Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article)


I found this article while surfing the web tonight. If it’s already been posted I apologize.

Tons of great music being produced today. My favorite radio show is “Extra Eclectic”. Check it out!

 

Also, there are more female composers producing work now than ever before. What an exciting time to be a music lover.

I wonder how many people know who Howard Tullman is or even read through the article.  I was on his legal team during the initial JamTV/Tunes.com work.  He's definitely not a small minded guy. He does like to stir the pot.

If you read to the bottom, his main point, really, was that big music execs got greedy and complacent and didn't innovate.  The article was in Inc. magazine and he was making a business point.

But yeah, the top of the article does make him sound a bit like Old Man Screaming at the Sky.  He does acknowledge the music activity in indie circles, but I doubt he's dipped very far into that.

To address the main debate going on in this thread, there most certainly is plenty of good new music coming out. Oddly, it's harder to find...or should I say it is easy as it has ever been to find, but harder to identify. Mainstream media just doesn't do the variety of art justice. 

It does take work to find great new music.  You need a thread to pull.  Roon actually helps with this, when it's working. 

You want some recommendations for great new music? Here you go:

  • Brother Dege
  • Craig Finn
  • Niyaz
  • Jade Jackson
  • Animals as Leaders

There's really lots. Find something you like and pull that thread!

Yes we must work a lot to discover new music...

But the number ofnew geniuses is astounding and growing ...

More than ever...

They are marginalized by the industries and by ignorant deaf crowds listening to their commercialized shit because uneducated by anyone ....

 

We must learn music, anyone saying the opposite is not only ignorant but musically dead...

Reacting passively to the same shit all our life is perhaps "entertaining" for some but pure conditioning implementation by corporations without even any working by our own consciousness...

Music is not only about nostalgia, but about awakening our spirit, emotionnaly to a higher level of perception...

It is "seeing" music like some perceive geometry or a movie...

Music contains so much holographic information than it make the heart beat out of your body at a higher rate...

Music is a dancing with or without the need for a body...

It is a seing with and/or without eyes....

It is a speaking with or/and without voices...

It is a color perception with or/and without any colors you already know...

Each cultural expression of music is like a new other planets to explore...

It is more than thrilling....

Then i am like most for sure,  i love to feel nostalgia for some old song of the years  50/60/70...

But if it is your only notion of what music is, you lack most of music information body...

And those who dont listen at least jazz and classical, if not all cultural expression of music are almost spiritually  deaf...

Sorry...

This is not my opinion it is the truth manifested through music complexities...

If you dont train yourself to understand complexities , they appear like a boring, confusing , headache, it is perhaps simpler to accuse other ofbeing  "snob" instead of acknowledging  our own limitation, acknoledging them and trying by listening experiments to "boldly go where no man has gone before"....

Music is not sound we already know only, it is a movie we have never seen or feel ever before...

It is a new planet, a new life, and a new understanding.... Nothing less...It is not a commercial  "tune" ONLY ....

Read me right i like very much popular music too...

I spend money on great musicians like Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen and many others...

But it is only a small part of music.... And popular music in China or India is not Popular music on the american Radio....

The only music i hate is commercially motivated music....
