Re: videos and music and music sales

I have some strong thoughts on this because whenever I play there is always the pressure to carry the work with visuals. But often, I fear this results in fluff and is sometimes distracting from the sound experience. For me, adding visuals takes away from the imaginative experience that can come from sound. Visuals dictate what a listener takes in and they might have another interpretation if they are allowed to let their minds wander.

Subject: videos and music and music sales

I have a theory I'd like to run by the readers of this list.  In a nutshell it goes like this,

 

"...people can handle more challenging music if it's accompanied by a cool video."

 

Do you agree?  Have any of you added video to your looping music and discovered it helped increase sales?

 

Kind regards,
