Writings

Im probably not the most vocal person in the world..(unless im on stage expressing myself on my bass hehe!))...but every now and then i like to share my veiws on verius subjects..i like to talk about The world in general and issues reflecting it,..i mostly like to talk on the subject of musicology..because music has to be the most powerfull force human beings have at helm "second to the power of "Love"...so i will mostly look at the world through a musicians eyes..

through life ive grown up mostly listening and watching"..through that i would like to think ive gained a whole wealth of understanding"..thanks to great parents of who nurtured me as best as they could and raised me with family values and all the wisdom that i will need to get through life a "successor"

its now up to me to never forget what ive learnt and gone through. There's one hell of a ride over yonder for me"..and in the entity of the business that i dwell upon they are people out there who are going to try to break me down"..its up to me to stay strong and never to loose the Vision in my life".

personaly..im in a stage where i feel somewhat disconcerted by the whole Arts scene in general" especially my scene of which is the "music scene"..it certainly aint an attractive field for passionate Musicians these days"..Infact i feel that if there was a period in history of where the Arts in general mainly (Film,Tv,and the music industries) are in an epic black hole" then its certainly in the begining of this century,..its like everyone is looking at each other and thinking "Um What next??"..originality in generaly is fading"..thus is bringing a whole field of "wannabe's" and Re:makers into to play"..This is real sad cause "this is Not the way to Progression".I believe This is actualy meant to be the Greatest period in Human history"..it should be a period where we have seen and have already learnt from our great history as a people" thus we should now know how we can pave a bright new way for our children..but its actualy the very opposite..looks like we are living it for our children to figure it out"/..this should not be..and if we continue "looking at each other" the whole industry in general will go even further down into turmoil...((i know im drifting off abit here but i hope the big picture of what im expressing is becoming clear)..

musicaly..in my experience, everytime i turn the radio on i feel realy frustrated with the music i hear"..call me "old fashioned" but it takes me a good 15 minutes or more switching through stations just trying to find some decent music"..and plenty of times i end up turning the radio off with disgust and when atlast i find something good its always about 10 years old or older"...im not blind to see that there's need for some serius change in the music industry".."Record labels" and all the spectrums of power behind these musicians are the cause for the destruction of "music"..for them it seems to be all about getting musicians of which they can easily change and "exploit" so that they can get the "quick buck off of them".."its realy sad cause its all about the money" and the quantity of the record sales more then the Quality of the music..i think now its time musicians themselves take responsibility" cause at the end of the day its the "musicians music" that is going out there to the people"..however unfortunatly most of the musicians out there who get in with some of these companies dont have the education to look beyond that Fat Pay cheque..

I say its time for musicians to gain in that knowledge before they even set a foot on the platform..This industry is not only called "music" its called ((the music "business")) if you realy have the true passion for your music in general and not just there to cash in the pay cheques"..then "take full control" of your art!)."Record companies" should "Step back" and let the musicians Do their thing as freely as they can"..they should not change them to be something they are Not"..(because thats never lasting"..sooner or later these poor musicians will "break"

i believe musicians should never Flow into "trend"..Nearly every band these days sounds "the same"..thats one of the reasons why few or next to none have opend my eye's yet and inspired me in this period..remember "everyone is unique"..thus each of our "Voices" (in a metaphorical sence) should be individual"/ we should learn and aspire from different musicians" but never emulate or copy them" everybody has a part they can seek from inside of themselves" something no one else has got" only with your own fruit can you inspire someone else"..Musicians in general should be abit open minded"..music is all about expression and using the different colours of the musical spectrum" just like how a painter uses different colours to complete a picure"..Practice your technique and build that strong passion for your instrument" but never fall into the realms of ego's" this will keep a musician Limited! so keep a "humble heart" for this is the only way one can "learn".never let anyone push you in the wrong direction" so keep your mind sharp to the game! "Remain a student for life"..thats the only way to the top" (I want to be living proof of this)...i already know this theories have worked for some of the worlds most respected musicians"

i will be just writing and adding to this as i go, wount even put No spell check on this thing hehe".."it dont get No realer" hehe

meantime just ""HEAR AND FEEL THE MUSIC""...."www.lalawethika.com"
