This guide is my idealist ramblings about how I think music should be created, it is meant to be attempted by myself and anyone willing to try it with me. A lot of my thoughts are probably stolen, when I am clearly aware of that, I will credit it.
First Thoughts
In a band setting thought should be given to balance, and how balance can be used as a tool for music. Anyone can fill up musical space time with notes, special care should be taken to play what the music not the ego demands. At the least this opens more possibilities of using overwhelming sound as a result of keeping a previous dynamic tension.
It seems to me that a band that is trying to do something interesting or new should work very hard in private until they can no longer keep themselves secret. Fuck adoration, fuck glory, the music is the reward for working your ass off.
Its fine to intellectualize music, and its fine to animalize it. Both have very important places, the incidental and accidental are valuable. A great thought by Brian Eno ” I shoot my arrows and paint the bullseye around where they land”.
