It's not just making a different type of music or expanding the boundaries of what it is you do - i think that working on soundtracks etc. is great and definately a worthy thing to do. BUT - i think that the whole concept of making music as your one and only source of income can generally lead to substandard results, no matter what type of music you are making. Stuff gets released all the time that really shouldn't be, and i think producers know when they've done something worthwhile, and when they've done something a bit average, but if you need to make money, the average stuff still pays the bills, so it gets released. It only does harm imo.
