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.
