WARNING: this post is coming mainly from a 'musician's' point of view... ( I use musician because I don't know what else to use) What it comes down to for me is that I am not generally a fan of any purpose built music. Mainly because to do so, it has to conform to rules. I make music because I love the creative freedom that comes along with doing so. It is just an audible version of a collage or poem. No rules, and I can do whatever I want. So to me, when I see that to make a house track, it HAS to have energy, HAS to be between 110-135 BPM, HAS to have a consistant beat, etc. I say no thanks... These rules/guidlines seem totally restricting. If you enjoy making regimented music, then fine, but I would certainly feel like part of a cookie cutter process if I made house music. Don't take this as an attack on skill or intelligence... It takes great skill in producing good house, but for me it's about creative freedom. -Matt- www.konstruktiv.net "In communications, familiarity breeds apathy." -William Bernbach --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
