he is one of the wanker bassists

I found a video of him playing a solo and he is good at playing the instrument but has no soul in it

he isn't expressing anything, just machine gunning notes

not unlike a lot of metal

3 minutes into a 4 minute clip he starts actually playing music and it isn't much

and only does it for like 30 seconds

Since we are at hippy music

better than dave matthews band at least

this is some truly weird shit

I like it

you can check out proper studio recoding on youtube, they kinda add to the psychedelia

bands like this are great live

really trippy weird shit

I do not like normal shit

I expect a band to be great live yet not have the focus be the band

that is why I hate people playing little "solos" that are basically just wanking

to me the point of music is mood, an internal feeling in the listener

anything that breaks that, makes them focus on things too concrete or on any of the band people, that is gay

needs to put you in a state of trance, hypnosis

to me music is not "let's see what these guys do," it should be them saying "let's see what we can make these people feel"

which is why 90% of the time i prefer listening to music on my computer

because live performances are simply sub-standard

a truly good live performance is very rare

even truly instrumentally/vocally good is rare, much less having all the other mood shit on top of it

i liked this one, but the guy behind this act, Simon Posford, says it's incredibly hard to organize them which is why he only did it twice

and in the age of MP3 and EDM festival there is no incentive to make it

rest of the time he simply DJ's his albums

this is why despite being a multiinstrumentalist I am going to make primarily digital music

so it can be about the music and not what a coolguy I am

well, electronic sometimes just kicks ass

analog monophonic basses can sound really full, even software emulated ones

I am going to primarily shoot for normal band instrument sounds

but yeah

it's really important to avoid digital sounding (in a negative sense) instruments like plague

I am basically thinking voice, clean guitar, piano, crunchy guitar, drums

that should take care of everything

and what will your music be like/be about @Deleted User 57835c2c
