you are making music looking at the past or the future?

gohleekwang · 11.09.2007, 09:18 PM

some make music to bring themself closer to the master (looking at the past), i consider myself making music for the future.

how about you?

Norma J · 11.09.2007, 09:19 PM

Both.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 11.09.2007, 09:56 PM

I don't know. I just try to take what I've learned and reapply it in my own way.

Well done...

Savage Clone · 11.09.2007, 10:03 PM

I make music that I want to listen to.

flophousefloozie · 11.09.2007, 10:35 PM

Learn from the mistakes made in the past to make a better (sounding) future, I guess.
I mean, you have to consider what you loved in the past and apply that. Mixing old with now, I'd say.

flophousefloozie · 11.09.2007, 10:36 PM

You can't create something out of nothing, so the past will always be a factor. There's no getting around, that even if you wanted to

That's correct, but i would say my direction is to walkout from the shadow of the past, not stay in the shadow or under the shadow of the past, once you start to make your own music you start to walk.

or should i say one must walkout from the shadow of the past.

hope this statement is not too harsh.

ZEROpumpkins · 11.09.2007, 11:41 PM

Past. I don't like music of the last 10 years, with a few exceptions.

Dead-Air · 11.10.2007, 02:15 AM

I'm actually into making music for the Present, but then as William Gibson likes to point out of late, the Present is now the Future. While most of my influences are certainly 20th Century, I'm very into considering what it means to be making 21st Century music and looking for new ways to recontextualize sound for the current era.

Any work of art is both for the past (as soon it's created it is past) and the future (it will be discovered and appreciated in the future - unless it is forgotten off course).

There is no returning, especially when somebody said they make music from the past, it is actually play safe, and wanted to get the aggreement "hey this guy can play"...

imagine if Thurston & Lee just a Jimmy Page wannabe...

that's the very driving force behind every note that I ever recorded. Bravo.

racehorse · 11.10.2007, 12:27 PM

take from the past and the future to make something not as good as either.

them ask me why I play music......

music is the most high!

atsonicpark · 11.10.2007, 05:44 PM

I just don't pay attention to either one, I make my own musical language and do what I want and not care about the rest. It's true that you can't help but be inspired by things you've heard and liked, but I look at it as this: Bands I've liked have already made that music, I can't best what they've done, so why bother?

Bastian · 11.10.2007, 06:23 PM

I'd think that only few bands make "music for the future". It's hard to be avant garde when so much has been done already. All the most of us can hope to archive is to make an interesting new interpretation of what already exists.

atsonicpark · 11.10.2007, 06:32 PM

Well, the only band who is really doing things I'd never heard before is Omoide Hatoba... but yeah. THey're looking for the future.
