well, he's one of the few that could probably sell more than he does..or perhaps that was just with analord.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
You must have some atrocious stuff, but some hidden gems that you have but will never hear... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

well without sounding too fan boi, his music is so good that he is able to sell it to comericials and his audience not very many artists are able to sell music. i really do think its shows how talented they are. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont forget about the 300mb at a whack mixes and live shows and such i have about 10 gb just of that stuff. |

not really, My mate makes that type of music and it's mind numbing. He'll make 40 D'n'B lite tracks, 20 trance songs and a few hip hop tracks a week and he barely gets by. They all lay there on a big data base that no one listens to asking to be used. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well, i think it's more about that he knows how to sell it.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
True. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well if its for money i guess its just like any other sales job, you have to sell the music to complanies and customize it and such, you really have to LOVE making music to make music |

btw, reading my initial post in this thread from 5 years ago i realised i increased my collection by 800 cds or so..and a few vinyls..and a several 100 gbs :) |

"...if you personally like what I do and wish to continue hearing more then the only way that will happen is if you support it." He will be incapable of producing music unless people pay him lots of money for it? Maybe I am biased here because I have never been that impressed with his work and I have always got the impression he is his own biggest fan (I might be wrong) much like Richard Devine. |

I talk to so many people on the internet with varying opinions that I'll often get led back to something I already have but haven't heard or neglected to give proper time and thought to... that happens a lot, but you're right though, I have a lot of stuff I don't even care for. But it's harmless, the pros outweight the cons. People that load up on .FLAC and lossless formats could probably fill up a couple of terrabytes relatively quickly. I'm happy with 192 kbs unless it's a personal favorite. |

thats why youre a moderator :D |

well, if he had to get a real job he'd probably be to wasted to make music afterwards...and not just because he'd be tired, a job sucks out your brain basically : ) |
||||||||

i am a big fan of lossless stuff thats why i dont bother with mp3 and the other digital compression formats - i am just a snob like that - i can stand flac and wav if and only if i cant find that real deal, if there is no flac, no wav or no official release then i will have to get the mp3, but i will buy it the first chance i find it. |

Of course he'd be capable, but perhaps he has other interests and avenues he would persue if his music doesn't work out as a means of paying bills and lining his pockets, maybe he wouldn't have a reason to bother releasing his music to us. Maybe he wouldn't bother putting up a myspace, wouldn't spam his stuff here. That's none of my business though. I can't and won't speak for him, though, but neither should you. |
||||||||

Yeah a lot of things change, most glaring ot me is that I don't even listen to much ''rock'' now and back then it comprised most of my collection. Although things go in cycles and I'll get back into again. |

I'm not speaking for him, but there is something a bit suspect about anyone who sees the sharing of music they create solely as a commercial venture. Personally speaking it wouldn't arse me if he never released again. In fact there are probably only about 7 or 8 artists/groups I am actually interested in hearing a new release for, the rest I could take or leave. |
||||||||

"nyone who sees the sharing of music they create solely as a commercial venture" you picked that from his statement? i find his music cheesy as well, but i still bought 3 records..not the new one though..as it's just more of the same and that doesn't really interest me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

What do you find ''suspect'' about it, specifically? I would hardly accuse him of being in it for the money, if that's what you're implying (I'm not saying you are, just trying to understand exactly where you're coming from). Foley Room has little commercial potential and is quite a departure from his previous work. There's no reason why a guy like that shouldn't take the opportunities he's given to make some money. Too bad everybody can't enjoy those opportunities. |

No it was a combination of the "...if you personally like what I do and wish to continue hearing more then the only way that will happen is if you support it." and Ophecks' "...maybe he wouldn't have a reason to bother releasing his music to us." I'm not implying that Amon only creates music for commercial reasons I'm just saying that if he does then it's a bit shit. In general I don't like the attitude of US music makers...I think it is a cultural thing that is reflected in their music. There are a few exceptions but mostly I prefer listening to UK/European/Asian electronic music. |
||||||||

Because when anything it created specifically for commercial reasons it tends to be "by numbers" whether intentionally or unintentionally the artists seem to allow their judgment on what they think their target audience wants to hear impact the music they actually want to make and 9 times out of 10 the result is a bland album that doesn't satisfy anyone. |

i only know matmos who make decent american electronic music..and they're cool about everything : ) however, there are's a whole bunch of absolutely brilliant music coming out from the states just not electronic! |

"there are's" haha |

I agree, yeah. But I think regardless of whether or not you enjoy his stuff, it would very hard to make a case that Foley Room is that kind of music. If he's being a bit greedy, he's being a bit human. Nobody wants to see their meal ticket blow away in the wind. I really don't see his art suffering for it, and find it very hard to hold this against him. He made his case reasonably. We're going to keep downloading his and everybody else's music for free anyway. |

My mate went to america last year and said that in new york people are trading gigs of music like currency. Its about music as an asset and not for listening pleasure.... Strange times we live in. All times are strange though i guess. Life is strange. strange is normal. ahh my head. |
