An Introduction to The Remix Method

My upcoming video course The Remix Method is the product of nearly 20 years of creative experience. This is the very method behind the Everything is a Remix series, numerous personal projects, and commercial work for clients like The New York Times, Bloomberg, Discovery, CNN, and more. This course represents a lifetime of creative insights.

What is The Remix Method?

Simply put, The Remix Method is a system for capturing pieces from your experiences and transforming them into creative works.

These experiences can be:

Your lived life: your personal history, your conversations, your travels, your relationships, your job, your struggles, etc. 

Media: the net, movies, books, podcasts, games, documentaries, etc. 

The Remix Method is about taking material from life and media and remixing it into new creations.

It’s a system of frameworks, tools, ideas, and even some tips and tricks, that cultivate creativity and help you see projects through to completion. It’s delivered in the format of a two-hour-plus video course, along with an assortment of resources like worksheets, infographics, and documents.

Who is The Remix Method for?

The Remix Method is designed for anyone working on solo passion projects across any media form. I believe the simplest and best way to create projects like these is to make them for yourself. As John Romero, the co-creator of Doom, put it.

We were making games that we wanted to play. We weren’t worried about audience. We were the audience.
John Romero

Make it because you want to make it and believe there are more people like you. This course is about creating in your spare time, to the best of your abilities, without going off the deep end of perfectionism.

The Remix Method is about creativity in all forms. With this method you can create projects, big and small, in whatever medium you like.

This isn’t about rules

There are no rules to creativity. The Remix Method helps you create the conditions from which creativity will emerge. The creating part you do on your own. And there are no rules for that. As Rick Rubin put it.

Rules direct us to average behaviors.
Rick Rubin

There is no formula. So I don’t have a formula.

But I do have… a framework.

See what I did there? 😉

But seriously, this is a different approach, and in a very important way. I'll explain why next week.
