...but different... it relates, but i thought it should be seperate, just to avoid confusion. I like lots of music. I like IDM, i like Jazz, I like classical, i like rock etc etc if i released all different sorts of works, would be think i was selling out, and just trying to captialize on music any way i could? i mean, wouldnt it be wierd if you found out RDJ was doing something like that? i want to write orchestral peices, i want to write ambient jazz, i would do rock, if it was fun, and with friends... would there be less "credibility" if i released alot of styles AND I go to music school... does that give me less street credibility? all the electronic musicians that are big, didnt go to school. do you think music school would be looked badly upon? thoughts? comments? |

Why wouldn't you show the people that you can do more than one style? This is not selling out. |

if you were going to do that, you should release them under different names, just to save your ass ;D |

I think the reason people look unfavorably upon music school students is for one reason: lots of them tend to put things into their music that nobody cares about--like they'll have lots of really complex chords just for the sake of saying, "oh it's such and such a chord" or "it's in a certain time signature" or whatever and they act as though the musical complexity is what counts, when really it's the overall feel of the music that counts. How many great songs are fairly simple musically? Lots! Think of "Imagine" for instance--that's not such a challenging piano piece for a novice player, and the vocal part isn't very difficult, just honest and sincere without all the hassles of making music complex for no reason! |

you just gotta do what you feel man... you can't worry about what others think... if you're being true to who you are you have nothing to worry about!! |

yes, that is my concern with music school too and i see it everyone gets so into playing crazy scales and stuff when i write music, i acctually make a concious decision to not use what ive learned in harmony, cause it just sounds bland... but i really hope it doesnt affect how people look at me |

Yah--it's that that makes music students' music sound boring--they get locked into making every song some elaborate thing with harmony and melodies and counter melodies. It's like if painters used complimentary colors all the time because they learn that in art school. |

but, do you think it would kind of have a placebo affect? the fact that i go to berklee... people would suddenly get it in their minds, a view point on me? im considering not telling anyone that i went to music school |

I really like elaborate harmonies and all that, the complicated stuff. It's tough to make great harmonies. Scales... bleh... listen to heavy metal solos... impressive, but boring as hell. But I can listen to the Beach Boys' elaborate harmonies on the best parts of Pet Sounds all day. |

Nah, it'd probably be okay to say that you went to music school--just don't make your music sound like you read a text book and suddenly became the world's greatest composer. |

hehe im a big fan of non functional harmony basically it is, you make up your own rules. thats the simplest way to put it. id say most of electronic music is based on nonfuntional harmonies, be it on purposed or coincidence |

but like, back home, where i grew up, is my best friend he has a friend that also writes electronic music but whenever i visit, and we all hangout, he always goes on discussions about how you cant learn music, and he basically just doesnt like me. im afraid that will be a continueing trend |

speaking of solos, Joe Satriani knows how to do effective, complex solos... check out the song Love Thing, or Flying on a Blue Dream, or Time... each song is amazing!! |

selling out is really inmy opinion changing your style to jump on some bandwagon and play music people like just to sell records.. when you have one style thats you play and then your next album is completely diff and you onyl did it because thats the current craze and its not your best work from your heart then its pretty much selling out ... i guess |

well obviously you need to learn the basics of music and what not in order to write it effectively but once you learn the basics you just improvise with you want it sound like .. also im pretty sure you cant sell out unless you try to, so dont get so worried |
