can you pull a card for me, please?
Okeydoke, here we go!
Your card is red, and it says:
Abandon normal instruments.
Here we should keep in mind that the Oblique Strategies was created by a musician to help himself when he became creatively “stuck” (though it is not just limited to those circumstances, and the advice indeed can easily be applied to life as well).
In the instance, questions you should be asking are, what ‘instruments’ are “normal” for you? Why should you abandon them (are they out of tune? beat up? cliche?). What ‘instruments’ should take their place, and how should the old ones be replaced?
(if you’re reading this and you want your card drawn as well, click here to send me an ask!)
