The real world of digital music production

Diarrhea "of" an enormous amount of "contemporary" pop, rap and rock (but not all!)

Do you know what happens when you live on a diet of dishes and fast food? When ever a fresh fruit or vegetable matter with your lips and your number of fibers is measured in "mg" instead of grams? You guessed it: that horrible "D" word. Also known in medical circles as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) –

So what happens to the equipment vomiting 75% of many contemporary folk artists? They say that the song is dead, so who killed him? Was the independent label movement? Of course not! Was the rap, punk or grunge or whatever? I mean, it could be. It was the first Madonna put the crack in "The Wall" of the song writing and playing instruments than previous generations so carefully began brick by brick? I do not know – for you, but for me, was a downhill ride since 1984.

I was one, well, that was in "the roots rock "kind of talk (thanks to an older sister took me to the Fillmore East in New York at the age of 14) – I was so naive as to ask about that "Funny smelling smoke" cigarettes and those seeking fun, and later thanked him, because I saw Santana live there when their second album (Black Magic Woman) even hit the stores.

I saw Pink Floyd in that place one year later, when they were still called: The Pink Floyd and had a work of an opening act before they left (ie, more Later, when the fame Views: Pink Floyd ALWAYS play only by his massive Wall speakers and equipment.)

I saw bands in New York now relics: Procol Harum Jethro Tull first incarnation, the answer is yes, Bob Dylan with The Band "! – Black Sabbath even after their first LP, and "Mott the Hoople "tour of their first LP. (Remember them? – An LP is an old vinyl record is played on a turntable. You will not" use the turntable to scratch "- and was made crackles. VIVA EL CD! And the mp3 as well) But I digress …

Where is this blog heading?

Today you can record and cut a CD in your bedroom. Then (if you have enough friends and a concert somewhere – or just use U-Tube) you can sell CDs to their fans, if you can get enough, you even make money, maybe! Everything can be done on your personal computer. Why, because you are a musician? "Frankly my dear no," as he said Gable. (Gable who? Say the younger readers?) Is all virtual marketing after …

In case you still naive as to how it is – that many of the artists today do not need to know about nothing about music, let alone spend years playing an instrument or sing – and yet up to the virtual Airwaves "and even complete in place Today Show, along with children singing "that regularly appear on websites and in" You-Tube. " Well, not even "RC" [read the record companies] Perhaps only a shrewd "Boomer and GenX" mom / dad Manager) … Yes, "Performance Now" and there is little to worry about music artists. The RC can be cut and still have absolutely no reason to complain! – The "Virtual Indie artists and Music" ruining their benefit.

They helped to "build the beast" the daily fear (and hope he eats his Creator as a sort of "Cannibal Baby Gone Wild).

And "they" benefits every day for the existence of a youth culture fueled "Music" industry "Heart & Soul" is composed of the jingle " snapping, banging empty metal "of a musical palette of sounds that is" and without soul ", as the heart of the King Beast himself (you know Devil "Sam", which is behind everybody's dream of a "career" Garden of Eden ") –

As for the babies "Singing" and "Sex-Toy Marching images" Twelve years something + "girly-woman – Parade through the video screens and Latin Virtual TV (occasionally) They and the parents pleasant + Boomer, are just hoping a couple spell "CASH" BIG TIME! – This is, of course, once your product "go viral …"

And so many of u "You-tubers" (Especially) the older viewers are "fooled again" – has (in anemic mental-lapses) left the "Hymn of his youth: "We Do not be fooled again" (who?), Y, breaking all the "guitar" instead of "Smashing" Those damn pumpkin "(Geriatric now!) …

All because "U" do not have the "dog fucking" SOFTWARE only I have to throw away! (I made a determination not to swear lately I do not want to break my will for now) – nothing against "real dog! – Although I am kind "one of those types of cat" … Please do not message my email, I love animals with four legs and others with two. (It is spiders and insects with multiple sections that have been giving me the creeps lately, but I live in a forest "real" …

He arrived in March: The last "stereo acquisition I knew it was going to be able to do for quite some time unless that – MY CD is "Viral" – (Very unlikely, since it does not own a video camera or even a camera digital) will be very hard to be on You-Tube or MySpace music with my "old fashioned way of making music" (and therefore useless work – not to mention that! – The unpaid work, hardly worth) – but that's aside the point:

