I used to not think I required much in terms of a studio space. I'm good at improvising and using what's immediately available. I think that being in new spaces and atmospheres is good as a stimulant, so I should always make an effort to get into new situations of creation. However, I have found that certain conditions improve my productivity in major ways. I believe that over time these requirements or preferences will evolve, but that I should definitely try to develop these kind of spaces to work in whenever available.
conditions:
-complete control of audio, visual, and personnel variables.
-I like to have different things happening in the studio most of the time that I'm working. These include mainly music, podcasts, soundcloud mixes, or movies, and sometimes people. So speakers, a computer, wifi access, and a projector are awesome. I usually work best when alone though. Having complete control of these variables helps a lot.
-ability to close myself off from the external world without unwanted interruptions.
-locks and personal keys are ideal. I can have who I want visit when I'm open to it and don't have to worry about weird vibes in the studio.
-big space
-I like to move around a lot and not feel cramped. This also allows me to make a greater variety of pieces
-well-stocked with lots of different things
-having a versatile storage of different tools, materials, and spaces really helps me in exploring different avenues and combinations of making.
-freedom of space interaction
-I need to be able to draw on walls and break stuff.
-all hours access
-separate from sleeping place
-having a bedroom/studio is depressing af
-adderol
-I've found this helps me with productivity more than anything else.
-whiteboard
-Sketchbooks or notes are good but whiteboards help in a different way for me.
-outside access
-I need to feel very separated but be able to get out
-decoration
-I need to have all my favorite things around me
