Description
An important point is getting missed here. It’s about open mindedness, a curious appetite for other creatives. There’s nothing about being butt hurt here. The answer is still up in the air to how people formed groups or played out here before YouTube.
Answer us it wasn’t the attitude of, “Do you have a cassette of CD of your playing? Oh, you don’t. You must be fake then, bye.” A huge chunk of the venues downtown wouldn’t have survived with such attitude. What is important for readers here is we have gotten too content with this idea of validity. If he or she has a demo and it sounds good, he or she must be worth my time. It’s obvious that comfort zone has been held onto for too long.
Venture outside that comfort zone. As musicians, we are consistently improving. We are never masters at our instrument. Someone can be absolute horseshit one year,, and have labels lining up the next. Unless you can’t find code Al chemistry, there’s no room—or right, to cherry pick. Get in your garage and jam.
You’re not Rick Rubin, you’re not Taylor Swift, you’re here to find musicians, right? That hood you will be like Taylor Swift? Then setup a jam with whomever reaches out to you, and see what magic you make.
It comes when you least expect it.
