This is so great. I've studied jazz improvisation privately with a great accomplished artist. He would let me improvise choruses on jazz standards with artificially set limitations. For instance, we would improvise one chorus only chord tones; another chorus with just triplets; yet another chorus maybe just using the intervals of fourths and sixths. These exercises opened a whole new worlds of musical expression for me. Indeed, limitations can be the source of great creativity.
This is great in the realm of creativity and work. I'm wary of those people who listen to such ideas and overgeneralize them into the fields of ethics and objective truth claims. This is just a piece of the interview, perhaps that distinction was made later on to narrow the subject in its proper domain.
Why exactly does Rick get to wax philosophical about being creative? Last time I checked, being creative actually entailed, you know, *creating something* This dude hasn't written a single song or even lyric in his life, he plays no instrument, doesn't mix or master, and generally, all he seems to "contribute" to the recording process is lying on the couch and saying "I like this, I don't like that" before bouncing and not showing up again for several days.
yeah but he sees how this works in terms of artist's psychology and its relation to the end result. Precisely because he hangs around the studio and gives advice to musicians, he gets to observe how that works and be objective about it - also he has much experience being in that position; having worked with dozens of very different individuals he's obviously seen a lot. He's also articulate and seems to have ideas on how creative process works, while many actual artists likely wouldn't (well, many likely would, but also others would be to wrapped up in their own subjective perspectives - or wouldn't be able to articulate it well). As to not contributing to the recording process, Brian Eno was also accused of that - not a real producer, didn't usually play, mix/master, whatever. Still - perhaps the single person who's had the most impact on a lot of the (legendary) albums he's worked at - and did that by influencing the musicians' ways of thinking and creative methods.

💕 can never have too much creativity…right?
Regarding the "fewer choices is better" comment, it's interesting to me that the great screenwriter, Terry Rossio, said the same thing.
Steve Vai told us at a private clinic before a show you can set parameters but within those parameters the opportunities are endless
