You're both reminding me why I'm glad I didn't pursue music as a
career. *whew* - it's the repetition that was maddening to me. I
was supposed to go to Julliard at 11... after some special
lessons, told my mother "please no" 'cause I could see it was
going to be practice practice practice, to finer and finer
grained levels of perfection... and I didn't like performing for
an audience even. I could've done it... but I'm glad I didn't.
Even today, I just make music and stick it somewhere online or
part of some video thing I'm messing with and move on. I'm not
looking to make money at it or get recognition. I neither liked
people's accolades (although they can be nice) or their
criticisms (and my OWN criticisms about my own stuff far
overshadows the worst any critic could throw at me) - and I
really just didn't want to go through all of that. Kudos to
those who can. == I think that should be a basic human right.
Make noise. Judgement-free. No awards. No critics. Just do it
for the sake of it. == Creativity killer #1: "Can you turn it
down a little?" ==
