Is this forums saying that if you forgo any focus on selling your music and devote your attention to just creating the sounds and sharing them, being an artist only, that you will be more effective with your music?
If so, does that seem to be a way to empower someone?
Artist versus salesman, but never in ths same person? Maybe there's something to that - great artists need managers to do the darkwork of selling you. But isn't that a limiting thoguht? A belief that noone can be both an artist and manger at the smae time, to it's fullest extennt?
Jack of all trades, master of none.
Or expert at this one or two things, and know not much else.
Or master of many things - like a renisaunce man/woman? |
Yes, exactly no-one is able to be an artist and a manager at the same time, as far as I know. I have talked with similar musicians and they all have a creative block when they are promoting themselves.
Well, If I applied light polarity to my music... I would give my songs for free, reaching a few, and with a lower budget that If I was signed (but with greater artistic freedom). I already do this, and doesn't mean much to me. I don't think is worth to record some songs, to register them, etc. for a small audience... Well yes, it's worth it. But it's not a great thing... it's payed because I know some people like it, and that's all.
It is somehow like when you post here or anywhere and you sometimes help people doing it.
If I go dark I would do anything the companies would want (...) and maybe I would reach many... but in a way I don't like...
You know, the dark side is a faster way... but not the best way.
Music business is a very strange thing to analyse because music are feelings mostly. It's a fine line between heaven or hell in music business. I know that If I will "sell out" it wouldn't be good for me, maybe for others, but not for me.
So, I'm still here and 97% of my music is only on my head.
