I made the mistake of playing this retro smooth synth funk music video to my toddler and it’s now become a multiple times daily ritual that we watch this extra-long-ponytailed man emote on his synthesizer. But I don’t mind because if my baby’s into synthesisers then as far as I’m concerned I’ve done my job as a father perfectly 👌

Lots to ingest in this talk on creativity by sculpture artist Tom Sachs! I love the bit about “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should” - I’ve often struggled with having lots of ideas and being buffeted about by them instead of choosing one and seeing it through to the end.
