Music has no meaning anymore. He said "Back in the Day I would write a track, it would be huge. People would remember, play it for months. Now you write one and 2 weeks later it's forgotten".

Mind you this is only one aspect of why he's quitting but I couldnt help but feel the same way... Does that mean that artists arent spending enough time writting memorable tracks or is the market just to saturated with loads of music.....

Hope that came out right...

well, here comes some dichotomy!

yes, in a way (even in the short time I've been trying to make music its changed) the proliferation of easy access software, and to some extent the immediacy of myspace etc, has meant that every man, his dog, and any other pets he may have, are all knocking out music and a rate of knots and thinking it has some inherent value because their mates say it sounds ''phat''. but still, if something is made that really touches people then regardless of how its made will still touch people and get into the conciousness.

the flip side of this proliferation of easy access software etc etc is that more people have an opportunity to try it, to try their own thing, to experience music from the 'other side', and maybe, just maybe, this drives our type of music as a whole forwards?

interesting subject, but I'm too pissed to properly get into it.
