/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

>>54922795
it sounds like you don't really love music so you'll figure it out.

by drinking yourself to death

It sucks but if you try hard enough you can make it. What instrument do you play?

🐊

>>54922825
I do love music, why would you assume otherwise?

>>54922863
Piano, trumpet, drums, guitar and bass.

You will never become successful if the reason you make music is to become successful.
/thread

>>54922868
because you're seemingly quick to give up

>>54922900
If you play classical trumpet you can work a steady job for an orchestra.

>>54922907
I haven't given up, its just the fact that music will likely never be my full time job. I'll never stop creating but I wish it could be more than a hobby.

>>54922795
you get over it by acknowledging that thousands of other people have been through the exact same experience. you're nothing speshul OP

>>54922904
Right you are!

Make music to make music, make friends, and make memories, not to become rich or famous.

>tfw you have plenty of ideas to do original, risky stuff, and you are convinced that would knock some doors
>tfw the rest of your band dont like them, so you end doing generic entry level shit just to please 'fans'

>>54922955
That honestly makes me feel slightly better

>>54922954
m8 nobody makes enough from music as a full time job. niggas like /mu/ pirating killed sales

only big time producers and ghost producers make cash.
The only artist making some cash have to do everything themselves to get ahead

>>54922868
because if you loved music you would be writing good music by now because you would turn to every possible resource to make it happen. you'd read books, you'd talk to people, you'd play more instruments, you'd've learned how to sing by now, you'd thought out some original gimmicks, you'd've done this and that.

and you wouldn't give up (after you've done all that). but you did none of that and its probably too late to start now so you actually gave up a long time ago because you don't know what it's like to actually love music. don't mean to sound condescending but it's true.

>>54922795
The ultimate goal of an artist is to be trascendental, not succesful. Think of Velvet Underground or Th Shaggs

>>54922795
by being honest with yourself and moving on, but not necessarily giving up. i think even though it doest seem like it, it may be better to keep music as a hobby rather than killing the fun of it by making it into a job

>>54922973
Iktfb

>>54923003
Are you trying to imply that this is what you do?

>>54922973
Start a new band my nigga

>>54923198
lol i didnt mean to imply that, but i do it all for my love for music.

>>54923198
No, he's implying that he's thought about being a musician, convinced his parents to buy him a guitar, and played Wonderwall for a few weeks before going back to wasting his time pretending to be an artist on /mu/.

>>54923252
i don't like that song, though.

>>54923003
>>54923251
I don't think it's your place to tell people whether or not they love music, but then again you are a tripfag so you clearly have an unwarranted sense of self importance anyway.

>>54922795
This happened to me, now I'm school to become a history teacher.

>>54922904
tell that to 95% of artists on the radio who cater to that market (aka THE market)

and remember that the top 1% of artists make 77% of the profits

>>54923326
remember that I don't give a fuck about making garbage music for the market or making a profit.

>>54923251
Then how come we've never heard of you?

>>54923311
I think it's anyone's place to say something if it's true, applicable, and relevant. Some people mistake deep interest for passion, but really they're just dilettantes who haven't found their favorite thing yet. There's something ahead in OP's life he hasn't discovered yet that he'll truly love and he'll realize he never loved music.

>>54923371
dude you're talking to kane west

>>54923371
because I'm in the recording process, boy! Jesus Christ do you think all musicians just pop out of no where like suns from the west. Let me hold on to my anonymity while I still can.

>>54923380
I agree with the second sentence of this post, but the first sentence could be construed as hypocritical.

>>54922795
It's easy, OP, once you get past your teenage phase you'll be over it.

>>54923380
We did it gents, we found the most pretentious cunt on /mu/.

>>54923390
Calling Kane West a musician is extremely generous, considering literally anyone could do what he and the rest of his lot do.

>>54923489
..but i'm Little Moo !

>>54923417
oh god it's gonna sting when you realize you're not getting famous

>>54923519
Post a link to some of your stuff or gtfo

>>54923516
Show me an album by you that's equal to or better than Late Registration.

>>54923578
Kane West is a music producer from England who creates absolutely shite music, I thought you were talking about him rather than KanYE. Yeah I agree that Yeezy is a GOAT producer.

