The music industry is a cesspool, and I'm sick of being forced to pump propaganda.

My band has little relevance, but I can absolutely attest to being forced to pump shitty music for the sake of just being a good person.

They shame anyone that doesn't pump their message. I was met with an insane amount of opposition once it was discovered that my band was becoming popular, and I refused to sing songs that were "stamped" with approval.

I was effectively frozen out of the scene. It's a shame because I play several instruments, and make catchy tunes. Now, I have a small business that is about to fail when I should be a very famous musician.

You guys make me laugh so hard...don't stop!

No, I play piano...plus other instruments

>>138463361
Metal core can actually earn you decent money since all the kiddos are into it for being "extreme" I bet he is either one of these 4 chord song acoustic guitar fags or an untalented fruity loops "producer". Welcome to the real life looser. I'm a musician myself and I'm earning my living of producing other people's music, that way my music stays my hobby and I actually get to earn money without having to bend myself to the liking of others

Do you live in Berlin? there's no money to be made in this town, and since everyone is a musician/DJ/blogger/designer etc, the irony is that this town is artistically lifeless.
The Tech House is awesome but it doesnt come much from Germoney iirc

I'm a musician myself and I live off a rent because I leech my family who noticed I wasn't going to do much in life and gave me a small flat in a nice location.

Nah im living in the southern parts of germany. Well I feel like tech house is over saturated already since every kid with a mac book thinks he's a dj. My own music is more into the directions of industrial/ dark techno (pretty much the only guy around here which got me some nifty gigs) and my work life is mostly working with rappers from the local scene

Gotcha! Thx!!

So, how rough is LA? A lot of people itt think you're complaining that your music isn't well received, are you saying the industry just will not put you on if you don't get their approval?

I am trying to learn to make some nice dungeon synth, can you give me some advise, like what I need to learn to directly go to the music creation, taking into account that I will only use the computer (looking for buying a cheap keyboard, but while I save money I will use just the piano roll). I have many ideas, many melodies in my head but when I try to put them on screen I fail miserably.
I dont want to be a professional composer, just an amateur enjoying and expressing myself.
I dunno man, there is actually people who never studied music theory or armony, and actually they sell albums and songs in iTunes and so.

Also becoming a professional composer is not an option. I am 32yo and in my country the whole career is 14 years. And this is if they admit me in the conservatory. So when I end the career I would be 46 or even more, and there is a chance I woudnt even be alive by then.

A few questions...

How do you feel about Chris Cornell & Chester Bennington's weird suicide deaths? Do you think they were murdered?

How many female popstars are mind-controlled slaves?

How many musicians/artists are into pedophilia & drugs & satanic shit? Some speculate master tapes are used in demonic rituals.

"Locker room talk
I can’t believe
You think you’re gonna get around it
Dirt in your mouth
Mic on the sleeve
We all heard how it sounded

So many lies
Ya think that it's true
Try walking on water
With a brick in your shoes
You're gonna end up drowning

It took a long time to break these walls
And he wanna build 'em up
It takes a long time
To earn my trust
I'm gonna give it to the girl I love

a conquer the small
To live like a king
From way up in your tower
Show us your hand
We know you’re just bluffing
You got no real power
Keeping your word
Don’t mean a thing
All your friends turn in to enemies
How could you be grounded?

The hate in your heart
Everybody can see
Your head is hollow, man
You ain't fit to lead
Let's stand up and be counted

I don't care if this guy is larping, but:
>Surprised when an industry with a direction want something that brings in the biggest profit and doesn't disturb the status quo.

You're either a businessman or an artist
The real "artist" starve in hobo shelters.
All of the successful artists are in it with a business mindset and I've seen this first hand.
Sure they do their own thing with their creation, but they make sure to keep it in line with what brings in the money and keeps them in the good graces of the patrons.
Which nowadays are basically government institutions.
Occasionally they're controversial, because that too sells, but it's not the standard that keeps them afloat.
If you want to make it, you have to mix both creation and business. But always having business as no.1 goal.
Business meaning a product that sells and is allowed to sell.

So are you the lead singer? If so, I can see why you are having difficulty. Your face is very masculine indicating high T levels. Less likely to step in line to the faggots in LA.

>>
>>138468870
>what does this mean exactly? like you can't play at certain venues?

Bands are essentially at the mercy of their label and executives for promotion, bookings and "getting them out there." Whilst I sympathize with this guy, there's not really much excuse these days with things like distribution and self-promotion made easier than ever thanks to the internet.

If hacks like that fat, old, ugly, retarded Rob Chapman guy can get internet and irl famous for making extremely embarrassing guitar videos, someone with actual talent, a YouTube and social media presence and an active touring schedule should be able to. There is a voracious hunger for genuine from the balls/soul/lifeblood music that isn't being fulfilled, there should easily be enough people to fill the niche this guy wants.
