Music is a gut thing. You're working in a medium which is more in touch with the primal than the modern. A gig is a ritual. There's a congregation.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is the most natural thing in the world. When we go to a gig and we all like it and we share that experience, it's the same sense of communion as a sacred rite in Borneo or wherever it may be; it just gets dressed up different. Its good for the soul.
Music is a performance and needs the audience.
With the advent of radio and recording, music became an industry rather than just a tradition.
Music isn't only a profession.
For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.
I wanted contemporary music to be treated the same as the traditional repertoire - performed regularly by people who knew each other and the music. That is the way you convince an audience.
Music is like a really sacred, awesome thing. That first 45 minutes to two hours that you're on stage spending time with music every night is always really great.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
It's a luxury to not have to just be performing with other people to have my music heard.
Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media.
