Dear Kompoz..... This is my very first blog... EVER.. I'm not sure even what blog means (and I'm an IT guy!), but I'm going to type anyway and see what happens. My topic is basically Kompoz and the great outlet this has become for me to once again dabble in original music. I say dabble because it is nothing like a real band situation when creating music but it does add an interesting aspect.... that aspect is anonymity... When your face to face with someone you have to be somewhat genuine, or you get sniffed out real quick. It's very hard to hide short comings when your live and having to blend with other musicians in real time. I have always liked live performance and I still feel there is no substitute, but I also know that I will probably never get that privilege again. So.... This is my new playground! And I have not been doing well getting adjusted...:) But I hope to do better, I am just having a difficult time adjusting to all the absolutely great music that is taken so casual... I am just floored by that... it seems like good song writing is so trivial now with it being so much easier to access and learn. I have listened to no less than 2 dozen excellent tunes on Kompoz, I don't mean oh I think there good in some kind of "family" way, I'm talking about world class make sume bucks on the radio kinda good... And it's a big WOW to see them get sliced, diced and invited to the pot luck and completely shredded.... But I'm doing better...) I have new Meds! All of you wonderful musicians and song writers, I am humbled by your abilities and I will do my best to fit in better and learn how to let things go.... But I will probably never trivialize good music.... I am trying to learn to have fun... and that not everything needs to be perfect all the time..... So for everyone that I pissed off, stepped on your toes or was to "honest" in my critique, I am sorry... I'm just trying to create the best music I can and if I can help others do the same in the process, well then that's more people that get a win. Thanks! End ramble...... |
