the young people i have been working with have shown unrestrained honesty in all musical senses. some are more restrained than others, but when placed in an out-of-classroom setting and engaging in conversation instead of lecture, with the openness that artistic discussion must be allowed, they have been the most honest of critics. now it is my job to take their musical tastes and blow the doors wide open on the world outside of youtube, middle school, and parents.
also: negative energies have been detected, as far as the students trying to find where they belong and being frustrated in the journey. positive influences must be shown to them in a digestible and natural progression. must find their strongest bonds to current styles, bands, lyrics, and feelings, and amplify, distort, evolve. we will provide snacks and jokes. becoming an adult is a bitch.
friends kick ass. things are moving. i need that mackie onyx or the alesis, as well as acquiring Reason, because i need to start having solid recordings to show and twist. i have about three new songs on the rise, plus a few choice old songs i would like to rethink. content is the only true issue, as well as sound.
the big question: what do we have to say?
the economy sucks. our leaders are not aware that we are, as eddie izzard pointed out, the new Roman Empire. our Nero is in office. so there are politics.
theres more, but im tired.
