The Sound Philosophy - Hardcover
About this item
by Curse Mackey (Author), Cliff Hensley (Editor)
A practical system shaped through an audit of lived experience.
A field manual for musicians and other independent artists, writers, or creators of all stripes, looking for clarity, discipline, and momentum instead of stagnation.
A toolkit to overcome resistance, avoid distraction, and end procrastination.
Curse Mackey calls it, "The Sound Philosophy."
In the wake of the Pandemic, lifelong working musician and visual artist Curse Mackey was, like so many, facing life on hard mode. Rather than give up, he undertook a months-long reflection through daily journaling.
During this process, he mined his many years of real work in touring, recording, publishing, curating, running creative businesses, losing momentum, regaining it, rebuilding, rebranding, and trial-and-error. From these experiences, he rediscovered the hard-won lessons acquired across decades living the art life in the creative trenches. And then, he committed to applying them daily in a disciplined, practical, common sense, and no-nonsense way.
The end result?
His output and opportunities didn't just return to their previous highs; they catapulted to greater heights.
The Sound Philosophy is a standalone book that also serves as an entry-level introduction to Curse's process, reworking portions of his journals, illustrative road stories, and anecdotes into 100 micro essays that lay the foundation for a practical, sustainable approach to creative living, which will be expanded upon more deeply in future works.
