Playlist

The Dance of Creation and Destruction

As Rollo May expresses, the power of art lies in the synthesis of the elements of creation and destruction. While the artist can skillfully bring these two opposing forces together, the neurotic individual remains stuck at a destructive level. Both types experience the challenges of extreme individualization, with the neurotic individual succumbing to the pains of excessive consciousness and the relentless pursuit of perfection (May, 2015, p. 20).

Informed by these profound thoughts, my artistic creation, titled "Playlist," aims to express the complexity of emotions and thoughts. Each note represents an expression of a dance between creation and destruction. As music navigates through the tumultuous sea of emotions, it presents a striking synthesis of creativity and destructiveness.

This playlist touches upon the pains of over-individualization described by Rollo May. Each note is born from another, creating while simultaneously dismantling. Every chord echoes a internal conflict or rebellion. While music draws inspiration from neurotic pains, it also encompasses the effort to transform these pains into a piece of art.

"Playlist" invites you to embark on a journey into the complexity of the inner world through the depths of art. Each melodic touch attempts to capture a balance where emotions and thoughts sway between creation and destruction.

This piece, utilizing the power of music, offers a touch to the emotional complexities and internal conflicts of creativity. I invite you to this musical adventure where creation and destruction intertwine. "Playlist" inspires the goal of creating our own musical journey by battling internal contradictions, regardless of where we may find ourselves
