This is for those of us who walk around the world looking for inspiration. We often find it in music and in people, but until today I’ve approached these topics separately.

I usually walk around with headphones on, focused on music, ignoring my surroundings except for the bare minimum — obstacles and crosswalks. Every once in a while I take them off and try to examine the world around me, a very visual experience where I think about each and every thing that I see on the street.

Today I realized you can actually combine these two techniques. Start listening to music you’ve heard before (new music requires a bit too much focus) and start observing the world around you. Your brain will naturally start aligning movements to the rhythm of the music, even if they don’t match in reality. It’s a neat way to have a new, artistic experience that engages both your audio and visual senses every time you go for a stroll.

Try it and let me know what you think! If you need an album to start with, I like A Rush of Blood to the Head.
