It's not trying to be cool.
It's not trying to play something cool that my bass teacher I used to have would like.
It's just trying to get into, yeah, the flow state.
Yeah, I mean, so, you know, there are a handful of classical composers who have said that they do their best work when they're half asleep, maybe just waking up in the morning or just about to fall asleep at night or meditating.
And that's what I find playing music, that it's not that I'm asleep.
It's almost like I can conjure up and feel and see images from my night dreams while I'm in the middle of the jam on stage with all the people around.
Yeah, I feel like I can get into a flow state and even stay in it while there's still an observer in the back of my brain figure kind of keeping track.
So I think the flow state is more, what's the word, malleable than we realize.
But that doesn't mean it's easy to cultivate and to get there in the first place.
Versus the background noise, which is just maybe static from your muscles.
Exactly.
I take it as a compliment.
It doesn't mean that I'm the alpha male or anything like that.
Yeah, well, I...
I'm a project person, and I just came up with this idea is I want to make a thing, which we're calling Zenbox, X-E-N-B-O-X, and they could use it, maybe a musician or a singer, and use biofeedback to get into a flow state.
And then the incredible neurologists like Greg and some others came and the research came because we needed to figure out how to translate what's going on into some usable information.
Yeah.
I mean, honestly, I feel like I don't know that I'm making the device for me.
I want to make it to share it with the world.
And it's also just an excuse to talk about all this stuff by having the device.
