You know, when I play for friends whos musical
taste run to the local "classic" rock station which is most of
them,
they say Pink Floyd, I suppose because of the echos
and strange sounds. The other one I get is movie soundtrack music. Alot of times
I tell people space music and that works for them. The truth is I just play what
I play and I don't think about catagories except for rhythmic, ambient, noise,
or melodic after I listen back to recordings.
In fact my favorite stuff that I have played I
don't remember playing it when I listen back to recordings.
I have had to find a trick of forgeting a recorder
is on for me to get in the zone. This video thing is way freaking me out cause I
am thinking of how I look and how I sound. I fact just having people listening
while I play can change what I play like. I have to get in a meditative state
where there is no audience otherwise I fall back on my stock stuff and
creativity is stifled.
I use labels on the web to get linked to people who
play in similar veins; looper, ambient, experimental. If I sold my music or as
Kris does promote events then I would do the same thing as him. You have to
attract an audience to survive. This group, and my family and
friends are my audience. Although I have gotten some response from other
places since opening myspace and youtube accounts.
my 2 cents,
Jeff
