OBLIQUE STRATEGIES

One of the most unique collectable items I ever got. A card-based method for promoting creativity jointly created by musician/artist Brian Eno & multimedia artist Peter Schmidt, first published in 1975. Each card contains a gnomic suggestion, aphorism or remark which can be used to break a deadlock or dilemma. A few are specific to music composition; others are more general. A 1975 LTD Edition deck #132 of 500 copies."
