Being an artist isn’t like your regular 9-to-5 job where you clock in, do your work, then once you clock out you’re back to your “normal” mode.
Because of the way an artist’s mind works, flashes of inspiration can come at the unlikeliest times, such as when brushing one’s teeth or simply staring out the yard while drinking a cup of coffee.

Because of the amorphous nature of the artistic mind, one cannot constrain creativity to a certain time period. This is why artists are often given more leeway when it comes to working. Those working in ad agencies know, for example, that artists sometimes need to just step back, watch a movie or even just eat out just to get their creative juices flowing.
But for some people, the juice just keeps on flowing no matter where they are or what they are doing. Such is the case for one music producer who uses even the most ordinary sounds as inspiration in crafting his music.
Drew Domalik, 26, is new to fatherhood but has even used that to help inspire his music. He uses hospital sounds, the cries of his baby, and the beeps of hospital machines during an emergency visit as the basis for the beats he’s producing.
He works out of his house in Canton, Georgia, and for him, no noise is a disturbance because he can transform any noise into a crucial ingredient to his music.
Drew said: “I first started sampling real-life sounds 10 years ago just for fun.
“A basic beat sometimes will only take five to twenty minutes, but a full song can take days to create, it just depends on the context.”
This guy is not only dedicated to his craft, but it also looks like he’s in no danger at all of having the so-called mental block that artists sometimes experience when they just can’t proceed because no inspiration comes to them.
