Why does the music industry always leave such a bitter aftertaste in Your mouth? It seems that in those two words, ‘music industry’, the focus is so clearly shifted toward the latter, away from the former. It is so easy, so frighteningly easy, to lose track of one’s creative process and spark when this is set against the insurmountable institutionalized obstacles that the reality of music production represents…
The album is nearing the end of the post-production process now, finally, although as so many artists before us we are being put into a position of needing to accept compromise as a way of getting our music out. For one of us in particular this will be a personal blow both heavy and ultimately unnecessary.
But You know what? That’s life! We’re in a place so many other people would give anything to be. We can’t lose our hunger over needing to compromise with people who are, after all, depending on us to give them their daily bread. Perfection is a luxury bil-payers can ill afford. So go ahead, life, meet me half way, I know we’re both working like animals to make it. In the words of the great Don Dokken: I don’t mind, and I don’t worry. I will survive.
