Scenario

When creative friendships become creatively limiting through familiarity

My closest friend and I have been making music together since college and we've reached this point where we both know exactly what the other person is going to suggest before they say it, but instead of feeling harmonious it feels creatively claustrophobic. We're too comfortable and it's making our music safe in a way that bothers both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Deep creative intimacy has calcified into predictability that stifles genuine artistic risk.
