With instrumental music, it is traditionally hard to get exposure.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Instrumental music is increasingly marginalized and there's just no outlet, there's no venue for it, in terms of media.
I changed my mindset and figured, Why not try to be really entertaining instrumentally?
Getting an audience requires luck as well as talent. Some artists are private and shy. It costs them too much.
I think what made it difficult for people to get, and still makes it difficult for people to get, is the theatrical nature of the work and the fact that, my music doesn't exist without the performance-art element.
If I have an audience, I'd like to make music for my whole life. But it's not really up to me.
I have sometimes been told that my music is 'difficult' for the listener.
There's nothing more exciting to me than using real instruments in the studio.
The bulk of my set is instrumental and you have to give yourself and the audience some relief because a performance is not about great guitar playing it's really about entertainment.
It's very easy for people to put out music.
I really feel like I've written my most effective music in the instrumental realms.
