INSPIRATION “Do you get inspired by art that is an unformed image inside an artist’s head? By music that is a swirl of notes assembling over the rhythms of the soul?

I’ve just returned from a short break in Copenhagen (separate article to follow soon) and decided to take a side trip to Malmo in Sweden, which is a mere half hour train ride from the main station in Denmark and only twenty minutes from the airport. I don’t know what I was expecting but Malmo failed to live up to the images formed in my...
