Mnemosyne was the goddes of memory occurring to ancient Greek myths . 

She gave birth to the nine muses of art.

 

Without remembering, we can not create at all or being innovative.

According to Mnemosyne I write my music because I remember "something".

So, what is it that I remember and how are these musical memories tranformed 

through my creativity to become a piece of music?
