Music is composed on computers and other electronic equipment; producers don't want to spend money on orchestra.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Engineering producers who don't play and have technology as a background may be the reason why there's a lot of cold non-musical music, for lack of a better description.
I love working with an orchestra, but there are many ways to make music.
People who play conventional music are threatened by electronica and don't consider it to be as valuable as what they do.
I always try not to overload my music with orchestration and to use only those instruments that are absolutely necessary.
Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media.
So the thing is to put out music for music's sake.
Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
The tricky thing is music is supposed to be very mysterious; the way it's made is mysterious. Then people like to get upset with the music business.
The thing is, there are so many different ways to make music these days with virtual instruments, software applications, physical instruments, and computer programs.
Musicians own music because music owns them.
