Уродливый, но честны
So, Pin has agreed to do an interview with me for my creative process class in University. My interview will solely consist of talk about the writing process and creativity, but other people have expressed interest in an interview and Pin has said he'd be more than happy to answer a few questions. So anyone with any questions about gear, or pretty much any questions I haven't though of, post them up in here!
I will be sending Pin my interview questions today because my assignment is due in 6 days, but we can send him the rest of our questions when we've accumulated a good number of them, and post the whole interview when it's all done
Here's what I've got so far:
1.How would you define creativity?
2.What, would you say, is a creative person?
3.When it comes to writing music, what are your main inspirations?
4.How has your writing process evolved over the years? Did it change when you started playing with other musicians?
5.How does the technical/theoretical side of things interact with your creative output?
6.Being a guitar teacher and a successful musician, does playing the guitar ever start feeling like a chore or a job? How does that effect your playing?
7.When a band reaches a certain level of success, people come to expect more and I understand that can be intimidating, and possibly even hindering to some artists. How has this sort of thing effected your creative output?
8.The music you played in Sikth is anything but conventional. Has it at any point, especially at the beginning, been difficult to find an audience for what you were doing? If so, was it discouraging, and did it effect your playing/creativity?
9.Now that Sikth is done, I understand that you have been working on some new projects, Within the Void and Aliases. Considering that Within the Void is a band with members all over the globe and Aliases started out as “the fun band”, how would you compare the writing/creative processes of these two projects? How do they compare to the writing/creative process in Sikth?
10.I've read that you've been experimenting with different tunings for these new projects after using some pretty basic tunings in Sikth. How has that changed your approach to writing?

I agree, they're pretty lame, but eh...
