I wanna put it out there that I don't play or write for no label. No corporate marketing mechanism. That is not to say I don't want to sell records and make a living, that is to say first of all i play for me as a primal expression need. Second of all, for those who listen, who blast the record in their cars or headphones and sing along or dream away. Who find some kinda consolation, companionship or joy in the music. That's why. That's why I started, why I listen to music. When I listen to music most of the time it is to remember, not to forget.
Remember what's real, worthy, important. Remember as in regather. A lot of music nowadays sounds alike to me. A lot of the same thing. A lot of it seems to exist solely to make $$, to numb intelligence, creativity and, with that, freedom and authenticity. And a lot of it seems to be cool for a season or two, if that.
I met somebody in London who told me he produces music. "What kind?", I asked, “Oh, boybands, or anything else that makes money”, he replied. To me, that not a production of music. That, is a production of a product. With one goal the top of the list, which is not artistic or character development, life experience or love. I think this is so unfortunate. So much of art has gone lost these days. Designers don’t seem to create clothes for the sake of creating what the inner sub conscience brings out, screenwriters don’t seem to write movies for the sake of bringing a good message across. Through great dialog or scene building and actual life experience and wisdom. I think about 9 out of 10 movies that come out of Hollywood are made with constant presence of profit and common popularity in mind. As for albums. I mean, listen to Wish You Were Here. If it’s not your taste listen to some good old blues. Listen to Bob Marley, Joni Mitchell or Pavarotti or whatever your taste likes, but a good one, and you’ll hear that these guys weren’t making music to please masses and masses (even if that’s the case and it becomes part of it). They weren’t playing with the preconceived idea of how it should sound when ready. They were just fuckin doing it.
Here’s the 8 minute intro of Shine On You Crazy Diamond. They’re just playin!! And it is of indescribable beauty! They’re not thinking of how well that would sell while creating it. All that, of course, comes in afterwards and is part of it, but now whilst creating!! And that, exactly, is, I think, what has gone lost too often. Preconceived marketing mechanisms and creations have been given the name of art by many and it is not. That’s something what’s inside and comes out because it simply needs to, not too fill wallets or egos.Contact