Everybody feels this way at some point: your unoriginal, self-indulgent, bad, getting nowhere in terms of writing good music for yourself. But notice how it is always the same thing when you think like this? There's never a truly original reason why your bad, failing, etc. you just are. So these thoughts are truly the unoriginal bullshit, and the thing your doing is actually better than that. Now if your not happy (which is different) with your songs etc. write some new ones, or try playing a key/way that you don't normally.

>>54923626
Sorry man, my bad.

>>54923235
I fear starting again... searching the right people is hard, and I don't live in a big city, so that makes it harder...

>>54923747
You don't need to start over. Just have two bands; it's not like you're doing this full time is it?

>>54922795
smoke a joint then go back to the line and bang out a service

>>54923747
Move to a big city, anon. If I knew you I'd show you the ropes.

>>54923489
>we
fuck you asshole you don't speak for this board

>>54923816
Link me to some of your stuff Little Moo, I want to hear it

>>54923858
i take off my trip whenever I'm in voc threads or SC threads, for obvious reasons. but you'll know it's me because I'm literally the same in my posts.

>>54923930
>too chickenshit to share his stuff

Lol you sure love music

>>54923780
>>54923816

The thing is, when I started with this band in my city (4-5 years ago), was great, now we are superbros and all. But in all this years I grew on 'edgier', experimental music; meanwhile they stayed in his comfort zone (entry level indie rock, btw).

So, as much as I try to push them to my tastes, they keep composing this Arctic Monkeys pseudo-covers, and that makes me sick... they dont even want to improve on their instruments, while Im always training on new techniques and stuff (im the drummer).

:_(

>>54924167
I still don't see why you can't be in 2 bands

>>54924206
I would, but as I said, its very hard to find a 'right' band where I live...I dont know anyone out there who share my tastes and my pretensions on music, I think i just will keep trying...

Just spent my last monies on a keyboard. Super excite.

>>54924167
go solo nigger or do the AM covers and get paid to fund your own project.

Honestly i think you should give up. this whole thread u keep making excuses

>>54924318
That's hard, man. Maybe try making a little solo stuff on the side?

>>54924379
if i were in that predicament, i would make connections since i'd already be in the scene and just jam with other people for fun until i find the right matches. also, viciously try to network in the business. maybe steal a song just to your band having more faith in you so they'd give more creed to your ideas, then drop the stolen song as soon as you can because actually benefitting from stolen shit is despicable, but just use it as a manipulative tool. idk, man. write your own shit. learning how to sing is always valuable, too. you could not go wrong with that.

>>54924368
Honestly, we won't get anywhere playing what we play now... going solo is something I always thought of, but I'd need to learn other instruments...

Im not OP, btw

>>54924457
What kind of stuff are you into?

>>54924457
shouldn't be hard
I mean dean blunt only knows bass and he samples the fuck out of eveything. and he has a careeer why can't you

>>54924457
jam with other people and make new friends. its the only way out. make friends with your fans too before you go solo so you don't end up starting from board one.

but, sometimes, starting from step one is what we need. maybe you need it. if you're serious about music, maybe you need some time alone to prepare yourself to re-enter and shine.

>>54923036
>The Shaggs
>transcendental

>>54924482
What Im trying to implement in my band's sound is more trip-hoppy, jazzy stuff. Im still into indie, but I would like to make ''chilier''. Karate is a good example, or Sharks Keep Moving, Morphine, etc...

I know, in /mu/ thats not edgier, but for my band, it is...

Aaaand, on the other hand, I definitely want to make things like The Necks or Huntsville. But thats way harder to find people...

>>54924720
Well I mean as a drummer you have huge influence over the band if you want to go a bit more jazzy. Maybe put a little bit of swing into a few songs and see what happens?

As far as solo stuff, you could probably learn guitar pretty quick if you put the effort in.

>>54923380
jesus christ shut the fuck up. stop telling people what they like and don't like

>>54922925
Getting into an orchestra is insanely hard. Most members of orchestra went to conservatories.

>>54924831
>like and don't like
>love and don't love
completely different things

>>54924960
I know, I'm a horn player, but depending on your age that's completely feasible. It was just a possibility.
