Lane Arye’s book, Unintentional Music: Releasing Your Deepest Creativity, shows how the “mistakes” we make while playing, singing, or creating can lead us toward great music, profound experiences, personal transformation, and wellsprings of creativity.
Lane Arye, a musician himself, focuses on the music that people do not intend to make. Applying the ideas of Process Work, developed by Arnold Mindell, Ph.D., Lane has been teaching students around the world how to awaken their creativity, using music as the starting point, but including all art forms and ways of expression. You may not consider yourself a musical person, but this book can help you find a wealth of unsuspected creativity-a kind of creativity that goes way beyond music.
The unintentional appears at moments when some hidden part of us, something beyond our usual awareness, suddenly tries to express itself. If we start paying attention to what is trying to happen rather than to what we think should happen, we open the door to self-discovery and self-expression beyond what we could have imagined.
The book is rich with real-life stories, ideas, and practical techniques for unlocking creativity, which Lane dispenses with humor, insight, and enthusiasm. It will leave you inspired and wanting more.
