When democratic creative processes stifle artistic spontaneity

Our band has been together for four years and we've always prided ourselves on being democratic about creative decisions, but lately it feels like our commitment to consensus is actually preventing us from taking any creative risks. Every song becomes a committee decision and we're losing the spontaneous energy that made our music interesting in the first place.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The structures meant to ensure equality can inadvertently flatten the very creative tensions that generate compelling art.
