this is why i love this channel, its not just marketing its also how,why and when
perspective changer, thanks jesse
This is a good, unique take on an age-old question. Thanks for sharing this
Very well said
What kind of monitors are those?
I agree. I made an electronic Lounge cover of Chris Isaak's Wicked Game and it's doing very well, even though it's a cover song.
Thanks for this! The information you've conveyed is not original but it certainly resonated with a my emotions in a new and intense manner.
When you use Aphex Twins logo as Autechre……😂
"Creation requires influence"
For more on this topic I recommend the documentary Everything is a Remix.
Last year I put out a song called City Lights. Right away, many people pointed out that it sounds very similar to Mad World by Tears for Fears. At first, I was freaking out because it was already mastered and released, but watching the aforementioned documentary helped put things into perspective. We're not as original as we'd like to think.
Nothing wrong with being derivative. 😇
If you didn't post this, I would of thought radiohead started a lot of things because I recently learned about them maybe 2 weeks ago.
"conform! obey! there is no originality! just give up!"
There is nothing worse than generic music
For me great art conveys something authentic in an interesting way. There is lots of good honest art but if you want to be great you do need something to set you apart, that something still needs to be congruent with the message in order to resonate with the audience. There is also bad orginal art where the creator had an idea but nothing to say.
crazy how grimes was in your thumbnail lol i was thinking abt how i had to be original bc grimes is original and i wanna be like her
You can't help but be a product of your influences, this has always been the case. What's happening now however, is when a large section of artists all seem to have the same influences or the same tastes carrying through to what they create. A kind of 'collective conservatism' has emerged in the many artists out there, through either insecurity about marketability, a lack of confidence in their more challenging ideas or just plain old uninspired choices.
This, repeated in thousands upon thousands of artists (there's never been more people making music in all of history) leads to a kind-of dull homogeny in music, where equally common is the complaint 'everything sounds the same'. I would argue that, in reality that's no bad thing, just a reasonable response to where we are today and whats going on now. A homogenous backdrop with a sea of copycat mediocrity might actually help music lovers.
How? When you DO hear the artists that put themselves out there and really find a way to express themselves that others can't replicate, it stands out. Suddenly all the '1-5-6-4 for 4 beats', autotuned, hip-sung, sample pack, 'major pentatonic sticking mostly to the 1 and 3 of the key scale' vocal line, finger snap on 2 and 4, sing about your problems/relationship/sexual intentions, '30 seconds of high energy 30 seconds of low energy' repeating structure, 'no-scrubs' vocal rhythm, hoopydoo boredom falls away. The true artists become clear via their confidence, vindicated by how hard they are to ignore.
My new favourite YouTuber…..
I really enjoy this & the "ends justifies the means" videos! So many beginning producers, like myself, hit roadblocks where we feel insecure that our music a) isnt original enough b) is using a method that we feel isn't talented enough.
I used mainly loops & samples to create a few songs last fall. These songs still have a hugely positive emotional impact on me and a few people I shared them with. They don't care how I made it or if I used a loop in a looppack, they just enjoy it! I also draw a lot of inspiration from daft punk & justice who fill their music with samples. Justice even used garage band for their first album. What really matters, like you've stated, is how it impacts the listener.
thanks for rising this question. I am totally agree with you too. I think the perfect strategy is to be 50% original and 50% similar to the aesthetics that your genre pursues. Music genres ain't appeared out of nowhere. They serve to a certain purpose.
I genuinely couldn't care less about anything other than 'do I like this song, does it sound good to me?' I don't care if the singer can't sing, I don't care if none of the artists involved can play an instrument, I don't care if it took a day to make, I don't care if it's original, I literally just don't give a fuck about any of that, if I like the song I like the song.
