WHY MAKE MUSIC ANYWAY?

**el salvador** · 08-03-2006, 01:39 AM

i was wondering, as a musician (a classically trained guitarist), why do you guys make music? what is the reason? can you be brutally honest? why do you want to do it?

WHY MAKE MUSIC?

honest?

cause it's all i know. it makes me feel good. i sit with my girl and i buzz so bad looking at her getting excited about the beats. i get excited thinking how i will feel when i hear that sound on a sound system.

oh how i love making music.

I`ve always done it.
I`ve been involved in music since I was about 8.
It`s become an ultimate source of therapy and artistic expression for me, plus I also enjoy parties, sound in general, abstract emotional responses to it, sound systems.....
In fact the reasons are far too numerous to go on about.

yeah, i was joking earlier

but steve said it, expression, sound systems, bass, parties, i love it

being classicaly trained at guitar does not a musician make.

it is easy to separate those who make music because they have to and those who make music to gain things like money/status/women

just listen.

I am in the camp with those who have always been in the music (both my parents are musicians). It makes me feel complete. It is....

When it comes to the question why techno? Well I grew up in the age of the birth of electronics/computers. As a young fella I had access to the latest music technology through my parents. They also always had really cool keyboards/synths lying around which I used to play with all the time and makes farked up noise with.

Music is all there is for me. If I am not listening, I am making.

I dont own a TV, but, i own a lounge-room full of speakers.

im the same as most of you guys, i've always loved music from as early as i can remember (probabloy due to having one of those toy trains that played records as a tot), then i started to play the guitar at about 10 years old, played drums (poorly) and also played the bass in a band at school.
i make music because i enjoy it, simple, nothing more nothing less.

why do i enjoy it ? im not sure really to be honest, i suppose it's a way of expressing myself, aswell as escapism

I make music when it makes me feel good to make it, but there are many ways to express yourself and I don't feel pinned down to music or even as though I have to be heard at all but it is a great feeling to make a tune and know people have rocked to it.

I like making things.
Music is the most personally rewarding thing to make.

i cant say i've seen anybody posting in that thread who's making techno just for the money.
if anybody here was making music just for money, they'd be off making pop music or something

**Miromiric** · 08-03-2006, 01:12 PM

you are telling me some people did not start making music in the first place because they saw it will get them more gigs?

**Miromiric** · 08-03-2006, 01:15 PM

or making music with "will this work with hte crowd" attitude :myagi:
