We tend to mistake music for the physical object.
Why not invest in the future of music, instead of building fortresses to preserve its past?
I’ve rarely seen video screens used well in a music concert.
There’s more good music being made now than ever before.
The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world’s popular music is a good thing, for the most part.
If anything, a lot of electronic music is music that no one listens to at home, hardly. It’s really only to be heard when everyone’s out enjoying it.
So there’s no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn’t necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn’t necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.
It didn’t even occur to me that I’m the last person in the world who should play salsa or Brazilian music.
You create a community with music, not just at concerts but by talking about it with your friends.
The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.
