Post- music

Ok this is a rant, or as i call it the truth of what is happening right now, music has lost its beauty and has become a way of making money, am shocked to how bands only do things for money and not for the love of music, if you look at what is "popular" right now, more about image and money than about the love of music, we keep harking back to what was popular and not creating anything new, i thought we were suppose to evolve?
I see musicians in so called musical city liverpool, who want to get paid, not want to play get paid, and its all about being in a band that does get paid, we are so wrapped up in ourselves, that making money is the first thought, what about music, you can see why the music has become stale and boring as most musicians don't take risks, its about what other people want and want to hear, not about what you like or feel, we are just making music for people and not ourselves, for me thats not being a musician, or an artist, thats selling out completely!

Trying to do something new or different is pretty much shunned by people and probably sniggered at, as in my band am not playing guitar solos or having a big drum sound, i am making music that i want to listen too, music that isn't out there, combining orchestral music with electronica and adding other influences as they arise, there are people who make this type of music, they are made by women mostly, bjork, imogen heap, kate havnivik, etc, but not many men, so i am creating something for me, music is personnel and if people get it and understand you, then your more than welcome for the ride, as for the rest of you, evolve or die!!!!!
