Resuscitate Quality Music

I have been wanting to blog about music and the making of music for quite some time and I am glad this is giving me that platform.

Lately I have notice a resurgence of some great quality music. When I say quality I mean the structure of the songs that are coming out. You know there is nothing wrong with beginning your style of music but in the industry as a whole there are certain elements that make songs sell. The structure of the underlying track has certain drum beats that drive the song and chord progressions that pull the emotion out of the lyrics. I have also noticed people stepping out of the 4/4 time signature and trying non-traditional ones (which make for some fun stuff sometimes).

I guess hat I love is when a person starts out with the same ole', same ole' and takes the initiative to educate themselves in other forms of creating music. It's time for more than a sine wave and a 1, 2, 3, 4. I also like the style of creating your own samples. Not many people can afford licensing fees for legal sampling to actually turn a profit on their music, unless they are part of a label and have access to historic catalogs. What I am getting at is, be creative and make your own until your on.

I have also tooted the horn of lyrical ability for some time now. I can recite the best raunchy songs with the best of them but as I have grown in business I have definitely seen where, less is more and leaving something for the imagination is key to songs that have longevity. Hell, even Marvin Gaye's "Sexual Healing" was cutting edge but it never crossed over to the x-rated side. As creative spirits you can express whatever it is that you feel but at what expense? Maybe not trying to force it down the publics throat by giving in to the mantra that everybody's doing it.

Thoughts become actions, actions become habits and habits become
character. What does your music say about your character?

In closing, take into consideration some things written here and again challenge your intellect, don't just be a dummy producer or writer on auto-pilot and help,

RESUSCITATE QUALITY MUSIC !!!!
