that's a distortion of what i said.
i never said to NOT MAKE MUSIC. for fucks sake -- MAKE MUSIC. do it
often and do it well.
BUT, if you're going to START making music several weeks before the
deadline for entry into an undergraduate program, in my opinion you're
wasting your time trying to rush to meet the deadline.
maknig music is an organic process and should be done intuitively, in
the absence of other people who say 'DO IT THIS WAY'. it should come
from the soul, not the desire to have an IDM degree. i was simply
questioning his movtives; to me his request sounded like 'H1 h4x0rs r
l33t t34ch m3 h0w 2 h4x0r teh p3ntag0n!!!'
and YES. drown the optomistic in the truth. its the only way to
prevent the inveitable disgust at learning later you've been lied to,
and there is no santa claus.
i'm also of the slightly controversial opinion that anyone who goes to
music school will make music school music first. there is more
potential for creativity in chaos than in structured learning. there's
a glut of glitch-by-numbers and wanky aphex ripoff IDM out there --
this goes for all genres. we don't need to turn making music into the
sort of brain factories that our diseased public schools are.
flame away, fanboys.
