...maybe the problem is that people aren.t putting themselves in the shoes
of the artists, or giving them the respect and appreciation that they
deserve...i mean, i really don.t think that any artist, or group of artists,
or what have you, goes into music, especially "idm" with the notion that
they will inevitibly make something bad, and that someone.s going to call it
s***. eventuall someone will...(i.e.: "i hate music" blog, etc.), and
eventually they might make something which they thought was indeed, bad, but
at the time they were either finding themselves as musicians, as artists, as
crafters, as whatever...and at the time, they put all of their effort into
it.
i think that the majority of artists that we discuss on this so called
"intelligent" list, making so called, "intelligent" music, make the music
that they do because they enjoy doing it. seemingly, an "idm" artist, or
artists, make[s] little money from releasing their music, so why else would
they be making it?...to impress the babes?...highly unlikely. and if we all
make the assumption that effort is put into all of the work that these
artists make, with the exception of (my own opinion) *** ***, then we won.t
have to disregard our f***ing manners and call an artist.s or artists.s
music "garbage" even though they have put a lot of time and effort into
creating it.
opinionatively, i would never call anyone elses music "garbage," rather, i
would deconstruct the peice of music paying attention to exactly just what i
didn.t exactly like, (but could still appreciate), (the tones, the mood it
created, or lack of mood it created, the patterns, the loops, the sounds
heard, and so forth), and comment on that, instead of just a first listen
and saying, "man this stuff is plain s***." incidently, it.s not stuff, and
none of it is s***. haven.t any of us ever gone by the motto "to each their
own." i think this applies here. maybe i.m being naive, but i think that
the ability to do this, taking into account that we are so called,
"intelligent" people, listening to so called, "intelligent" music, i think
that we all have the ability to "intelligently" listen to and appreciate the
music we do listen to and discuss it in such a manner. because, one can
appreciate something AND not like it. this is easier with the assumption of
effort and time. and that ********, or ****** ** ****** album not coming
out yet...maybe said artists are working their asses off to put out a good
record because they don.t go by *** ***'s mentality that they can put a
peice of turd on a record and anyone will buy it, just because it.s a ***
*** record.
