• I think Creativity is also a process of “Taking yourself to a Discomfort Zone – going beyond the limits of human perception, going for the unknown.”
• Am I creative? Are you creative? How to be creative in 21st century? Can we improve our creativity?
• What do you think?
Steps of The Creative Process in Music:
1. a reason for the composition
2. getting an idea
3. planning the composition
4. writing the details
5. critically evaluating
6. and editing the final product

Intercultural music
Let’s listen to several Lithuanian Sutartinės (en. Glee) – a unique example of Lithuanian
folk music.
Let me present you my version of Sutartinė.
Čiūta, čiuto Linėli, linėli Žvingia žirgas, dolia Buva dūda Vilniuj

SphereMatrix
Well… I still have to work with numbers.
However, Vitruvian man is about physical proportions of a human body.
SphereMatrix is about mental proportions of a human brain.
Where is the centre for this?
?
That is it! For now…
Thank You,Leonardo da Vinci for such a
great inspiration!
Thank You,My Family: Akvilė, Joris, Modė and
Viktoras for your support!
THANK YOU!
