Inspiration is a creative tool designed to assist music composers in overcoming creative blocks and exploring new musical ideas. Drawing influence from Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies and various songwriting techniques, this application delivers random, abstract advice that encourages fresh approaches to music creation. It offers guidance for breaking through writer's block, developing existing songs, composing quickly, and experimenting with alternative musical directions.

Unlike a simple adaptation of Oblique Strategies, Inspiration integrates multiple thematic advice sets including Horizontal Strategies, Frustrated Songwriter's Strategies, and Advancing Guitarist strategies, among others. Each piece of advice is tagged by instrument, theme, or abstraction level, enabling users to filter suggestions to suit specific creative needs. This targeted approach empowers musicians to focus on areas like harmony, motivation, rehearsal techniques, or sampling, tailoring their creative process effectively.

Inspiration also features an intuitive editor that lets users build and share custom advice sets reflecting their unique workflows and goals. This flexibility supports personalized practice routines, composition plans, and exercise lists, enhancing productivity and inspiration. While the software offers rich creative support, it does not replace musical skill or expertise, nor does it generate music automatically. Instead, it serves as a stimulating companion to spark creativity and guide composers through their musical journeys.
