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!!!!!
