music thoughts Posted by poolboyjames on March 30, 2010 at 10:04 PM comments (0)a song can be many things
however my goal with music is to make something immediately audibly appealing with a depth that will allow u to continue listening to the song when i say audibly appealing, that applies to both the music as well as the cadence and flow of the lyrics when i say depth, that applies to the lyrical content as well as the actual instrumental i find that today, it seems to be a trend to have a decent set of lyrics but the instrumental has no real depth the instrumentals of the 90s are better overall than the instrumentals of today in my opinion because the ones in the 90s sampled and each sound came with its own "baggage" so to speak.. that "baggage" (reverberation, surrounding noise, etc.) made each hip hop song that much more "full" sounding these days it seems a lot more artists are reluctant to sample and the beats are very "clean" which reduces the depth of the instrumental.. which creates in essence an instrumental without a soul music today has no flaws.. we went from analog to digital, there's no tape hiss, there's no scratch of a record, audio these days is basically lossless and that takes away from music in a way.. especially hip hop because hip hop is already using manufactured sounds from the get-go personally i look forward to finding ways around sampling, but at the same time finding ways to make things sound like samples.. because we need originality, but at the same time we need music to bare its soul to us and not sound too clean orrobotic just puttin this stuff out there.. if ur into music u probably feel me, if ur not deep into music then u are probably wondering what on earth i'm talking about either way peaCe
