‘Songs for the Journey from Heartbreak to Hope’
Brian Eno took apart the idea that creatives work as lone geniuses by coining the term “scenius”. People create within community and alongside each other. They are part of a scene. Creative people bounce ideas off of each other and dig each other’s work. They are friendly critics of each other, building each other up and inspire one another to reach higher.