In March (as I said) I bought a $ 100 desktop "plastic" two eighths Midi Controller Keyboard with my last savings, (two octaves means that only 25 black and white piano keys look) and with that wine (from this decptive "kraut" of the company) the "virtual music Desktop Composition of starter pack (A VMSDCP (!)) Complete with 50 of the "Latest" Digital Virtual sound and samples (the DVSS is!) that I thought my music was missing (?) – Or maybe, I had a series of "infidel" the doubts and the collapse of my first musical solve formed so long ago in those long hours and days behind "My Old Black and White … But again, I digress:

So even if the keyboard will be minimally useful to my desktop computer to edit and work notation attractions, and wonderfully (and they are really!) sound modern samples have not been able even to be tested with this "rat-like" labyrinth a software package! "They" (the "Company Kraut) sent me to my mind, $ 100 a lot of" demo "software" that "never", even paid – unfortunately, not much can be done with it! – If only after loading the DLL. The files that I could hear the damn things on a reliable basis. But yes, I like the names: ie, Delay Lama, B-Assault, AManalogWar, etc – endlessly creative indeed!

So when I finally got a few sound after much frustration musical use was questionable (to me I mean), unless you are deliberately avoiding musical references. But above all, there was this environment "of the artificiality of all of them" – This is the "world music known as" we are abandoning our young people, (I philosophically reflects, as I clicked without stopping and re- samples click with the mouse trying to get sound). "This is a world in which a real guitar or piano is primarily a support" " –

Somehow, every sound seemed to me the equivalent of "frozen entrees, processed" Every once in a while, a nice touch to a life busy and schedule; they eat regularly and "disease" going to be very rooted in time.

OK so I did not draw much musical sound palette today, but it is exactly that:

The "combination of software and music software" which is the foundation of Much of the rock and even pop out of the major studios today is not something that "miffs me" (believe me, I do not know that "Old-fashioned" I just like the old 40 movies). I understand too well, that was in the 1980s, when many young artists today, where even his "sperm Dad "from the long swim to the" canal of the mother ", I then spent countless hours hunched synthesizer" modern "building of these effects and sounds, but for myself, only with the manual of good old technology and the use of brand, filters, oscillators … and so on.

Today concert>>> You no longer compose music (especially "your musical soul") which downloads and combine the "pre-found" clips and rhythms included in the package. A soulless "and" No joy "in my process, but the view is not necessarily an instant easy. The result? "Everything you think you have this virtual seal" on it and it sounds like everyone else's voice in the box. "True, that way, but not worth the learning curve for me.

As (the) PINK FLOYD predicted way back in 74 with his song: "Welcome to the Machine") from the album "Wish You Were Here" from the machine is now as a voice and his soul is in the "box" even if you try to think musically "out of the box "… And I think: I love my Pink Floyd … and the bands of English in particular. His foresight is now coming to pass (ie: it is now true in reality as fantasy in its lyrics) … "Welcome to Digital Soul">>>

So the "soulless" world of modern and contemporary desk composing, now fondly goodbye … I and "my lonely soul" as a musical in some far Henry Thoreau "Walden Pond" on a border far from the "modern world" back to my "Digital Piano" at least has 88 "real-action keys and maybe later tonight for my" Old Black and White (Still resting peacefully in my hall kitchen). I played the theme of my song: My Old Black and White in him the other day it sounded pretty good considering "that" is not set then from my year-old piano tuner-86 died (I think in 2002).

My old black and white, with silence greets me every night.
And every time I walk through that door;
She's been my friend since '74
She is still my old black and white
And although the keys do not shine so bright,
She accompanied me (through) many lonely nights.
She follows as my old black and white

I posed for the photo above on the day of a concert played by more than 35 people in a log cabin, called "The Shed" Music in Cummington, Massachusetts, a beautiful town outside of New England mountains.

He 30 then and I remember it like to spend as short as a summer day in New England. Last year, my body would be unmarred by "dialysis needles" and the subsequent struggle of the next twenty years of poverty and struggle to stay true to my chosen goal and commitment: to learn to play a real piano. I was just the beginning of the long and successful career doing this, but I had not seen my recent reports of blood ….

It was a glorious day June in the New England mountains and played a grand piano, very well …
