i was wondering, as a musician (a classically trained guitarist), why do you guys make music? what is the reason? can you be brutally honest? why do you want to do it?
cause we want to be rich and be a superstar djs
to get free drugs from suck-ups and score easier...
thanks for the honesty guys :)
because i can express things musically i have a hard time putting into words
WHY MAKE MUSIC?
honest?
cause it's all i know. it makes me feel good. i sit with my girl and i buzz so bad looking at her getting excited about the beats. i get excited thinking how i will feel when i hear that sound on a sound system.
oh how i love making music.
I`ve always done it.
I`ve been involved in music since I was about 8.
It`s become an ultimate source of therapy and artistic expression for me, plus I also enjoy parties, sound in general, abstract emotional responses to it, sound systems.....
In fact the reasons are far too numerous to go on about.
yeah, i was joking earlier
but steve said it, expression, sound systems, bass, parties, i love it
being classicaly trained at guitar does not a musician make.
it is easy to separate those who make music because they have to and those who make music to gain things like money/status/women
just listen.
I am in the camp with those who have always been in the music (both my parents are musicians). It makes me feel complete. It is....
When it comes to the question why techno? Well I grew up in the age of the birth of electronics/computers. As a young fella I had access to the latest music technology through my parents. They also always had really cool keyboards/synths lying around which I used to play with all the time and makes farked up noise with.
Music is all there is for me. If I am not listening, I am making.
I dont own a TV, but, i own a lounge-room full of speakers.
im the same as most of you guys, i've always loved music from as early as i can remember (probabloy due to having one of those toy trains that played records as a tot), then i started to play the guitar at about 10 years old, played drums (poorly) and also played the bass in a band at school.
i make music because i enjoy it, simple, nothing more nothing less.
why do i enjoy it ? im not sure really to be honest, i suppose it's a way of expressing myself, aswell as escapism
"without music, life would be pointless." frederich neitzsche
just go look in that OMG OMG WE GUTTA STOP THE ILLEGAL DOWNLAODS 17-page-thread and see for yourself who makes music for what reason.Quote:

you are telling me some people did not start making music in the first place because they saw it will get them more gigs?
or making music with "will this work with hte crowd" attitude :myagi:
