Why do i create music? Noone buys my recordings, noone wants to learn to play my music, and very few people other than myself have listened to more than a few pieces. So, why bother?
Well, it's what i do. I've spent my whole life studying, playing, and creating music. I enjoy it. There is music running through my brain all day and night. Why stop just because i don't get paid for it?
I'm not interested in the restrictions that composing for hire brings, nor am i interested in the cost of producing mass consumable media. I like recording music in my basement and publishing it myself online. I shouldn't have to pay the registration fee to claim copyright, then pay dues to a performing rights association, and keep track of licensing fees, and all of thatt crap to make music, so i don't. You wouldn't want to hear my music on the radio, it's not radio friendly.
I don't need a producer using a $10,000 microphone to capture my silly guitar pieces. I don't need thousand dollar amplifiers, engineers, or mastering. I don't need studio musicians, an agent, or pr. I don't need a band, or a tour bus, or a live crew. All i need is to get the music out of my brain and into some audible format.
You are more than welcome to like it, or hate it, or ignore it. You can even tell me so, and i'll respond in some appropriate fashion. I make music, whether or not anybody cares.
Cheers.
